Feature Request: Rotate Image

Post by dorpond »

Hey Trevor - Great New Version!

I love the new token base setup - really nice for overhead characters on a base!

Request: Allow us to rotate the image we drag into TT. Maybe just a Key Stroke/Mouse Wheel - anything. This way we can place the overhead images on the base facing in the direction we want them too.

Oh! That is an excellent idea dorpond! I encountered a use for that with my token for our Gemini Ascendant game. Yes, being able to rotate the image would be a definite time saver.

OK, sounds good.

Any preference/ideas on how to let you do that in the UI ?

what about a right click drag ?

I like dorponds idea of the mouse wheel. That makes it consistant with MT as well. So I guess it would be a Shift+Mouse Wheel to rotate the image.

And the Shift-Control option to rotate in small increments ;)

But that would be more intuitive.

Need to support doing it without a mouse-wheel.

How do you rotate in MT without a mouse wheel? That is how I would do it here as well. Consistency is important I would think especially if the two programs will get integrated at some point.

I'd think all you would need is a selector switch: something you could click that would toggle between "D" (drag) and "R" (rotate).

Then you could drag when it's under "D" and rotate when it's under "R". Normal left click drag would rotate freely, and mouse wheel would rotate by certain degree increments, like say 5 degrees or 10 degrees per step.

Or I guess you ignore the toggle idea and just have every left click drag inside the border be a drag, and every left click drag outside the border rotate the token around the center of the border. That would likely require a more coding though :D

A rotation slider next to the zoom slider?

You may want a mirror option as well if it's not already in there.
