Svg Icon Tool

Thu Aug 25 14:46:39 EDT 2022

the two things that are glaring, imho are
* [preHiliteChanged](https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23207) -
someone taps on a selection. i do a check, throw up a "nope", and nothing
changes. this one is preventing me from moving off of the tmControls navbar.
* autowidth to the card width.
but there are several others, as well
https://quality.livecode.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=navigation%20bar&list_id=105904
listen, i get it. i need to re-learn lcb and actually use it.
but i also have force powers, so i know that someone is going to do these
things, before i do, and then i won't have to.
