How to...

In CoverFlow view, "Selected Item Video" does not exist. I tried using the "User Defined Video" object to get the video of the selected game, but it just won’t work. I would also like to have a fallback that displays screenshots of the game as a slideshow, but that doesn’t seem to be possible either. I really need to understand if and how I can create a theme with these important features. I really need help

By the way, I’m going to start offering my tutorials in French soon. There’s a huge demand here, and people keep pestering me about it—it’s almost harassment! I checked, and it’s true that no one is talking about it on YouTube here.^^ I think this will bring you a lot of people, especially now that you’ve translated it! I made an announcement on my Facebook group, and no one even knew it had already been translated!

Hey hello Dave, So, I have a few questions that might seem simple, but I haven’t found the answers! First question: How do you assign a pointer? I’ve been experimenting here and there, and I think I wasn’t far off, but it’s still a bit obscure to me. Second question: This one is more of a general concern. As you know, I use almost all the views in my projects, which sometimes creates navigation issues. Sometimes, I lose track and don’t really know where I am! Is there a way to display the view’s name? And even better, can we rename the view? Last question: Is it possible to assign PNG indexing (like on Hyperspin)? Most existing media are in this format, and it would save us a ton of time instead of doing everything manually (finding the font, editing colors, etc.). Thanks for all your insights! I’m still having a blast, and it’s already been 5 years! 🎉 ps :By the way, have you planned for the customization of the view selection window? The one that opens for choosing a view? That would be awesome!

Honestly, the devblog approach is enjoyable and interesting, but not very helpful when you want to know what a certain thing does or how to achieve a specific task. The Affinity software YouTube page has things divided up pretty well in this regard. There are "Getting Started in 10 Mins" type as well as feature-specific videos. Obviously, they are a corporation with a dedicated team, but good inspo maybe. https://www.youtube.com/@Affinity

How to make the circular wheel. The preset doesnt look anything like the original unified wheel does. I cant crack it and Ive been at it for months

From what I’ve seen of the videos you created to show off the most recent updates to the theme creator, I was thinking that perhaps these new capabilities superseded some of the techniques in the 2023 videos. Maybe a few short videos focused on that kind of thing. Perhaps outline how a particular thing was done in the 2023 videos, but now is easier in the current version and you explain that in greater detail. As someone just getting into this, I want to leverage the best way of building a theme.

I’m just starting out trying to create a theme. How relevant are the beginner videos from say 2 years ago? There have been so many great changes to this app that I want to be able to incorporate them. Would it make sense to do a new series of videos on how to get started?
