COuld the assets have an option somewhere (I think we will need a tabbed options menu and fewer checkboxes on the menus soon :lol: ) to show as a different icon size or to show the filenames instead or in addition to the image? Twhis would let you get more tokens visible at a time.

Hmmm, interesting idea. I'll put in a tracker to support changing the size of the tokens. I'm assuming you are talking about the Image Explorer ?

K, tracker added. I went ahead and added it to 1.1 since it'll be easy to implement

yes, image explorer. THe idea was really more about having a text list option instead of images as an option, for quicker scrolling and browsing, but smaller images would be good too, as an afterthought.

One of the problems of using image names is that once the image is put in the cache, it doesn't keep track of its name. This could of course be ammended, but at the moment, it's just an unnamed image.

With my old, slow machine, loading up the entire group of tokens from the monster manual at once is slow and its hard to find what I'm looking for in the list. So on my 'puters I have them seperated by alphabet with another directory structure that seperates them by type. For humanoids, I also have the tokens seperated by race.

This lets me quickly navigate to the token I want and limits the choices once I get there the images load quickly. It also allows me to have a bunch of differnt images for the humanoids that are easy to access.

I would give you the zip file of my tokens but I'm not sure where they all came from. If this sounds like it will help, I'll use Bis's tokens, seperate them into a similar directory tree, and submit them to the image repository.
