I updated to BI 5.5 x x now i can no longer drag a camera into a larger window like you could before the update.

It seems they are all locked unless you edit layout.

Suggestions?

That is the new update and is intended to be that way. Lots of threads about it.

Rollback if you need that feature

Use edit layout? That's why it's called edit layout. In all seriousness, it can be done, but move carefully an document each move because the results can be pretty unexpected so being able to go back and try again is important.

I can still drag and drop but now it requires multiple steps.

Just send an email to support from the BI console prompts and your regular email. I wasn't very happy with it either but it does sort of grow on you like a fungus, I guess. What I really don't like is the result in UI3 on my laptop as a result of this change, but it is what it is.

I like to drag a small window into a larger one if i see something of interest. Now to do so i have to go into edit layout then size the window i just moved.

Just arrange them the way you normally would. When you want a larger view of one camera just double click on it. That still works the same way.

That is one way to do it i guess........still can't believe they took that away.

Staying with a old version has it's on issues with security.

The new system, to me, seems overly complex for what should be a fairly simple task. I don't write code or programs so I may be totally wrong about that.

I agree. Are others letting BI know they are not happy about it on there forums?

I haven't contacted BI support about it. Given the amount of work that probably was involved in producing this "dynamic" layout I don't think it would do any goo o hassle them about it.
