ESB Feature Requests

[Ser Xav]

Cheeky future ESB feature request: could you implement a keystroke like Ctrl+T to invoke Test>Test in DSB? And, potentially have it close an existing DSB instance at the same time, if one is running?

Not sure if this is the right way to request things, and also, not sure you may even want to hear requests at this point!... if DSB/ESB development is not really what you want to do any longer. Can I drop requests here? Just let me know if not! Totally understand and apologies in advance if this is bad form. Many thanks.

Was wondering in addition to the above request:
- Can ESB implement a 'recently used files' on the File dropdown menu?
- Can ESB be set to open in the middle of the monitor? Right now mine appears towards top left, and I tend to then have to move it into a positon that suits my desktop arrangement / setup better.
- Or, can ESB remember the window size / extent / position, so when it loads, it retains previous extent?
- Can the Things/Objects/etc menu on the left be resized and retain it's revised width whilst docked? Currently it's width can be adjusted when it's floated, but loses it when docked.
- Could floating menus retain a position relative to the ESB window extent? Ie if the window is moved or resized, the floating menus follow it / retain position?
- Could the level number be displayed somewhere more prominently? Appreciate the coordinates have a number denoting level (1,24,32 etc)

And, thanks for all the amazing work with DSB

I've split these posts off to their own thread, which is how I'd prefer requests to be made. I don't mind hearing them but I'm not going to promise anything.

If there's a thread here for it then could I add requests for:

* a find an inst by ID number. At the moment I do a bunch of: find I need to know about inst #51342, load up the dungeon in a text editor and look up inst 51342 to get the coordinates, go back to ESB and go to those coordinates

* would it be difficult to make the Find Insts (by type) dialog non-modal?

All caveats wrt when and if anything might happen are noted. Thanks for all your work on DSB/ESB regardless of whether these tweaks ever happen.

Hmm. I was never able to get DSB to compile, but I should have another go with ESB 'cause that doesn't have the obnoxious sound libraries...
