Currently, to select a layer, we can either use the selection tab, which includes a search option, or we can first select the desired layer and then click on "Add Trigger" or the "+" to add a response. However, it would be more convenient to be able to select the targeted layer (object) directly by clicking on it in the Canvas (the middle window). The chosen target can be adjusted based on the last selected object.

As a user with poor vision, I find the default font size and UI scale in ProtoPie’s workspace too small to read comfortably. This affects the visibility of menu items, scene parameters, and inspector settings, making it difficult to work efficiently and puts a lot of stress on my eyes. I’d love to see an option to adjust the interface scale or font size within the app, similar to what other design tools offer. This would greatly improve accessibility and usability for users with visual strain or those using 4K monitors. Suggested Features: UI scaling slider or presets (e.g., 100%, 125%, 150%) Font size adjustment for menus, panels, and inspector Option to toggle high-contrast or larger UI mode This would make ProtoPie more inclusive and adaptable to different user needs and working environments. Thank you for considering!

Make all layers automatically editable after export from a sketch file. Or that it asks at the beginning if it should do this.

don't want to have to see the entire interaction - i want to be able to play from any point in the timeline

Grid + guides + rulers Ability to snap to grid and guides

Currently, ProtoPie Connect allows users to integrate ProtoPies created in ProtoPie Studio and group them for synchronized behavior. These Pies can be loaded from various sources, such as the cloud, ensuring consistent behavior across different machines. However, when positioning individual Pies within the Stage View, this configuration is saved locally on a single machine. This limits collaboration among team members, as each person's Stage View setup is unique to their device. The Stage View is essential for incorporating Web Embeds, Live Camera feeds, and Unity projects into a ProtoPie prototype. Therefore, making the Stage View configuration shareable among team members would significantly improve collaboration and streamline the prototyping workflow. Proposed Solution: Implement a mechanism to share the Stage View configuration within a ProtoPie Connect project. This could involve: Storing the Stage View layout (position, size, etc. of each Pie, Web Embed, Live Camera, and Unity project) within the ProtoPie Connect project file or in a cloud-based configuration. Allowing users to import/export Stage View configurations. Providing a synchronization feature to ensure all team members have the same Stage View layout. Benefits: Improved team collaboration: Team members can work on the same prototype with a consistent Stage View setup. Streamlined workflow: Reduces the need for manual configuration on each machine. Enhanced presentation capabilities: Ensures consistent prototype presentation across different devices. Use Case: A team of designers is working on a prototype that includes a mobile app interface (ProtoPie), a web-based dashboard (Web Embed), and a live camera feed. They need to ensure that the Stage View layout is consistent across all team members' machines to facilitate collaborative design and testing. Conclusion: Sharing the Stage View configuration in ProtoPie Connect would be a valuable addition that enhances collaboration and streamlines the prototyping workflow.

Similar to importing audio files, allow the import of AHAP files to use custom haptics.

As a Designer I want to have all text elements already converted to text to save time.

At the moment the components panel only has a grid view and the names truncate. It would be good to have better organisation. I'm thinking thngs like: A list view so the names aren't truncated. The ability to group components into folders or in some way, maybe something more along the lines of After Effects project window rather than Sketch's weird naming grouping and the ability to filter by keyword.
