Viewing Some thoughts...

For instance, it would be great to be able to move a picture round inside a box in the same way it's handled in ID. That would mean the crop could be changed inside EW and not have to be handled outside in something like PhotoShop.

Scaling grouped items by clicking and dragging would be good. Something else I noticed about groups is that when I group a number of items and want to change their position on the page, if I then change the coordinates, the items go to their new position individually and not as part of the group. Surely the point of a group is to manage items together and not separately?

It would be great to have a mini grid of 9 dots in the Inspector pane as ID does, so that the user can select a particular corner or edge of an object and change it's coordinates relative to the corner or edge point selected.

It would also be great to have some grids or to be able to make my own grids up and also to be able to see rulers and to have the ability to turn them on and off. I think grids and rulers are pretty essential elements when trying to make objects line up.

I also noticed (and this was something I mentioned to the EW team a while back) that when I copy and paste text in from Word or Pages the formatting is also imported and even when I select all the text and apply new formatting, fonts, sizing etc sometimes bits of the old formatting still remain. It's really noticeable with linespacing. Even after changing the linespacing then working on other elements on the site, if I go back and check the linespacing, the value box is blank and when I type in the linespacing value again, the text visibly moves a little – even though the actual value should have stayed the same. Maybe a button which deletes all the formatting from previous software would help?

Something else which would be helpful is when text or a box is selected, it's colour is highlighted in the colour pane. Sometimes I have several colours which are very similar in the colour pane and it can be difficult knowing which colour has been applied.

It would be great to have a better way to organise assets, using folders for instance, especially on larger sites..

When an item is duplicated it would be great to have options, for instance where do I want to duplicate the item to and how many do I want to copy. Again this is used in Adobe software as Step and Repeat.

It would be good to have the option to Ctrl or Option click through an object to grab an item behind, rather than move the item on top to be able to see something underneath.

Apologies if these sound like me rambling but as I say I wanted to just get them down on paper as they had been on my mind for some time and whilst some are feature requests, I'm sure some are bugs or potential issues which could be resolved with changes.

Finally, are there any changes in the pipeline to the way responsiveness is currently handled and will breakpoints be added instead of just desktop and mobile options for sizing?
