Hi everyone, yesterday we released the beta for version 99 of the Mac app , where Smart Layout in groups is no longer an experimental feature , but rather, released to everyone.
This version includes many improvements, which I’ve added to the original post, and am quoting below. We’ll be making some more improvements during the beta, so please continue to let us know of any issues you find.
paulozoom:
Improved: We’ve greatly improved Smart Layout behavior when deleting layers, so you’ll get more expected results.New: We’ve added keyboard shortcuts to control Smart Layout. Select a group or Artboard and press ⌘L. Then, press ← H → or ↑ V ↓ to set layout direction, L to remove layout, or any other key to cancel the operation. Also, you can do this on a selection of multiple non-group layers, or a mix of layers and groups, and your selection will be automatically wrapped in a group for you.New: Swapping images will now trigger Smart Layout. You can now also choose a sizing option for the swapped image.New: When you enter a new value for a layer’s size or position in a group with Smart Layout, Foresight will now also include any sibling layers (which may be affected by the new value).Improved: Copy and paste now works like duplicate by taking into account layout direction when pasting. When pasting into an evenly-spaced group, the spacing is taken into account as well.Fixed: Fixes Inspector controls in the Layout panel when selecting multiple groups with Smart Layout.Fixed: Resizing a layer in a group with Smart Layout using ⌘ or ⇧⌘ and the arrow keys will now trigger Smart Layout.Fixed: When creating a Symbol from an Artboard with Smart Layout, the current layout option will be pre-filled in the Create Symbol dialog.Fixed: Fixes an issue where, if Smart Layout was temporarily paused, using ⌥-Drag to duplicate a layer inside a group with Smart Layout would place the duplicate at the top of the layer hierarchy, instead of at the same level of the original.
