Suggestions for 3.0 to feel like 2.0.

PvZGW_PRO

Hi! I just want to suggest some improvements to 3.0 so those old scratchers that have been here since 2.0 will feel good and not frustrated.
So first of all, I want to talk about the sounds. The sound improvement is great, but I really miss the sound features from 2.0. You can highlight sounds and copy and paste it. Plus you can copy and paste the sounds into another type of sound! Also, for the loudness of the sound, there needs to be a limit. Not too high, but not too low either.
Now, I want to talk about the positioning of the coding screen. Instead of having the codes on the left side, can you put it on the right side. I got so used to looking at the left for my project, now I'm confused. Please add that feature. Also, the coding area is a little bit glitchy. Codes appear at the bottom right rather than in the top left.
That's all I have for now! PvZ out!

Regarding the sound editor, the Scratch Team said they were working on it.

The sound editor should have the same editing capabilities as it did in 2.0: We realize that the sound editing capabilities are important to you, and it is a priority for us to include this again. It may take us some time to change this, so your patience is greatly appreciated.

Concerning the positioning of the stage and the option for it to be on the right or on the left, I also heard the ST mentioned it. In fact, in 1.4, the stage was also on the right. Serious studies show that most people are comfortable with the stage on the right rather than on the left. Anyway, I don't think it's really that hard to get used to it. For a few months, I already have been used to having the stage on the right and I'm rather comfy with it.

I joined with 2.0, but I am now SERIOUSLY used to looking on the left for code. You will get used to it.

Scratch 3.0 may be different from what we're used to in Scratch 2.0, but everyone will get used to it eventually. I saw someone comment that during the transition from Scratch 1.4 to Scratch 2.0, everyone HATED Scratch 2.0 at first. We may not like change, but it comes anyway. We just need to learn how to accept it and live with it.

Why are people still complaining about 3.0? I mean, I've been here for around three years and I got used to 3.0 in about two weeks. As NilsTheBest pointed out, the Scratch Team is already working on the sound editor, so you don't need to worry about that. But they changed the positioning of the screen for a reason: For people starting out with Scratch, they found that it was easier for them to use when the code area was positioned on the left. So although you may not like it, it's better for Scratch anyway.

I've since moved on from Scratch, and now I'm making games in the Godot Engine, music in LMMS, art in Photoshop, and other various things that aren't involving this website anymore. Thanks to Scratch for getting me interested in this stuff!

I heard somewhere that they were seriously considering adding the option to swap the windows so that the preview would be on the left. I think that was in Rejected Suggestions?

Infrequently active.

It feels weird to see how far we've come. I hope you're well, wherever you are!

Correct — last I checked, we are considering options to switch the side of the stage, change the block size, and add a dark mode. I'm not sure what the current status is on any of those, however.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

Because there are a lot more users using Scratch during the 2.0 -> 3.0 transition than there were during the 1.4 -> 2.0 transition, so there's a lot more people that can complain about a major change, and I think a lot of people grew attached to Scratch 2's editor.
I've been using the Scratch 3 editor now to make a certain project and I prefer using it over the Scratch 2 editor now, though I am patiently waiting for some missing features to come back, along with other new features
