Here are some notes on the new editor in it's current state and what I think could be adjusted or moved for further enhancement. Keep in mind that I understand that you are only halfway done with it (at least on the version that I have) and I know that you still have many things to do. So, I figure you probably already have some of this in mind to do while working on it, but maybe some of the notes will help:
1. The Deities part could probably be moved to the Race/Class area, since I think that is probably where it fits best as far as organizing it goes.
2. Slots could either go at the top between Icon and Color, or if you made the fonts smaller on the race/class section to shrink that part up a bit, you might be able to make enough room to do a similar check box section (with select all) for slots that includes all 20 slots in it. I didn't realize when I made the photoshop image that I left slots out lol.
3. The select all buttons for race/class currently do an inverse select instead of actually selecting all. This should work ok, but I thought you might want to know in case that wasn't intended.
4. The IDFile could probably be moved to the first section under Color and Icon.
5. If possible, it might be nice to have a Copy Item button like you have on the Line Editor window.
6. You could make the input fields for Recommended Level (and the other req/rec fields) as well as the Accuracy/Avoidance/etc fields. This would mainly be so that the sections don't overlap the row to the right of them. None of those would need very long fields for input anyway.
7. Icon could use an input field unless you plan to make a popup to select an icon from your viewer or something.
That is all I have for now. But as long as you are interested, I will be glad to give more feedback
I really like how you set the pull downs so that you can either select one of the pull down options or actually type anything you wish in that field. Very nice!
There are a ton of fields, and keeping them organized to make editing as clear as possible is one of the goals I had in mind for this. For the most part, you have everything right on, and I don't want to sound like I am trying to control how it is done because ultimately the decisions are all up to you. But, if you wanted more feedback, now you got some
I think this is going to be amazing when it is complete. I am surprised with how complete you already have it! Can't thank you enough for what you do for us, GeorgeS!
