Containers has import but no export button

Continuing the discussion from Previously reported R8 UI issues still present:

Right now there is this way to export a container:

It was introduced as a way to share tools, but this is almost certain to go away again, as it doesn’t really solve issue correctly.

I think that’s actually how I DID export one of the custom containers I’d cooked.

And I’m curious as to what “Size to Content” is supposed to do, as it doesn’t appear to do anything.

it increases the size if the buttons don’t fit, or reduces the size if the content is smaller than the container.
I hope the developers get it to work the same as it did in Rhino 7 for Mac though, at least for the latter function.

Interesting. So on my Mac, it’s not even selectable:

Although you can’t see the cursor in the screen cap, the hover text help does show up, it just doesn’t highlight so you can hit it:

And, while cutting the SS’s to document that it just dawned on me that there IS hover text for most of this stuff, Which I’d never noticed before, most likely because I always just fly through the menus and never sit there long enough for em to show up…

DOH!

You guys put all that work into labeling all this stuff and I’m guessing a lot of us have zero clue it’s actually there as I just now noticed it after years of using it.

Still a few minor issues with this on the Windows side, but seems like it has gotten better in the last few iterations…

I was talking about this behavior, which is just much nicer on Rhino 7 for Mac:

interesting, I don’t see those tooltips here :thinking:

i was thinking about this one either and wanted to ask for it for a while, is there an open tracker for this? is that being worked on?
