Couple more thoughts:

I do have to agree that many metal window tiled over each other certainly wouldn't look the best. I hadn't considered many windows being open at once. And I think adding an easier way to access the more minor editors (PICT, RLE, STR#, etc) would definetely be a welcome addition.

One other thing I wanted to point out that doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet is adding probability totals like that in NovaTools to Fleets and in the future, Systems; instead of just warning you that the probability doesn't add up to 100%. It's definetly helpful to have your total right there, staring at you.

Hello all. Just mentioning the fact that 0.1.5d has been sent to all the Alpha Testers. It contains numerous bug/interface fixes and is a wholly improved product. It has no new editors, but is a more stable version and should be used if undertaking operational testing.

Cheers!

Cool. I still haven't had the oppertunity to play with it too much. Most of my time has been taken up doing my college algebra, and when I finish it I'm hardly in the mood to play with numbers more in my plugin ^_^;

However, I'm gonna make a point of trying to break... I mean... make a point of trying to test it more soon.

Regarding the creation of new editors though... if you get it even half as stable as the gov/fleet/dude editors were in the first version you sent out, feel free to pass it along, as that's more than stable enough for us testers. It also may help reveal what sort of general features would be helpful. Of course, I don't know if doing that sort of thing would make bugfixes harder for you or not, as I have no coding experience.

Either way though, certainly don't worry about it occasionally crashing on us or messing some resources/plugin up, as I'm sure most of us back up stuff before we run the alpha-stage editor on it ^_^. Just think of us as your own personal crash-test dummies. Show no mercy!
