New tools: Pull Tool and Auto All

[Seth Cooper]

This topic is for feedback on the new Pull Tool and Auto All.  Are they useful?  Stable?  How could they be improved?

This works for me, strangely, in Puzzle 31 but not 32 (on the Mac). Also it doesn't seem that there's any control key modifier that will mimic the right hand mouse button.

In what way does it not work on Puzzle 32?  You can mimic the right button by holding down shift, on either Mac or Windows.

I used the pull tool earlier, but now I try the pull tool, and when I pull, nothing happens.  I tried to use other tools and go back to the pull tool, but it still doesn't want to pull.  This is happening on puzzle 32.  I switch to puzzle 31 and it works fine.  I switch back to 32, and it doesn't work again. I can add rubber bands, but nothing else seems to work.

Which part of Puzzle 32 are you trying to pull?  How much of it turns purple?  Are some parts locked (they will be grayed out)?

Sorry : my mistake. What I was doing was clicking; getting no feedback, and assuming the tool wasn't working properly. What you have to do is click then drag : feedback doesn't happen until you drag.

I tried to pull all over, and it won't move anywhere (I didn't try every single strand, but at least in 6-8 places).  I don't remember about colors right now, but I think nothing changed color when I was trying to pull.  I didn't lock anything on purpose and I don't think any of it was grayed out.  I also tried to lock things and that didn't work, either.  It seemed the only part of the tool that was functioning properly was the rubber bands (placing them).

You have to click and drag a bit on the backbone to pull it, not just click and release.  When you start pulling, the part affected by the pull should turn purple. This works in Puzzle 31 but not 32 for you?

Well now I'm seeing the same behaviour described by Ferzie: it works on 31 but not on 32: I can add and delete rubber bands but nothing turns purple on click and drag.

Ok, I'll try to reproduce this.  Do you have to do anything specific to get it to not work, like switch puzzles, or does it just not work right away now?  Do you have any bands or locks on your solution?  Does the mouse cursor still change and backbone highlight when you mouse over?
