Either way, it makes picking up notes from a note bomber very time consuming, and putting them in an envelope is even worse!

Picking up many notes is time-consuming, yes. However, if you have them in your inventory, you can filter your inventory to just "Show Notes" and then there's a button at the bottom of the list to perform "Operations on multiple Notes". This will give you the list of held notes with checkboxes, to perform the same action (like putting in an envelope, dropping, etc) in one single click.

This makes me wonder now.... Could we add the filters to the Objects list easily, for the same sort of functionality?
[Show Notes] [Show Raws] [Show Tools] [Show machines] [Show All] or something similar?

I think this could be a bug, but maybe it is a suggestion. Currently spell check will not stay enabled for the event box in Firefox. I have to right click and enable it everytime. This is the only text box I have encountered that does not automatically get checked. This happens on all my PC's, so I guess it has something to do with the properties of the text box.

Can someone look into this as it would greatly improve the game for me as I am a horrible speller.

Thanks

If you use the Large box as opposed to the regular, it spell checks.

I'm surprised no one commented on the awesomeness of this suggestion?!

[Miri]

Simply awesome, isn't it?

How about the same categories as in inventory, maybe plus one for machines?

That certainly would make it infinitely easier for a thief to rob a town, in a fraction of the time...

Why? I don't understand this. How should having things nicely sorted in eye-pleasing and lag-free way should be of any more help for a thief than for other charries?

[Keegan Ingrassia]

Ah, I more meant having the "operations on multiple ___" option available for interacting with things in buildings and such.

As for the filter, it would be wonderful.

My mistake.

[Miri]

Then I agree for that, too

1. On the player page, in addition to lighting up characters with new events can we also have the number of new events displayed next to the character names? One might not want to check some characters unless there are enough new events and it would also be useful in prioritizing playing one's characters.

2. In the character pages, can we have other characters with new events light up on the side, along with the number of new events. Again this is useful for prioritizing playing one's characters. There is a lot of empty space currently on the sides, so this wouldn't clutter the pages.

These suggestions, at least the first one, are not too tough to implement too.

I'm not sure if this falls under accessibility, but I've noticed that some items in the build menu start with a capital and some don't. It'd be nice if it had a set case.

[EchoMan]

It's the way they are added in the translation database. But I agree. At least for English and Swedish.

[Chris]

How about a show/hide triangle for notes? The notes "folder" could have a number in parentheses to show how many notes/folders are on the ground.

[EchoMan]

Not a bad idea. Rather easy to implement too I think.

I don't know if someone suggested this already, but mabe we could put a filter on the event page, which when selected, filters out stuf like people running in and out of buildings and stuf beïng draged droped ect. This can fill up the screen pretty quick. It would make it a lot easier to read what someone has said in some towns.

[EchoMan]

Yes, filters are being discussed somewhere.
