being able to edit all rules in one place

me again (sorry)

all rules are listed in this branch/folder-view. For me it would make it much easier to be able to edit all CSS rules created with microthemer in one editor (as an option) and be able to delete (would also delete them from branch), write new ones or re-order exisiting ones. Folder logic could be added with special shortcodes (only for microthemer) with beginning tag and ending tag. All rules in between folder tags would be added into folder. New folder could be added by adding new shortcode into editor. This would make it very flexible. In the end one could copy code and remove plugin.

Thanks again! Really appreciating your hard work for the WordPress community.

[Edit] Was expecting this feature in “Full code editor” but is empty even after adding new rules in “branch” [Edit]

Hey Pierre,

Apologies, I had to dash out before I could reply to this yesterday. But thanks for your suggestion. The full code editor is a simple way to add arbitrary CSS that doesn’t have to conform to the single selector pattern used in the main UI, which syncs with the UI fields. The CSS added to the full code editor does not sync with the UI, which is why you don’t see anything there.

Your suggestion has been raised in the past actually. And I considered it, but the main reason I haven’t implemented it is stability and performance. I worry that imperfections in the code-to-UI synchronisation could result in data loss or disorganisation of styles. And that mapping whole folders of selectors could result in lag when typing in the code editor.

I hope that makes sense.

Cheers,
Sebastian

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying!
