It would be nice if we could sort local by standings. Nothing like getting into jita and scrolling through thousands of names looking for wartargets...

From Twitter is skill dragging from the character menu to chat also working now?

CCP karkur: Excellent at UI tweaks, not so great at realizing which account she's logging into.

CCP Fozzie, excellent at ships, not so great at making sure his account is secure

It's the little annoying things that get on one's nerves every day, and you touched on several of them. Nice work :)

Touche

i has a wish list!

allow me to make a War target overview without setting 100's of standings

This, sooo much this...

Allso, some of the right click menus...
Like.. "Capture portrait"...
Or maby "Resign as CEO" and so on...
A lot of these options seem out of place.

But really the wartarget overview is needed badly, it is such a hassle setting so many standings every day..

Love the changes, hate the post, seriously, no sub heads at all. As someone who has done a good bit of print layout design, the fact that there are any emoticons in any piece of professional writing at all makes me die a little inside, especially the fact that you ended multiple paragraphs with emoticons...

CCP karkur, you and your team are my heroes. This is what good UI improvement is.

Now can you beat some sense into the launcher team? Please? :P

Very nice indeed. Love all the changes.

There was another one with Notepad. And yes I use it all the time. I take lots of notes.

I can't quite remember though but it had to do with links in the notepad. Like Links to a station or links to a character ir a corp. Right now you can drag a station to the notepad and the link stays there no problem. However, if you copy the text which also has the link in it and paste into another note, the link is gone your left with just plain text. Same if your coping something email that might have links in it and you paste it into a note the link disappears.

Maybe something you could look at please.

However I am quite satisfied and pleased with all these UI changes

now when the bookmark window pops up, the location name text is preselected for you, and if you want to change it you will just have to start typing to replace it.

There's literally nothing in there I don't like.
Awesome stuff, in other words.

However I would like to mention: on TQ currently I still have the issue where scrolling through the "my fleet" tab in hierarchy mode, if someone moves squads or becomes squad commander, joins fleet, or a whole bunch of other stuff like that, my scroll position is reset to the top. It's quite frustrating.

Oh the pun....

Good Job though :).

EDIT: How is mass-drag for fleet invites looking. Something we may or may not get soon?

Yeah I know this isn't exactly the right thread but I've submitted a bug report and made a thread about this before and no one did anything :(

There is a small and annoying UI bug with the fleet watchlist. When your watchlist window is active, you can't use non function key module shortcuts. You have to click in space or pretty much any other window (other than a chat typing box) to fix this. Function keys with modules work fine while watch list is the active window. This is really annoying when you use ctrl + click to target or orbit from your watchlist. Every other window you use in combat allows non function key shortcuts to work while they are active.

How to reproduce: rebind a module key to 1, add someone to watchlist, orbit him from the watchlist, press 1 to active a module and cry when it doesn't work :(

Sounds like a bug... would be excellent if you could send in a bugreport

great stuff!

What are the odds of a fully customizable menu? Let the players remove and add things they want to drop down menus. Let us add color and even change the font size and spacing between the options to select.

Great changes.

What are the odds of including the exact ship a player is using on you watch list between their name and health bars?

One small change that would help logistics would be to allow target selection from the watch list.
IE you double click some one on the watch list and if they are locked by you the target is switched to them, simple but would really help logi bros out.

Love all the changes :)

However, if I am understanding correctly, the page up/down feature is usable only with the Page Up/Down keys? I'd really like to be able to remap that functionality to some other keys.

Some good stuff here.

Maybe this is a good place to ask for something that would be really useful...

When you're entering a quantity amount in a text box (such as ISK or number of items), the UI doesn't show it clearly until you click off the box. It would be good if we could enter trailing zeroes more accurately. How about instead of typing:
2000000

we type:
2m
As soon as a recognised letter is typed, the box will automatically expand it out to 6 zeroes, and you get 2000000.

This idea is pretty simple to extend out like so:

3k = 3000
10m = 10000000
8b = 8000000000

Should save people time squinting at how many digits they've typed and if they're selling that contract for 100mil, 1bil or 10bn...

However I would like to mention: on TQ currently I still have the issue where scrolling through the "my fleet" tab in hierarchy mode, if someone moves squads or becomes squad commander, joins fleet, or a whole bunch of other stuff like that, my scroll position is reset to the top. It's quite frustrating.

As I was adding stuff these new options to the already long menu for the fleet commander, I decided to clean the menu up a little bit. When you are working in the fleet and Watch List windows, you probably rarely need very fast access to the "Edit Contact", "Give Money" or GÇ£Capture PortraitGÇ¥ options or any of the other "Pilot" options, so I moved them into a "Pilot" submenu, which is consistent with how these options are presented in the Overview.

It blinks: "He's dead, Jim." It disappears: "She got away, captain.

Yeah... that's what those buttons do, like Home goes to front/top and End goes to, well, end.

To top, whaaaaat? That should have been fixed. It should always go back to where it was before. Any special repro case, or does this always happen?

Then go to the Local chat channel and carefully scroll down the list. In Odyssey you will be able to just select the list and use the Page Up and Page Down keys to scroll real fast through that list and see at a glance if there's anyone "super friendly" there. And by "super friendly" I mean your mortal enemies if the quotes were confusing you...

Home goes to front/top and End goes to, well, end.

If you ever use the Notepad you will have noticed that the order of the notes is very random. For some reason you guys thought it should be in some sensible order, like alphabetical or something clever like that. After thinking about it for a while, I finally started to agree with you so I changed it so the notes are sorted in alphabetical order.

It's really great to see how much you like those changes
When you people are so nice, I just want to do more of those little changes for you

Thank you all for your comments. I have commented on a few of them (where I had anything to say), but have read them all.
If you have any more questions (especially about those changes I made) or comments, let's hear them!

yay for u and i :D

hi, I have not had time to read all 97 posts. so I do not know if it has already given this proposal.

Is it possible to add the creation of folders in the contact-groups?

hundreds of bad contacts I would like group to Corps. So I can see if players of a corp are online.

That would be awesome!

CCP karkur, you and your team are my heroes. This is what good UI improvement is.

Now can you beat some sense into the launcher team? Please? :P

TIL what these buttons do. i am 24 and have been living in a symbiotic relationship with various computers since i was 14

You also wanted to be able to open more than one stored fitting window at a time, so now if you SHIFT-click a fitting link, the fitting will open up in a new window.

The EVE Launcher teams (really there are three, one for the launcher actual and two other teams for the web components used by the Launcher) are hard at work iterating on the new Launcher. But there are other threads to discuss the Launcher, this thread is about the Little Things coming from CCP karkur and her team in Odyssey. And, no, we are not going to be beating anyone...

OK, to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed to even mention the first one because it's such a tiny tiny change, but since you guys have been asking for it I should tell you about it: you can now make the input field in chat a single line and gain like 20 extra pixels! Yay! :)

Yes... in an ideal world we would have that. It's very tricky to get right, and we just have not put the time into doing that (and I'm not sure we will anytime soon, sorry )

If I understand your request correctly, you are asking for folders in your contacts list to be able to organize your contacts. We already have something similar but better: Labels.
You can assign many labels to a character. So I could for example assign 2 labels called "Bad at EVE" and "My alts" to my alt character Skills*, because he's pretty bad at EVE but he's also me .
And then when I select the Label categories, he'll show up in both list, as well as in the "All Contacts" and the "Excellent Standings" ones.

*Skills lives on my local server, is not really my TQ alt

Can you at least make it auto-insert commas (or periods for the euros)? If windows calculator can do it then it shouldn't be too hard. Also do this for the ingame calc too, since I don't like trying to count how many tiny zeros it is showing.

I'd like to draw everyone's attention to this Twitter exchange:

In short, CCP karkur has been working ridiculously long hours, even working through a weekend, on all of these changes... bringing her to a level of awesome even greater than the awesomeness level she was at after the dev blog. CCP karkur, we salute you! o7

Have you read this article? http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows-vista/using-your-mouse

So the other day I changed it so when you drag the picture of the station in your Show Info window, you will create a link to that particular station rather than the type of the station.
