Thanks for the explanation!  I had seen that setting on the Misc. tab but I didn't realize that is what it did.

Bieber:
Yeah, I know it's not entirely intuitive to have it there, but it should at least be useful when creating the SBS document, so you can see how it will look when rendered for the various screens.  Hopefully the auto-setting will confuse people a little less :)

Pair of ideas, in an attempt to make it more WYSIWYG:
1]
how feasible would it be to code a wizard to build bitmap strip strings for playback/repeat etc tags.

the wizard could be a form questionnaire asking
width/height, and total parts (for the custom ones like volume/battery);
tag to apply it to
then according to answers provided, load a bitmap, and have it show in parts what each part will correspond to (preview function) and the tag string ready for copy/paste

the export project function would also package the bitmap in the appropriate folder when it zips.


2]
was the intention for the parser window something along the lines of having the parser pull descriptive tag definitions from a database-type file, the parser would show output similar to --debugwps from the simulator? if not, then should it?

slight side issue, are you asking because %?mp<%xd(Aa)|%xd(Ab)|%xd(Ac)|%xd(Ad)|...> is too complicated? not understandable? error prone? long winded?

Just saying the editor should have an ability to show where these parts go, and as well be able to display it into the preview window as it currently doesn't load the images listed in %xl tags unless within a project

If you are pointing out the fact i am still working on the theme with that tag usage - i've already got it straight, but changed other things.
