Integration / implementation perhaps?

Probably wouldn't happen as Hero Lab is written in a different language.

Do you mean you just want to see everything you have in any given stock file? Just don't put anything in the search field, hit search/enter and it'll pull down everything in all your stock files in the search folder. You can then sort by clicking on the table headers and scroll down to the stock you want to inspect.

Added in a small update for this. Now if you double click on a table row it'll bring up that creature's statblock. Should make this a little more useful for managing a collection of stock and por files.

I think this is really cool, nice job Dracones!

Yea same here.

@Dracones do you mind if I setup a link to your site from the d20pfsrd HL repository site. That way it gets more exposure and won't just get buried in the forums here.

No I don't mind. Go ahead.

I am aware of this, however I was just thinking textually aloud and suggesting / nudging for an implementation of this kind of "search / viewer" in a similar way that the PDF printer is required by HL to review created portfolios once.

I presumed that a port / compile of a python app would be possible. If I recall correctly TCLkit creates embedded python executables that run independently.

Maybe the lone wolf devs could cast a future development eye over this functionality?

OK, this is pure awesomesauce now. I'm even using it to quickly find stats to port into MT without even needing to open HL now. It's WAY faster than getting the statblock from within HL, even if HL is open already!

Simple request? Can you allow ctrl+a to select all on the statblock window? And/or put a easy "Copy to Clipboard" button at the top?

PS I love some simplicity of it and how quick it is, and liking the .exe version to

Hmmm...I think I'm missing something obvious. I can navigate to a folder without any trouble, but when I enter the search name (something obvious which I know is there, such as "goblin") and click "Search", it just hangs. It looks like it's processing - the "search" button is greyed out, etc, but after about 15 minutes, there's still nothing.

Wondering what I'm doing wrong...
