Edit HUD Profiles: important Feature Requests

[Fox128]

First of all, I have to say I love it, props to the programers :)

But, ok, so I've played around a lot with the HUD editor today, and I've came across a few unpleasant things.

Here's all the things I came across and my ideas to improve the HUD editor:


- Marking multiple Items:
This is a must. I already know, you can mark multiplay items by holding ctrl (shift seems to do the same). But you have to click EVERY single one which is very time consuming for bigger stuff. Ideas:
-- STRG+A should mark EVERY item for global font editing purposes etc
-- holding STRG and clicking should also be used to UNMARK items again, which were marked (would be useful if you mark something by accident and even more useful in combination with the STRG+A thing)
-- holding SHIFT should bring up a rectangle that marks every item within (like in Windows windows).
--- if this holding shift thing is to hard to program, please at least include something like: marking one item by holding shift and then marking another item with shift: marks all items within the rectangle which the two items are the corner of!
-- allow dragging/dropping multiple items or at least single rows would also be very very nice and useful!

--> All of these would be so nice, really! Think about it ;)

(you could also include global font-editing at least, but the STRG+A thing would accomplish the same and it'd be better anyway)



- Undo:
A simple option to undo your last step(s) (dragging/deleting of items) would be very appreciated. You don't even have to make a button for it, just enable STRG+Z at least, please!


- Export/Import/duplicating GROUPS (pop-ups):
This would be absolutely awesome if you want to reuse your pop-ups in other existing profiles.
Also if you figure your pop-up window gets to big/overloaded by stats and want to seperate it into two pop-up pieces, this way you could just dublicate them and delete the unneeded parts, instead of redoing all the work.



- Dragging/dropping single items needs some fixing:
E.g. it seems to be absolutely impossible to place items where I want sometimes (to the very left of a row for example). I mean then I always need to take 2 or 3 steps instead of 1 to get what I want, which is kind of uncool.


- Copy&Paste:
It'd be nice if you could just copypaste items with their settings, like with CTRL+C and CTRL+V etc.


- Other minor fix that should be made:
-grid: Columns get a little out of alignment if you use different fonts/styles/bold text for rows. This seems to occur only, when you use seperators. The problem might be, that the seperators adopt to fontstyles left to them e.g. bold text. This should get fixed because it can make things look really ugly. It'd also be nice if you could actually set colors for the sepretaors and if they'd actually take on the background color of the text beneath, for aesthetic reasons...



- minor random bug?:
Style is alsays set to "Swiss" as default. Now if I change that to "default", it jumps back to "Swiss". So far so good. The interesting thing is, this action actually changes the font style to some different style (I don't know which one it is, but this works everytime). Also undoing this seems to be not so easy, If I try to change it back to the "original" Swiss style, nothing happens, the text stays the same (call it the "new" swiss style or whatever, I have no idea what this is)

Thank you for the detailed feedback - we really do appreciate it.

One method of multiple selection that may not be obvious: You can use the list of stats in the Group Items area to highlight. If you click on one thing then hold shift and click elsewhere everything in between will be highlighted. This makes it much easier to highlight all for example (click the first one hold shift, scroll to the bottom and click again).
