MMB 1.2

Improved Object List
The group object can expand (tree like) to show objects (or groups) in this group.
The advantage:
- you can refine the position of the object in the group without 
  ungrouping the group. Just expand the group in the object list, 
  select the desired object and refine the position with the keyboard arrows.
- you can Remove object from group and move it outside the group. See Remove from Group;
- you can delete object inside the group without ungrouping the group

Better Tracker
The tracker - rectangle around the selected object was sometimes jumping to wrong position.
(If you open some dialog box) and now it is also visible on the black background.

Bug fix - DropShadow and Glow
This bug appear if you resize the rectangle of the bitmap and create drop shadow or glow.

Bug fix - change Label inside the group.
If you changed the Label of the object inside a group, the objects appeared unslectable or even invisible.

The Remove all effects in the menu Effects was renamed to Restore original.

New:
Add new Actions in "Interactive with other objects" for Mouse Click on the object

Show - Show an object or a group. This will stay until some object will hide it.
Hide - Hide an object or a group. This will stay until some object will show it.

Invert (Show-Hide)
Show or Hide an object or a group. 
If the object is hidden, this will show it and vice-versa.

Those actions allow you to create nice effects like menus etc. See NewMenu.mbd sample.
Note: One object can show/hide a nested group (Group1) inside another group (Group2). 
Another object can show/hide this group (Group2)... There is a lot of logic inside. See the demo.

Two actions for Mouse click on object.
Mouse click on object can trigger another action after the first one. 
For example the first action can hide the whole group and the second action can show one member of the group.
See the example groupact.mbd

New - Add to Group
In order to add an object to some existing group select the object 
hold down SHIFT and select the desired group. Click Add to Group button 
or from menu Arrange select Add to Group.
You can also add a group into another group the same way, but remember to select first
the object you want to add and then the group where you want to place the object.

New - Remove from Group
You can remove (ungroup) single object from the group. Select the object inside the group in 
the Object list and press Remove from Group button.

New - Scalable Bitmap Objects
Bitmap objects are now scalable. If you resize the bitmap object the image will resize as well.
You can return the image to the original anytime (even after you save) 
just clicking Restore Original from Effects menu.
Note: after you resize the image all effects (sharpen, blur, flip, gray scale) will be removed.
This is because MMB is trying to make the new resized image with the best possible quality. 
To preserve the ratio hold down Control key.

New - Tile. Effects menu)
After you resize the image you can apply this effect. If the new image is bigger than original the image 
will be tiled to the size of new image. If the new size is smaller the image will be cropped from right-bottom.
Note: if you resize the image again the tile effect will be removed. In order to preserve the tilled image you 
should apply Make new Original command.

New - Crop tool (Effect menu)
Cropping cuts away rectangular areas on an image without affecting the resolution or dimension of the area that remain.
To crop an image:Select image object.Select Crop from menu EffectsDraw rectangle inside image.

You can Restore the original image clicking Restore Original in menu Effects.

If you resize cropped image, the original image will be restored.
If you are satisfied with your new image then you can apply 
"Make new original" from menu Effects. 
After that you can resize the new cropped image like it was an original image.

New - Make new Original
Whenever you resize the image, the original image is resized. 
This preserves the best possible quality.
The same works for cropping and Tile - the full image before cropping or tilling is still remembered. 
If you resize the cropped or tilled  image the original image will resize instead.
Make new Original replace the temporary original image with the current image.
Then you can resize tilled image or cropped image like you would do with normal image.


New - Reduce size (File menu)
Resizing bitmaps and applying effect will create temporary bitmaps inside the project.
Those bitmaps are not necessary for distributing and removing them can significantly reduce the size 
of the project.

New - Setting the new font for Text Object will change the default font.

New - Insert Bubble
This command insert a Bubble metafile from the clip art.

Metafile
Metafile in version 1.2 has properties. You can also flip metafile horizontal or vertical.

Enhanced TextButton
The menu item style was added. Instead of button the object can behave like a menu item.
See Menus.mbd.
