Hello,

I just started to really use the IDE integrated Form Designer in a real project. Here are the bugs i have noted :

- When used in a project, Image path should be relative from the project main file and not from the current ".pbf" file. Indeed, if the ".pbf" file is in a subdirectory, the project will not compile ("file not found").
- In Images (like done with ButtonImage) "ImageID" should be "0" and not "ImageID()" when no image is specified. Otherwise, the project can not compile
- How is it possible to have multiple ".pbf" files with Images/Button Images inside ? For each image in a ".pbf" file, the Form Designer is creating same constants or variables named "#Img_0" , "#Img_1" ... a.s.o. [edit] (noted that it should be fixed in next beta) [/edit]
- It would be great to have a default keyboad shortcut to switch "code / design view" (ctrl-t ?)
- Why is it not possible to use the symbol "|" (pipe) in a PanelGadget tab name ? (it is replaced by "Chr(10)" in the source code).
- With PB5.20b5 : "switch code / design view" opens an "open file" requester (Linux) or create a new tab (Windows) or crash

> It would be great to have a keyboad shortcut to switch "code / design view"

Already in the IDE Preferences ("Shortcuts -> Form -> Switch Code/Design View").

Thank you very much for that. Sorry, i had not seen it as there was no shortcut by default in the menu
I think it will be a good thing to have a "standardised" shortcut by default for this function.

I have edited my first post to complete it.

This is already the case in 5.20 unless I'm missing something.

Same.

Well spotted, fixed.

If you can report only one bug per topic if makes it much easier to keep track of what I've fixed or not, even if it's more time consuming

It is ok with ButtonImageGadget(), but not with ImageGadget()

Right. Do you prefer we report Form Designer bugs in "Form Designer" section of the forum or in the "Bug" section of the forum ?

In the form designer is best as it's easier for me to see what to fix

Fixed (I should read your bug reports more attentively too, didn't see you meant ImageGadget at the beginning!).
