Everytime I click on the preview / eye icon, the debugger logs is automatically opened.
This is starting to be a huge and annoying problem because of the following reasons:
Every time the logs open, it lags and I want to still be on the tab I was on (usually the html tree), not open the logs. The logs opens automatically when I donāt want it to which slows down the whole thing. The whole editor slows down unnecessarily.
This DISRUPTS the editing process. I donāt want to keep going to the logs. I have to keep toggling out of the logs when I donāt want the logs to be open to go back to where I was on.
Letās say Iām editing an element, i could be previewing it about 50 times in the span of 15 minutes just to see whatās happening. I donāt want to keep toggling out of the debugger logs (as I donāt need it YET)ā¦ I am still working on the element and require other tabs.
There are a million reasons reasons why someone would click on the preview icon, that isnāt because a problem is happening and would not require the debugger logs to be open.
Debugger logs is only useful when something wrong happens, donāt want it to keep opening every time I just want to exit editing mode to go to preview mode to view my app. Sometimes I just want to preview stuff / try stuff out as Iām building them, I am not in fixing / debugging mode.
One example is when I am trying to change from page to page, I will click on the āpreview iconā so that I can click to navigate BUT the logs is open and its laggy and I lose the html tree.
This constant context switching is the death of productivity.
A similar problem happens when we exit workflow. when we exit the workflow, we donāt need the logs to be open because we are already done debugging. But this is a much less annoying problem than the preview eye icon triggering the logs because it happens less regularly.
A much more intuitive behaviour is that when we click on the preview icon, just let it stay on the tab we were on - whether this is the html tree, variables, or debugger.
Great!! I am so relieved. Thank you, it is driving me nuts and slowing me down, i will focus on other things first and come back to building my app when itās fixed haha
I have a particularly heavy application that has LOTS of custom code and HUGE objects that I updateā¦ I have to wait 20 seconds every single time I preview. Veryyyyy time consuming - sometimes the logs crash my browser/tab. I just upgraded to 64gb of RAM. Itās helping, next is the CPU, evidently.
Please fix ASAP
(Iām grateful for your comment saying youāre working on it! Just wanted to chime in and echo the sentiments)
Agreed! On a related note, itād be very nice if there were keyboard shortcuts to open up different panels in the editor. This would save me hours a week.
I know webflow has these extensively, bubbles is limited (but thereās a third party browser extension called Bubble Buddy that offers more), but weweb only has a shortcut to toggle preview mode to my knowledge.
P.S. Btw - when we exit a workflow, could we go back to where we were at when we entered the workflow instead of staying in the debugger Logs? Haha thank you.
Thatās also hella annoying haha because the logs lag everytime and when we exit the workflow page, we donāt need logs anymore.
