Feature Request - Dialogue Entry Group Options

Hello,

You've already implemented one of my requests, so I thought I 'd push my luck a bit :P

I noticed that some of my groups were barely visible, and I realized that they were being drawn behind other groups. It seems that group draw order is determined by the order they're created in. It would be nice to be able to adjust this manually, or have smaller groups automatically have higher draw order.

A workaround is to delete and recreate the affected groups, but this can be very time consuming if you decide to encapsulate 5-10 groups into a larger group, as you have to manually create new groups, name them, and delete the old ones.


It would also be nice to be able to edit group default settings, so they're created in a specific color and max alpha for example. Not necessary at all, but would be cool :P

Regardless of whether or not you decide this is worth implementing, thank you for your amazing support!

I could expose this in a reorderable list in Menu > Conversation Properties.

Maybe in the Templates tab?

That would be perfect. I think that would be much faster than recreating the affected groups.

That would be great if you have the time :)

I think it would be nice to be able to customize this, but it definitely shouldn't be a priority. Just a minor time saver.

Thank you! If you do decide to implement either of these, no rush.

Hey,

Just thought I'd update this with another request related to groups. Group title text is white by default and doesn't change with different alpha values, but it does change with color. Darker colors make the titles more difficult to see, and black makes the text completely invisible.

I think keeping the text white at all times would give us a bit more options when it comes to coloring groups.

Once again, not a priority, but would be nice.

Thanks!
