Thanks @jacque but no.
The card settings you use wrecks the layout od the other controls on the card.
I figured that would happen. I tried to do the same thing with a group but haven't succeeded yet.
Interestingly though I see you have a letter version of the MP than I.
Another unannounced update to the bundle.
I hoped you wouldn't notice. Panos gave me an in-progress version to try but it hasn't been released yet.
Also it took me a while to discover how to select a CARD for the MP.
control-click on the card and select "project browser", makes sense.
Only actually selecting the card in the project browser does not get reflected in the MP.
Another bug to report.
I had the same problem and thought there was a shortcut that everyone but me knew about. I felt kind of stupid. Panos told me that double-clicking the card selects it. I have no idea if that's a common thing or not, but it does work. At any rate, it seems to be a documentation omission more than a bug.

There is at least one other layout option that's been omitted from the current release. Panos is still working on the MP.
