With the recent expansion/patch and the separation of the bc's in different ship groups it was necessary to fix all saved overview settings. After being upset, I actually managed to think about this "problem" and here is my solution.

Would it be possible to make the overview settings (saved filter/tabs and other settings) work like the fitting manager?
What I mean is having a list of saved filter which you can click and then see in a separate window which groups are activated. Just like the fitting manager where you have your list of saved fittings and when you click on one you can see the modules etc...
Being able to change the name right on the spot, or just modify it without the need to use the exact name twice (in case you don’t want multiple saved filters) would be nice.
And please let us open the overview settings while being docked, it is so silly we need to undock in order to change the tabs and the filter. Would be much better if you could load your presaved pvp filter before you undock for example.
Right now we have these unnecessary menus with the sub-menus.

My english isn't that good but i hope you get the idea.

the overview settings must be accessible more quickly meaning they should be accessed without a right click ( ov settings button) also they should be redesigned with colour coding and other visually clarifying elements so that one can find individual points more quickly.

It is quite confusing to have a name for a tab, then load an overview profile that has different name. At first I though that nothing gets loaded / saved, because the names are different. In fact, it is even more confusing, because you can load a bracket profile too. And then the tab, overview profile, and bracket profile can have different name and where is bracket profile name mentioned anyway? Also "profiles" vs "views"... Too many moving parts for such a simple functionality.

Ok, now this should be fixed so, that I can create overviews and bracketviews and then attach them to tabs that can also be created, saved, and loaded.

Functions:

[Manage views]
- Window where is list of views and buttons: *New* *Edit* *Rename* *Delete* *Copy*
- Guide that tells what views, overviews, and bracketviews are and what they are used for
- In Edit-mode you can add / remove stuff from the view and give a name. Save-button saves the view and doesn't ask for a name, because the name is already given in Name-field

[Manage tabs]
- Window where is a list of tabs and buttons: *New* *Edit* *Rename* *Delete* *Copy*
- Guide that tells what tabs are and what they are used for
- In Edit-mode you can set the Overview and Bracketview of the tab and give a name. Save-button saves the tab and doesn't ask for a name, because the name is already given in Name-field

[Overview]
- In overview you can open and close tabs that exist

And change the name of bracketview to spaceview, so that it is easier to associate the view to space. I mean, there are brackets also in the overview, so it is confusing otherwise. And the "bracketview" also shows / hides the actual objects in space, not only the brackets...
