A query on the Show/Hide list blocks

I've seen the Show/Hide list blocks requested a lot, but I've never seen any of the requests wrapped up. Are they going to be in the next release of Scratch, or is there a reason why they won't be made?

Re: A query on the Show/Hide list blocks

Since there are show and hide blocks for variables, there will probably be ones for lists someday. I don't know why the Scratch Team didn't add it in 1.4, but maybe in 1.5...

Or 1.4.1.  Technically, it should have been in 1.3 or 1.3.1 (right after they added the lists).

('hide list %L         -       hidelist:)
('show list %L         -      showlist:)

They added the lists in 1.3, but why didn't they add it in 1.3.1? It's weird... hope it comes soon. Maybe in 1.4.1, like you said...

Re: A query on the Show/Hide list blocks

This isn't supposed to be an argument on Scratch versions. I'd just like to know why the blocks aren't there, so the word can be spread and it can be definite. (I'm actually not that interested in the blocks... but they're good ones.)

That only creates the blocks...You have to define them also.

Re: A query on the Show/Hide list blocks

Take a look at this: hide/show lists

Re: A query on the Show/Hide list blocks

1.4 is the main release with the features. 1.4.1 just fixes some major bugs in 1.4. They won't add new features in 1.4.1.


Hai.

Good point... though in 1.3.1 they added four languages.

Re: A query on the Show/Hide list blocks

I don't think languages are features. I mean like new blocks.

I know... but languages are something, aren't they?

Re: A query on the Show/Hide list blocks

I don't think that upgrades to another block would be considered a new feature.

Could the Scratch Team please just reply and settle the issue?  That was the main point of this topic.

Scratch Team, would you mind posting an explanation here?

Re: A query on the Show/Hide list blocks

I am bumping this up. Why? Because we haven't got an answer from you! Please Scratch Team, answer. Everyone wants this.
