Two Load-Out Manager requests

johndallman · 10-29-2010, 02:03 PM

I'm using load-out manager fairly hard, with one character having 153 items being tracked. It's a fairly realistic WWII campaign, and I find the detail evocative. Obviously, all this stuff isn't and can't be carried at once, There's a basic load-out, and a lot of add-on modules as separate load-outs, for different weapons and so on.

The small thing I'd like is the ability to re-name load-outs. They start out called things like "go-bag", and before you've finished adding all the tools, explosives, Group Basics, and so on, it doesn't fit in one bag any more. I don't want to start a new load-out because I'm likely to make a mistake in moving 50 items from the old to the new load-out. Which brings me to the second request:

If you want to have several load-outs with overlapping contents, the current user interface struggles a bit. A more powerful interface would be a grid of checkboxes, with items listed in the first column, and one subsequent column for each load-out. That would make it easy to see what's in which load-out, and to add or remove items from several load-outs quickly.

Thanks for this program, by the way.
