Hi all

A few weeks ago I wrote a devblog, and in the comments thread for it people asked for the ability to drag characters to name field when creating private contracts and have the name added there. I thought that was a good idea, and have implemented it.
What I was hoping you could help me with, is to list all the textfields where you think this should happen.

The fields I have already changed are the following
  • "private" field when creating contracts
  • field in the "auditing" tab in the corp window
  • searching for invitees for an calender even
  • member field in the transaction tab of corp wallet
(this had already been implemented in the contract search

I did the same for item types, so you can drop them in these fields
  • corp/personal asset search field
  • transaction fields in personal and corp wallet
  • item exchange field in contracts


Thanks a bunch P

Drag and drop ammunition or modules from your HUD to chat and market? I'm not sure how practical that is for loaded modules though, you'd have to have some way of choosing whether you wanted to drag the module or the charge...

That's actually possible now.

But right now I'm focusing more on finding those one line fields (we call them singlelineditfieldsP) where you should be able to drag either a character or a type but can't.

But thanks for your suggestions though Smile

Can links be dragged from one chat to another? Because that seems like it would be useful.

Also, how about if dragging a fleet broadcast into chat created a link with the same right-click options as if you right-clicked on the broadcast?

Ummmmmmmm....
nope I'm out.

Skills from your skill book. I get tried of looking for them in the market to link to new characters in help.

Long shot though Items from overview.

* Character -> Locator agent query dialog please :D
* Drag from Show Info > Variations tab to chat
* Drag items from LP store window to wherever
* Item entries in Show Info window don't have View Market details, e.g. Show Info on Nidhoggur > Attributes > Jump Drive Fuel Need > Hydrogen Isotopes
* Sort of out of scope (sorry!) but Channel Configuration, would be nice to be able to right click > Show Info on people in the tab lists there

Not sure if you can do this, but could you maybe click and drag your current ship fitting from your capacitor to any chat field/email? I'm at work so I actually haven't attempted to see if this can already be done.

Nope! Dragging your capacitor moves your HUD left/right across your screen.

You are so right, I remember that now. I'd switch em up. Shift+Click to drag HUD, click drag for fitting.

This may not be a text line, but right now if you drag too much stuff into an open cargohold window, a window pops up letting you select how much of that stuff to move in. If you drag too much stuff onto a ship in the ships window, it just errors. Worse, if you shift-drag that stuff onto a ship, it just errors, even though shift-drag is supposed to give you the opportunity to split a pile.

It's a very small thing, and a low priority in any sane development timeline, but it would make me happy.

Mainly some wspace pain points I've noticed.

First thing that comes to mind is scanning. I'd like to be able to drag/drop into market or right click ships in the dscan/scanner so I can determine what type of ship I'm up against. Experience really speaks for itself, but this may help new players. One of the newer members in my corp asked me what a Drake was the other day, so yeah... newbie help. Might also be beneficial to be able to drag and drop ships scanned out with probes, too.

Also, can we drag and drop players from the overview into chat fields or email? This is a wspace thing, since there is no player list in local to work off of, but maybe I'm watching invaders from a cloaked position and have a bead on them. Again, I never thought to try until you asked and I'm at work so I can't test it. If we cannot do this currently, this would be an interesting thing to implement.

Would be nice to be able to drag a system name into a bookmark. For an example of use, "WH to _______"

I'd like to be able to drag the name of ANYTHING you're looking at an info window on (alliance, character, item, system, station...if it has an info page that can be linked, I should be able to link it from that info page).

On a related UI note, context menus:

"search assets" for items.

Right click > search contracts on items IN a contract. Right now if i'm looking at a contract with multiple faction modules in it, I have to do quite a bit of work to determine if it's a fair market value.

This would have the added benefit of newer players learning what locator agents are BEFORE a griefer follows them unerringly across empire space. (yep, that happened to me, I had no idea how he always knew where I was).

Also, please give us the meta level in the variations tab. I hate having to open the comparison window and enable the meta level option just to figure out which module I want to use.

I pretty sure that after last changes / posts / promises a lot of people will wait and wag their tail like dog when you post anything on that forum :p
I will for sure :p



  • Mowing Journal -> Agent -> Missions to the chat (few of my members can do that right now, but not all - its bugged?)

  • Skills from skill queue -> chat
  • Skills from character sheet -> chat
  • Implants from character sheet -> chat (view market details under rmb would be nice too)
  • Corporation -> Members List -> drag players onto chat (also would love to see "set destination" submenu option there)


Nothing more comes to my mind now....


BTW. Did I said that I love you for dblclick on market order in wallet? ^.^" If not: I Love U
How about shift+click for "modify Order"?

The major RSI cause is the LP store, if you want to redeem an item in bulk you have a total clickfest. A text box like on the da\tacores or market buy window would be much appreciated.

If you could also drag the fittings for ships you aren't currently in, if the client could translate the 'view contents' into the ship fitting the same as your current ship, that would be of use.

Ad the Mac way, that picking one or shift klicking 2 or more items in a window behind what U do, is NOT bringing it to enoying front.

FROM OVERVIEW TO CHAT

Overview, name of character -> to chat window or watch list if in fleet... it would make, making watch list even easier...
it could make "target calling" from overview (other than broadcast) be an alternative... or what ever

Possibly make it so you have to hold some a shortcut key before you can drag and drop from the overview or it might mess up some situations for people

EDIT: While we are at it, make an option inside the overview settings to toggle off "Lock overview when mouseover"... regardless of how proud you were of that "forced" function... it was a function we already had before by holding down CTRL which is what we use when locking targets anyway...

it's easier to select new targets on the overview when it's not "locked" example... just shot a guy in his ship, and his pod comes out... the ship is still showing because the overview is locked and the pod shows up at a new spot on the overview instead of replacing the spot where the ship was... or when all the ships are leaving your overview because they are warping away, but you are desperately trying to catch something before it warps... the ships that already left the overview are still showing... making it harder to click something that hasn't... THAT IS WHY IT SHOULD BE OPTIONAL!!!
