Difficulty of positioning of the images using widgets

First, I will start by saying that I really, really, really want to love this program and work with it regularly. I've been an evangelist for her and love the whole proposition that a design for the Internet much less expensive and much more intuitive. So thanks, Adobe for doing things in the right direction.

That said, I think Muse is always incredibly full of bugs, and working with her is far from being as smooth as it should be now that users are required to pay a monthly fee. I'm still on the fence about whether to take the plunge at the end of the 30 day trial. (Resolution of this case will go a long way to convince me.)

Widgets have proven one of the tools more difficult to manage in the arsenal of the Muse, which is what brings me here tonight. The problem I have is the scaling and positioning of the images using the slide show - and have it stay like that.

I am able to move the image of Heroes (largest) then it is placed and scaled properly, but I can only do this with a single image at a time. As soon as I'll do to evolve a second hero image to match the first one returns to the default size and the introduction and the second is correct.

As shown in the first selection of the screen, the image of hero on the right is sized correctly to align with the top and bottom of the thumbnail grid.

But it will happen only this trick once. All other images of Heroes change size, move to the Center or the float everywhere where they wish, as shown below.

It is a model that is extremely frustrating, and if cannot be resolved, I'll have to give up Muse as the solution to this design problem.

Help, please! (Thank you.)



OK, I finally diagnosed the problem, the solution was not very intuitive. In fact, I realized only the answer when I went on the site for export as HTML.

Because the images of Heroes was put across the slightly larger that the suggested size, I discovered that if you go to the assets Panel and right click on the title of the image (which has a small plus sign next to it to indicate the difference in size), it invites you to "import more large size of the image" (maybe this isn't the precise language (, but it is an option that sounds almost exactly like that).

Once you do this for each image, they are no longer returned to the small size or random placement. They're going where they are supposed to and they seem to stay there.

So I'm happy to announce, case closed.
