SR 5th ed. Some Feature Requests

[Kyuhunter]

Ok, after using chummer for some time and then switching to herolab and some time getting used to it I got some more or less minor but annoying complaints:
1) Why can't I copy stuff out of the supplements? I noticed when I wanted to create a capsule version of some toxins (1/5 of the price). It's kinda annoying to have to copy everything field by field..
2) Keeping track of individual expenses/income. For comparison: chummer notes every expense i take. I could do this via the Journal tab but then I don't have a possiblity to keep tracks of the sessions overall.
3) A session based note keeping possiblity. See point 2) why I don't use the Journal for this.
4) Dice rolling on clicking the dicepool.. I'm not sure if this is possible, but if it is, it is to hard to find.

While I like Hero Lab for creating a character, I find that in keeping one it could still be improved.

Journal actually does indeed do this. You have to add a new Journal Entry to have them tracked separately. Simply adding items to the journal without a new entry combines them.

[Kyuhunter]

I know that, but then I can't keep track of sessions easily. Sure, it's more of a comfort thing but I don't want to look for the date of every entry to find out what belongs together.

For Nuyen/Karma expenses a simple table would be much easier. And it also should add the stuff I buy automatically if you ask me.. thats not to hard to accomplish.

The running list of expenses is actually something that they've implemented recently on the Pathfinder side (if I remember correctly). They might be able to do something similar for purchases in Shadowrun.

Personally, I use the Journal to keep track of Session information, particularly since you can add notes and things to each entry. Generally, I don't use HeroLab to keep track of my day-to-day purchases and I usually calculate gear costs separately anyway, so I mostly just factor that in when I input the data for the Session.

I definitely agree that keeping track of what happened to your money and when is important, sometimes things might trigger a cost accidentally, or if you add gear and need to make corrections it does some wacky things sometimes. Without a history on the money it can be hard to tell if something happened that led to some sort of mistake...

[Kyuhunter]

Well that keeps the hopes up.
Seeing how I already have plenty of applications running when playing shadowrun (roll20, HL, PDFs, Discord, etc.) I would love it if Hero Lab could take over everything character related.

More note sections would be nice.

Also custom entries would be nice to cover that one off stuff.

Example I have a Fox shapeshifter PC and now that Vulnerability to Silver, Dual Nature, and Regeneration have been errataed in, I have no place to record that.

In the past, I've put that under the character description box. I think it is 'Personal' or 'Social', but it is wherever you upload your character portrait in.
