General Editor Complaint - unique ID problem

mirtos · 11:13 PM

One general complaint I have is the "unique ID" issue of the editor. This could be improved to make adding new items much better. As a developer I get the need to come up with unique ids, but you should come up with a way to make it easier on users to do this.

Not sure what you mean, could you give a bit more detail?

If you go into the editor, under the Tools menu, it does allow you to specify an unique leading 2-3 character id.

Default is SLF, but for example when I am building RGG Spell Variants Vol 4, I set a unique id of SV4 so everything that I add has that after the leading character auto assigned by the editor, f for Feat, s for Spell, etc.

Does that help?
