Nested addons looks very interesting - guessing this may reduce the code base of pages a bit without the need to always use rows and columns to do layouts?
Question - if we disable an addon, does this remove the associated CSS from page loads, or does it just prevent use of the addon from the builder?
I really need an add-on "buy in one click" which sends to the mail (or to the admin panel) the Page Link, Name and Phone number of the customer. Data collection can be implemented through a pop-up window.
Hello, when editing addons I often have the problem that the block cannot be moved to see and use all editing options. The block is then too far outside the usable screen.
Enhanced Inline Editing System
The option box always gets in the way I can't see what I'm doing or making.
Make it so that it never sits in my workspace or addon box space.
The Text Block option box is too large for the Enhanced Inline Editing System.
You only see the bottom or the top but never the whole thing.
Just put it to the side just like the other big option things.
Addon Gallery
Two photos or more.
If you set a gap width, it will not be visible in your Page Builder workspace, but it is visible on the website itself.
Addon Gallery
Wish
Photographers don't want the photos to be deformed. Can you add an option so that the photo always retains its own aspect ratio.
Now you have to do it with CSS.
img {
object-fit:contain;
width: 100%;
height: 100%; }
Desktop, Laptop, Tablet Landscape, Tablet Portrait, Phone Landscape, Phone.
Is it possible to give the Padding and the Margin their own setting with all these different views.
If so, then it doesn't work.
looking forward to the release.
One question: When exporting a page how will it be named?
Now you get an export file with no naming after the exported file. Now it's named e.g. template12345.json.
Could you let it please just name it the same like the exported page?
Thanks.

Gap
If you set the gap, a kind of margin is visual immediately added in Page Builder workspace.
But it is good on the website itself.
