Need more detail in card snaps? ZOOM!

Watch me zoom a card snapshot out to full size with a click, double-click or a keystroke:

Keystrokes that zoom:

Click to unzoom:

Keystrokes that unzoom:

All tRev components have been updated for zoom as well as the Quickstart and Shortcut documents for OS X and Vista/7.

ALERT: As of the update made hours after this post, double-clicking the area outside the snap no longer zooms and unzooms. Instead double-clicking the area directly outside the snap (but within the surrounding snap pane) will now edit the script of the card snap's stack. Also, double-clicking any non-control area inside the snap will open the script of the card.

Snapshots of your cards in Object Browser!

(download)

Visualize Your Controls

  • Snaps are snapshots of cards shown in tRev's Object Browser.
  • Snaps can be turned on or off via a Column Button called Snap.
  • Snap buttons are beneath the Object Browser's Cards and Controls columns.

Get to Editing Faster

  • Click a line item in Controls to place orange rect around the control in card's Snap.
  • Click a control in a Snap and its line item in Controls list hilites.
  • Double-click any control in the Snap to edit it in tRev.
  • Hold down shift to inspect its properties in Rev.

Look, Mom—No Mouse!

  • Typing return or enter is the same as double-clicking a Snap's control.
  • Use the arrow keys to navigate the Controls list and work mouse-less.
  • Your mother will be proud. Fathers are harder to please.

Safety, Power, Convenience

  • When you click on a Snap to select a control, it cannot be moved or altered—only edited.
  • Click an invisible control in the list and you will see its rect in the Snap.
  • Click an off-screen control in the list and you will see its rect in the Snap if it's nearby.
  • Click a disabled control in the Snap and it will become selected in the list.

Gather Images for Documentation

  • Shift-click a Snap and it gets saved to your clipboard as a JPEG.
  • Entire image of the card is included with a gray 1 pixel border.
  • You'll get visual (flash) and aural (shutter sound) feedback indicating success.

Quick Keys

  • Single keystroke shortcuts for Object Browser are now called Quick Keys.
  • Quick Key for turning Snap on or off is p as in 'snap a picture' of a card.
  • Quick Key for Snap will not work unless Cards or Controls column is active.

Your Brain on Snaps

  • With Snaps you can use both sides of your brain: spatial and analytical.
  • Anecdotal evidence indicate an effect approximating hedonic hypersynchrony.

Fixed This Week

  • After cmd+f, cut, copy & paste shortcuts work in Find and Replace fields.
  • Column button Delete now actually works after its warning dialog appears.
