Item Editor Suggestion

[trevius]

Ok, so I have an idea for a large revamp on the single item edit portion of GeorgeS' Item Editor. I hope you don't have a problem with me making this suggestion. I think your tools are all amazing. I was trying to think of a way to improve the editing of single items, and this is what I came up with to replace the window that opens with you click the "Edit Item" button:



I know it would mean a complete rewrite of that part of the tool. And I am sure that would take a while. The way it works now is good, but I think it would be a bit better if it was setup where you could view all of the information on an item at once. The screen is very packed (I made this in photoshop quickly), but it gets all of the information in there. I think it would look much better if the fields were all aligned on the right side of each column. I also think that slightly changing the font color for each section would help with breaking it up a bit to be easier to read and find what you are looking for.

I did a complete organization of the item fields so that they are all grouped into sections relating together (as apposed to having them placed randomly).

Here is the organized list of every field in the Items table with notes:

Name - (Field Name) #Mousover Notes %%Pull Down Select Option    //If Name is the same as Field Name, then there are no Parenthesis

Also note that I wanted to have Deities listed on the main page, but I ran out of room. They are used rarely enough that they could probably go on the Misc page/window.

Let me know if you have any questions or other suggestions on this. Or, if this is something that you don't want to do for the tool. I understand that this would be a fairly major undertaking, and wouldn't blame you. Like I said, your tool is already great as it is.

[moydock]

This would be pretty cool. I think you could get rid of some of the less used ones though to get rid of the clutter.

[ChaosSlayer]

well if plan to have everything on one page, don't forget haste and deities. (you could have TABS on the top and swith betwen section which would hold related things)

also, if George goes along with this I would STRONGLY recomend that he does not scrap the current editor view, but rather have an "alternative view" button, so people can swith to which ever form is easier for them to work with

[trevius]

Haste is already on there and I already made a note about deities not being on the main screen.

I do think it would be nice if there was a way to separate some of the sections without making it require too many clicks. The idea is to minimize having to scroll around, open other windows, and the least clicks possible to make changing items as quick as possible.

Most of the fields that are rarely (or never) used could get moved to another page. But, it would be nice to have as many as possible all in 1 screen.

[GeorgeS]

Wow - I must have missed this post. That's a pretty neat way of showing all the necessary fields!

I can do that in an upcomming version, but I will keep the current single edit one alive for now.

You'de be amazed how many bugs I can introduce with fast changes.
I'll see what I can do.

aya, if you do this- do not scrap the current view - simply make a DIFFIRENT layout button to open alternative window so we chose between the layouts
