ModuloPi New version out.
Stéphane says:

What's new in this version :

The "Find text" module does find/replace in the text fields of the current card (including bg fields)
ctrl or cmd-F will open this module if a field is open (otherwise the find module is opened)
cmd-G finds the next
cmd-E finds the selection
If the searched string is found in a field outside the visible part of a scrolling window, the window will scroll to show the field.

The "Find" module now returns the lines of scripts where the searched string was found. Double-clicking this result edits the script and puts the insertion point at the right line. Unfortunately, it doesn't scroll the script field. But typing something forces the scroll, personnally, I use the right arrow.
The find module allows setting editable filters. A filter is a ST expression returning a boolean. If this expression returns false, the found item is ignored
For instance, one of the three default filters is as follows :
Name of the filter the filter
Ignore commented char 1 to 2 of found ? "--"
where "found" stands for the line of script where the searched string was found.

The number of the current card is now editable in the PI, this allows setting the number of the card.

The five main tools have been added to the window section of the contextclick popup. This allows limited edition of palettes (moving an object, changing a text ...) without converting the style to standard.

When the mouse is over a bg object and the editbg is false, ctrl-tab will toggle to the universal tool instead of the pointer tool.

Arcs can now be flipped and rotated from the "flip" popup menu of the "sizes" card of the PI. But the handling of picturedata in arcs still needs some working on.

I also fixed some bugs, especially in the dividers plug-in, especially when using dividers with the autoresize of the bg set to
false (in a scrolling window, for instance).

I say Thanks Stéphane MPI is an essential part of SuperCard for me.

Translucent Drag Hiliting
Starting in 4.5.1, when you drag text from a field, or pick or drag a single object, SuperCard will attempt to supply an image to represent the dragged item. If pick selected is invoked (which allows for the possibility that multiple items will be dragged), the normal gray outlines are still used in the interest of speed.
