New Mac GSPro User! I miss PC version's actor instance's width, height, x & y position input fields

Hi I recently purchased my first Mac ever for the sole purpose of using Gamesalad Pro to publish independent games. So I'm new here, hello everyone! To my surprise I realized that the Free PC Version I had been learning to use Gamesalad on was far superior to the Pro Mac Version in a couple vital areas. The most important of which, in my humble opinion, is the PC Version's actor sizing and positioning input fields on the bar at the top right corner of the scene window. Man was that a handy feature that made building game scenes with precision a breeze!

I've been reading a lot of the posts about Gamesalad's instability with Yosemite, many issues I've also experienced, but I won't reiterate those. I used to work at a game company as an animator in the late 90's and early 00's so I know that further complaining won't help the programmers get those fixes done any sooner. Let's just say I look forward to a new stable Mac version.

I must request, though, that you consider adding the handy actor re-sizing and placement input fields to the Mac Version's scene window. Pretty please?? I'm building a platformer with many levels and double-clicking actor instances to access an instance's width, height, x and y position and then back out to the working scene to click on the next actor instance to position becomes soooo time consuming. I've literally gone from constructing a full platformer game level a day to one a week since I've switched over to the Gamesalad Pro (Mac Version).

Thank you for your time.

PS: The ability to import/export actors from one project to another would be infinitely useful. Maybe that functionality already exists and I just missed it??
