Hmmm, good question. Looks like 1.3 :)
Hi!

When will 1.3 be scheduled for takeoff?

I can't seem to find the "veiw as player" option in b18. This is very useful to me and I was actually going to request a keyboard shortcut be added for it I use it so much.

It's still there but under the 'view' menu now.

Oh I see, at the top. Yes, much better place for it.

Can we get a shortcut for it? :-)

A button would be kinda cool for the DM/Player View. That way you can just hit the same button to switch back and forth.

Well you have no print command so how about Control-P ? (P for Player View)

If you ever add a print function you could change this to Control-Shift-P

I also like the idea of a toggle button, it should give a visual indication of which mode you are in (sometimes it's not so obvious).

I could certainly do this (as several of you have suggested). I'll need help knowing what to make it look like though since I'm drawing a blank.

maybe a wizard's hat icon, and one with a universal no wizard's hat?

I was thinking something really simple. A static label above the button that says "View". And then the button would either display "Player" or "GM" text right on the button to correspond with the present view. Hit the button, and the view changes along with the text on the button to match the appropriate view.

That sounds good to me, very straightforward.

I like it!

I think I would call the button VIEW and have the text label outside of the button switch between 'As a Player' and 'As a GM'
