Hello,

The property from inner module is displayed on parent module. This might be a feature but it might also be a bug. Here is image.

P.S.

Later I removed Property checkbox from property but it is still displayed on main module property panel and I can even change the property of inner module threw outer module.

The property should beam upwards until it's 'caught' by an active Property panel and then not transmitted upwards further.

Can you post an OSM where this isn't what's happening?

Here it is. I am a beginner and I am still working on this experimental synth.

unlock the panel and you should see a red line, expand the module and then drag the property where you need it and then lock the panel again and it should show be there then.

here is the schematic with it done:

Hello,

I tried that but it moves the property on the parent panel. And that bring us to an interesting observation. The property is displayed on both panels 😮

It's little hard to say what/where the problem is with so much going on in the front-most property panel.

Why do you have what looks like a full GUI in the properties instead of the main front panel?

Well from my point of view this is rather simple. It is either a feature (un)documented or a bug. If it is a feature there must be a way to control it.

Edit boxes. I am not saying I am doing everything guru style and I am not even trying. First proof of concept and learning in the way. Finishing comes at the end after some experience is gained.

why don't you just replace all of the float labels with the "edit box" instead and you'll be able to place them where you like on the front panel.

here's the schematic with that middle one done with edit box:

LT EDIT: Wireless error erased! To get shut of the error, go inside the label where the edit box is and delete the preview box. Don't know why it works when I do that but it does..lol

don't forget to delete the red outline i put in it.

Nice. Thanks. I'll study those two examples. It is what I needed.

I'll move this to bugs now. Also I got the message about non wireless found again. Did you get the same when opening file? I'll add a screenshot under same topic under bugs.

wireless error removed in the .osm above

It might be some other trick, since I had similar problem before and all I did was look threw file save it and open again. After that it worked just fine.

I've been having a spate of those the last few days - only with one particularly large project I'm working on. This seems to be the modus operandi... -Close SM at the end of a session -Answer 'Yes' to the do-you-want-to-save dialogue -SM crashes after saving the file -Upon loading that file, I get 'Wireless not Found' errors. ...But the schematic apparently works just fine - so I do what you do; save a new copy, and that one's always OK (so far)

I'm just trying to narrow down what causes the crashes before I send an email to support - but my best guess, based on previous experience (including the same schematic) is that SM is not too careful at memory management. I've spotted memory leaks in the past when doing a lot of loading and saving of large schematics, especially when the design uses a lot of memory buffers (arrays) in code and assembly.

BTW. I managed to open your file OK without error.
