Fields positions in Dialogs doesn't apply to new dialog

The following issue was found in Version 17.5 (2E45D4A6).

Scenario:
You created a new Enterprise project.
You enter a very long name for your application name (ex: "A Very Long Application Name")
You switch to the Modern Light Cyan Theme.
The dialogs for the Modern Light Cyan Theme are not sized well for long applications names so you change the positions of the header and "Setup" word to be visually attractive.
When Advanced Installer prompts you to synchronize the other controls, you agree to sync the other controls, which is expected.
When you add a new dialog to the project, the controls of that dialog are not in the same position as the other dialogs you changed.

I believe this is because the positions are read from the template theme, instead of being read from the other similar components of the other dialogs.
You can manually reposition the fields of the new dialog, but takes some time and carefulness to do so.


I think it would be a nice improvement when implementing new dialogs in existing projects.

Thanks!

Re: Fields positions in Dialogs doesn't apply to new dialog

Hello,

I have tested this and I can indeed confirm the described behavior.

I have now added this improvement on our TODO list and hopefully this will be added in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Best regards,
