These may be discussed elsewhere, but I can't seem to find them so:
1. Can we add a way to do a "save realm" or "save realm and exit" within the menu system of RW when it is open? It is non-intuitive and clunky to have to hit the 'X' button to close it, then be presented with the "Exit wihout sync" or "Go to Realms List" window. When I first started using the software, this confused the heck out of me until I clicked through to the "Go to Realms List" window. Sometimes I just want to hit a button and know it will sync and close. Every other piece of Windows software I have ever used has some sort of a "file" menu where you can save, save-as, etc. Having to x-out in order to get to the Launcher/Realm management screen is clunky. 2. If the Realm Works Launcher window is open, it needs to have a "minimize" button. Why does it have to float on the screen with no way to minimize it? I often have this open so I can click back through to a realm quickly without having to log-in all over again (which can take several seconds), but the window is always floating there on the screen. I thought the basic "bar-square-X" (minimize, maximize, close) was sort of a standard thing built into windows. 3. Is there now, or will there ever be, any way to have more than one instance of RW open at a time? Quite frankly, the tab system is not very friendly for having both the Mechanics Reference and the World Almanac open at the same time. I find I don't even use any of the reference material I build in just because I lose track of my tabs, or get too many tabs open and the program crashes. If I could have two separate windows (on two screens), one running my game content in the Almanac, and one with the mechanics reference open, my life would be MUCH easier. As it is, I just pull open a pdf, or google drive, or website, in another window (or soon, DnD beyond) so that I can find references without opening a bunch of RW tabs, which quickly outgrows the RW screen real estate or ability to handle without crashing. overall I love what RW offers and does, but there are a number of frustrating issues like this that make it feel clunky and outdated, like '90's vintage software. |
