M&M 3rd ed. Feature Request - Moving powers in and out of arrays/devices/etc.

Sometimes I decide to rearrange powers into arrays or remove them from devices, etc. It's kind of a pain because I basically have to rebuild the exact same power in/out of the device. It'd be much more handy if I could drag and drop the power elsewhere in the power hierarchy.
 
This has actually been requested a lot, and from what I understand would require some very fundamental changes to the way HeroLab works.

In other words, they know we want it, but they'd almost have to rebuild HL from scratch to do it.

JDRook is correct that it's been requested many times.

What's I've done as a "work around" is to name powers in this way "1) shock bolt, 2) wings of swift flight, 3) mystic barrier, etc., etc." Since the software sorts by numerical value before it looks at alphabetical, it doesn't matter what "name" comes after the 1) or 2).

So, when you want to rearrange things, simply change the number at beginning of the power's name and the software will resort things for you. :)

Hope that helps with what you are trying to do,

I think he's looking for for "move it out of this array and into this one" and the like than re-ordering them where they stand. Although the tip for the latter is elegant.

Thank you for the compliment. :)

I was keying off of the last five words in KakarisMaelstrom's final statement: "It'd be much more handy if I could drag and drop the power elsewhere in the power hierarchy." ;)
