Feature Request: Export button

snikle · Post by **snikle** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 12:22 am

I hate menus.

Any chance of adding a big fat button under all the zoom ones that says create token/save token/export it/make a darn token! or something like that? allot easier than going to file and save token

ya ya, I know, I am lazy, but moving that mouse another 2.07 millimeters is killing me!

btw trevor, TT so freaking rocks!

Did you know you can drag and drop right from the preview window ?

You can drop it onto your desktop, or directly onto MT. Neat !

Holy Crap!!

Now I can leave open TokenTool and instantly take snap shots of monsters, make a token and drag that token directly into Maptool!!! Quick, fast and easy!!

I think I am going to DIE here! This is so friggin' Sweet!!!

(Can you tell I am happy?)

Uhm, since the beginning ?

From the docs:

http://rptools.net/doku.php?id=tokentool:documentation

"Ctrl-E or File→Save to save your token as a PNG file (in your MapTool asset directory, of course). Or you can drag from the “preview” onto MapTool or your local filesystem directly." (emphasis added)

*Whew, dodged a "Our documentation sucks" bullet there !

Nice thing about the tools you make is that we really don't need to read instructions to use them. Who read the instructions? *shrug*

If there are more hidden goodies like this though, I think I am going to start reading them!
