| #1CoarseDragonJul 30, 2009 16:18:12 | I would like to see a way to collapse a monster stat sheet while it in in the Holding Pen. I also hope you add drag-n-drop to the Holding Pen even if the Holding Pen is not opened, i.e., drag the monster to the Holding Pen icon on the top of the application window. |
| #2myt3m0w53Jul 30, 2009 16:25:04 | yes a drag and drop feature is most definitely needed, one that works from the left and the right into the middle as well... left- monster stats right- other monster's abilities middle- your work area this would speed up the process a lot |
| #3petrosJul 30, 2009 21:22:29 | I think I'm missing something -- is it possible to get a monster back out of the holding pen for further editing? I've tried all the obvious things -- right-clicking, double-clicking, dragging to the editing area, and nothing seems to work. I can drag powers from the holding pen to the monster-editing area, but that seems to be it. Ideally, I'd like to be able to throw a group of monsters in the holding pen, then edit them later to make them match up, level and flavor-wise (for instance, making sure the leader of a horde is higher-level than his followers, even if he's based on a lower-level monster, or handing out copies of some power as a sort of racial trait). As it is, I could duplicate what I'm suggesting by saving any monster I find interesting as a custom monster, then using the filters to display only custom monsters and tweaking from there. Or I could filter by the name of a monster in the holding pen to find a copy I can edit, and then re-make any changes I made to the first copy of that monster. Both of this methods seem awkward compared to just being able to pull monsters back out of the holding pen, though. Even so, fantastic program! I was just starting a new campaign, and this is going to make customizing it easy and fun! |
| #4CailteJul 31, 2009 2:58:41 | Yup the holding pen seems to be obtuse in its use. Like the OP I would like to be able to close the monsters in it so only the "Heading" block is visible - maybe just the Name and type. I'd also like to be able to click on a monster in the holding pen and get the information to appear in the middle column. Oh and I also find the use of (-) to close/remove something confusing (-) to me is minimise, (x) is close/remove - to many years using Windows apps. |
