options request : post your ideas

I'll ask later. :hihi:

Id love DVTs in standalone V2 as well.

Also in the BBx windows in V8 S&T, Id like to be able to select multiple objects using either CTRL or SHFT like you can in windows.

You can for the green and yellow sections (PIDs), just not the blue section (Menu items).

You can do this w/EE when copying the config files too. ;)

Guess I should have specified Id like it for the blue PID Menu Items section...forgot it was in the other 2 already.:fluffy: Mostly for removing multiple controllers included in the default Options.txt.

I thought you might have meant that.

It's difficult to do due to the PID list being dependant on which blue item is selected. If multiple are selected I'd have to blank out the PID list. Then I'd have to handle all the options that operate on the blue items like, properties so that all selected items are updated. What happens if you've got 5 highlighted and you select properties and set the hot key to F1? Which one gets it? Lots of problems that I'm not ready to work on just yet :)

To clear multiple entries simultaneously, you can un-check the check boxes and select "clear all unchecked menu items" (the button that looks like a "no entry" symbol just to the right of the menu list).

Makes sense, having to handle all of those scenarios would be tricky.

I understand clearing the checkboxes deletes the entries, I just want to select multiple entries to deselect the checkboxes so I dont have to individually select each checkbox. If its a lot of work then dont worry about it, just something to think about.

When a pidlist is copied/pasted (blue section), the operation copies the pids ok but fails to copy custom units and alarms (green section).

I'd like an option to alter the default naming profile for the tune files. The default of increasing a file count by "1" more that the last file name is OK, but I'd like to have a date/time stamp instead of a sequence number. This would help a huge amount now that BBF is running as it would allow a better idea of the what the tune files are.

To give an example, I did a bit of dynamics testing at lunch time today and flashed in maybe 5 tunes. Then went back to work and at afternoon tea, I did a new tune to flash in and test on the trip home. I flashed it in via BBF, but realised soon after starting that it wasn't the latest tune. I had forgotten to save the tune to the SD card, but didn't realise this as I'd forgotton the file number. A date time stamp like mmddhhmm.ctd would be good, adding in a 4 digit year would be perfect ( but might cause issues with the length ).
