FLUID: How can I make Live Resize work?

[Gonzalo Garramuño]

Matt,

How does Live Resize work?  When I activate it, it allows me to resize
my main window and all widget positions are respected.  But when I exit
it, the values are not updated and my window is still in its original size.

The Live Resize feature is meant as a verification for setting the resizable hierarchy correctly for your widget. It clones your selected widget, group, or window, and puts it and the children into a resizable window, so you can verify that only the widgets you want to resize actually *do* resize.

If you want to resize your window permanently in the design process, you will find a menu item in the main window in the Layout menu: "Synchronizes Resize". Check that box, and the window will behave the way you expect. Uncheck the box, and the window resizes independently again.

I know that this is not ideal by GUI standards, but at least the functionality is there.
