A big Quality of life improvement would be the ability to copy a binding converter from one binding to another.
Especially for calling data. Lots of time I need to make buttons, where you have to enclose a value within a filter statement, and the binding converter is generally the same, it would be super nice just to copy the converter, bind the next button, and past the converter. Boom. Done.
That’s just one example, but with every project I’ve done with Intuiface, there’s usually some element of monotony and busy work. (and then it always seems like when you finish, you have to add or change something and do it all over again lol).
So, the more copy/paste tools available, the faster and more efficient we can be.
Yes I’d love to copy/paste converters to other bindings
Being able to copy & paste a converter with its parameters would be one way of answering a need: being able to duplicate an asset with a binding and a converter, and change the source of a binding.
My own version of that request is that if you have an existing binding and converter and change the source of that binding, the converter should not be deleted automatically.
That being said, most of the time where such converters are used are in a data template, fed by a data source, so I never need to use that converter more than once.
If there’s a task you repeat more than 3 times in Composer, there might be another approach to it
Agreed; though I think I’d like to have both features:
Copy/paste converters onto other bindings.
Converters remain intact when a binding is changed.
Both of these could save hours of busy work.
In most cases, I agree that if you have to do something more than 3 times, there’s a better way. But some things are still far more manual of a process than others.
One such example is when designing a matching game, where you drag and drop one item to match with it’s corresponding placeholder. Even doing it efficiently requires a significant amount of copied triggers and updated bindings, often with very similar properties for each.
