Suggestions

I keep asking for this, and I think I have been told it is on the list, but
it still hasn't happened, and it doesn't seem like it would be all that
hard to do at all: I wish each game system would keep track of its own last
deck directory. Actually, as I type this, I had another idea. When
opening a deck, automatically load (or have a set-able option to do so),
put [<gamesystem>]* in the file name (so Magic the gathering would have
[magic]* initially). This filter all the decks for other game systems out
(assuming they were created with the standard prefix, which is why I am
suggesting it is a set-able option).

I would like to see the various dialog boxes (especially the one that shows
card images) to be modeless.

The image view in the test hand draw-er would also be cool but not a big
priority with me.

I'm pretty sure this is on the list of things to do, it just hasn't taken
precedence over anything yet - a lot of people, such as yourself, would
like this change, but other people probably would not. And that means
making it a configurable setting, which is more work, etc. It's there, but
so far other things have beaten it onto the feature list.

Good thinking. You can already use the 'Add Game Prefix When Saving Decks'
option to add this prefix to decks when you save them; we'll see if we can
make it add the prefix when loading decks, too.

This would be a *lot* of work. May I ask why?

We'll put this on the list of things to do.

Thanks,

What mainly prompted this was I wanted to be able to have card images up
and be able to click on cards in the deck/inventory to see the picture
quickly. If the info boxes at the bottom could be made to show the pics,
that would be cool also.

The Ctrl-D shortcut is your friend

I don't think that would work very well; the info windows are quite short
and quite wide, unlike virtually all the card / model images out there. If
they were shown, they'd either be so small they'd be unreadable, or cut off
1/3 of the way down.

Right now there is too much moving the mouse around as Ctrl-D doesn't close
again, so I have to select card, Ctrl-D, move to finish button, close,
selected next card, etc. If at least Ctrl--D closed again, I wouldn't have
to move the mouse around so much.

You can dismiss the dialog with 'esc' or 'enter' or even 'space', so adding
Ctrl-D wouldn't really be that much of an improvement (and we'd have to do
the same thing in several other places for consistency). Is using
esc/enter/space that much of a difference?

Thanks,

It requires me to move my hand. I don't know about other people, but I
find when I am trying to look at a bunch
of stuff quickly, all that extra motion really disrupts the flow of what I
am doing.
