To understand later a BluffTitler show, it would be interesting in the "Technical info" window to know the name "child layer" types attached to the "parent layer". Currently only the name of the parent layer is indicated.
Example for parent text layer:
type of layer attached: "border" or "plasma", "particles",...), is - it possible?
or is there a trick to find out?
Thanks you
Oh wow, thank you for your request! Do you really use this dialog when designing? It is only meant for debugging. If you need this dialog to understand the show there's clearly something wrong with the GUI...
Isn't the layers dropdown listbox giving you enough insight in the layers hierarchy? Are you aware that child layers are displayed directly below their parent layers and are rendered a bit to the right?
For small shows with about 20 layers this should be enough. We understand shows with hundreds of layers ask for a separte layers toolbar. We rather develop this toolbar than extending the technical info/debug dialog.
Also note that thanks to the recently added EDIT > CHANGE ALL TEXTS dialog you no longer have to understand the show to change the texts.

Excuse me if I'm not clearly explained to me (my English is not very good). Actually, I have no problem to create a custom show (little show for family use: less than 20 layers) with the use of the software (version 8.7.0 PRO), its dialog boxes and no problem for the understanding of parents layers and attached child layers.
To understand the shows more complex and more professional made available in Gallery BT, I download the files and then, only then, I use the "Technical Info" window to understanding the complete project and General composition (layers, effects used,...). My aim is not to change a text in a gallery BT project downloaded without understanding the principle of show and its effects, but to inspire me to create my own show.
Thanks again for answering me.

Ok, we will try to make it easier to understand the structure of bigger shows. Thank you for your request!
