Release Pinegrow Web Editor 9 Beta 1 · Pinegrow/PinegrowReleases

This is a huge release, not measured by new features, but by effort that went into polishing the most common workflows, refreshing the UI and taking care of many rough edges.

Take Pinegrow 9 for a spin and let us know if you run into any issues - or just to tell us how you feel about it.

Still on to-do for the full release is the light theme and fixing all the bugs you will report.

Watch the videos about the top 5 improvements to get oriented:

The plan is to fix any bugs you report over the weekend and publicly release another Beta on Monday, before we then close the ongoing sale.

Thanks & have a fun weekend!

I am looking forward to trying this. One small point I noticed is that the About screen says version 8.9.1 on my Mac. There is a splash screen when opening that mentions getting the Tailwind add-on, and that is presumably for first-time users, rather than those who had it already in 8.6.2.

[matjaz]

Thanks @Bilko! The version 8.91 is used for the Beta release, to keep the 9.0 free for the official PG 9 release. The Tailwind promo is a part of the ongoing sale promotion. I’ll disable it in PG 9 to keep things clear.

So far so good! I really like the smart mode, it really keeps the interface clean and easy to work with. Thanks so much for this great update. I’ll report any bugs, but so far I haven’t found any!

[PeteSharp]

So far really nice. I like the new UI in the layer tree, and the vertical line is really handy. A few Tailwind centric stuff turns up in a Bootstrap project, but I am not sure if it’s just because it’s an existing project quirk. I will document it and send it to support. But that might not happen for a day or two. I had expected I would switch straight to flexible, but Smart works really well. Looking forward to light mode, as I usually use that. Preview is working smoother than Browser Sync does across devices, you have a done an excellent job here. I will put it through more intense stuff on Monday.

Great job @matjaz it has a good feel IMO.

[MaxZieb]

congratulations …

will give it a spin over the holidays

Congratulations on this remarkable work. I appreciate the new user interface. I have a small observation regarding the PHP file, its icon always remains that of HTML5. Very good work @matjaz

[matjaz]

Thanks @JuniorZabunga, will add the PHP icon.

[JuniorZabunga]

You are welcome @matjaz .

Possible Bug→ Pingrow 9 (8.9.1)

The top menu get stuck sometimes and it is not possible to click any item. To fix it, Pingrow restart is needed…

[TechAkayy]

Thanks @Arkadiusz , next time it occurs, can you share the error logged in the devtools.

You can open the devtools by right clicking on the Pinegrow (it changes to a close icon when hovered) icon, and by choosing “Inspect“, and look for any error logs in the Console tab. Alternatively, you could also use shortcut cmd/ctrl+shift+c.

[Arkadiusz]

The problem appears when working in class tree ( components ). Some properties items are not selectable ( no drop down ) . To change the property you need to add it manually but after that the errors appears. The Pingrow top menus are not longer working afterwords: See Console errors log:

[matjaz]

Thanks @Arkadiusz, the fix will be out in the next beta, most likely tomorrow.

[Arkadiusz]

Hello Matjaz,
Did the issue I raised was fixed in the P9 ? .Tx

[matjaz]

@Arkadiusz it is fixed, but I didn’t manage to do a fresh beta release yet. Giving a date like “tomorrow” always comes back to bite me

[Arkadiusz]

Thanks Matjaz… I understand!!!…Although the suspense is ‘killing’ us
