Question - what should be enabled by default?

Question for everyone - should all sources be enabled by default?

When you start up Hero Lab, do you want to see absolutely everything in the data files - stuff from Arcane Power, Divine Power, Adventurer's Vault, etc? Then deselect the supplements you don't want to use?

Or do you want to start with only the core data visible, and choose to enable the sourcebooks that you use?

Currently Hero Lab does the latter, but apparently a lot of people aren't figuring out how to enable all the content they want to see, so I'm thinking about switching it to the "everything is enabled by default" style, and I'm interested in whether people think that would be a good or bad change.

Thanks!

I'm fine with whatever. I know how to set my own personal defaults (which are currently everything).

I'd say, "Yes." I usually go and select everything to start out with, anyway.

I generally prefer all active as well.

Thanks for the feedback - I'll enable them all for the next release.
