CCP Turtlepower C C P C C P Alliance 0	Posted - 2014.07.31 16:02:00 - [1] - Quote Hello pilots! We are working on few new overview-related features, and a first iteration will go live on Singularity in the very near future. -You can now share your overview settings in-game! Simply open your overview settings, then drag and drop an icon into chat, and press Enter. If another pilot clicks the link, your overview will completely overwrite his/hers. The overview profiles are stored on the server, so these links can even be added to mails, bios, notepads, etc. and used later. Overview profiles are not "owned" by anyone, and once a profile is stored, anyone can access it given that they have the link. Please note that only default or saved tab presets can be shared. -New overview tabs are now created by clicking a little icon to the right of the rightmost tab, similar to how internet browser tabs can be created. One more thing: since this is a very new feature which includes changes to how we store overview settings on the server, we reserve the right to clean out all the overview profiles on Singularity if needed (we are not expecting this to be necessary right now, but it might happen). If you have any questions or comments, or if you can find any bug in these features, please feel free to reply to this thread. CCP Turtlepower Team Pirate Unicorns

I've been a GM for almost 3 years, just recently moved to QA. Randy en Viliana wrote: I can see this being abused by people sharing the links as other things, and having settings that are totally messed up. Would not wanna be one to click a link that is supposed to be a contract or fleet, only to have it over-ride my overview with setting that will take me time to correct. We included a warning box that cannot be suppressed, hopefully that will prevent any misunderstandings.

CCP Turtlepower C C P C C P Alliance 26	Posted - 2014.08.01 15:29:00 - [4] - Quote Thanks for all the feedback! We will definitely consider all your great suggestions before we release this feature later this month. Hope you all have a nice weekend


CCP Turtlepower C C P C C P Alliance 40	Posted - 2014.08.11 10:32:00 - [5] - Quote Once again, thanks to all of you for the feedback. Ranger 1 wrote: I think it might have been a bit more appealing if these settings were imported/exported one tab at a time... and only if you have a tab free. Otherwise you are given the proposed prompt to back up that tab in case you prefer your old settings (of course it would give you the option of which tab to overwrite if all of your tabs are full). Importing an overview profile using this new method will not overwrite any previously saved tab presets (unless they have the same names - an issue we are currently looking into). This means that as long as you remember to save your presets before clicking on a shared overview profile link, you can simply load your saved presets back into any tab with just a few clicks afterwards, effectively mixing and matching two profiles. Ranger 1 wrote: I've also toyed with the idea that perhaps it might be a good idea to have a popup whenever you are aggressed by someone or something not already on your overview. That's a really great idea! We will definitely look into this soon :) One more thing - we are looking into adding some kind of overview history feature, as that would address many concerns voiced in this thread. More details on this later.

However, if you save an Overview Preset in a note or email, then you can easily switch between once you have logged in on different characters. GeeShizzle MacCloud wrote: Does the new import/export saving also save the customisable corp/alliance tag input boxes? Yes! Niko Lorenzio wrote: I can't figure out how to load an existing preset. It used to be that you right click on the settings icon in the overview settings window. If I have a bracket preset, how do I load it to modify it? Right click on a overview tab to load a preset into that tab.

We are not changing this part of the overview at this time, sorry.


CCP Turtlepower C C P C C P Alliance 67	Posted - 2014.08.15 15:29:00 - [8] - Quote We have now added a new tab to the overview settings - History. Here you can see your last 15 loaded overview profiles, and revert back to them easily. We also added a 'Restore' button to the bottom of this window, clicking it will simply undo the last overview profile import. Please update your Singularity client and try it out! Karash Amerius wrote: Are we able to bracket moons in space again? I will see to it that this is looked into. Dersen Lowery wrote: 1) What if we could save sets of overview tabs and browse through the sets, and clicking a link added a set? Give them names, and then they would simply appear in the background, with some non-modal notification that "overview set 'LOL n00b" has just been added." Even if the modal dialog stays, I would love to be able to load my overview in sets of tabs. 2) I like the idea that some sort of notification would appear that you were being attacked. I initially thought, "just put them on the current overview tab, flashing red!" but there are some weird edge cases there (person gets attacked at the same time that he switches tabs?) so maybe that one is best served by some modal/centered-on-screen/otherwise hard-to-ignore notification. 1. This is a good idea, but will not be part of this iteration. 2. This is out of scope for this project at the moment, but it is something we are interested in looking deeper into in the coming months.
