I was thinking. I am not sure if it was Phergus that originally brought this up or not but I would love it if we could create as many token layers (folders) as we want and have to ability to right click on them and assign certain rules to them.

I could basically do everything I can currently do with the Properties of a token like turn snap off, assign stamp, etc.

Then when I have that folder highlighted, I can just drag and drop all the images I want and they will automatically be assigned the same as the folder.

Just wanted to voice that :)

Hmm. Let me digest that a little bit. I'll add a tracker for it so that it doesn't get lost.

Doprond - I think that with the variable free-sizing you'll have everything you need. I think that I would prefer for anything assigned a specific size to maintain that no matter what designation it had.

Trevor - Will the free-sizing snap-to-grid if the shift key is held down?

I remember that it came up and it sounds like a nice feature but I don't recall being the one that suggested it.

It would be handy if we could change an entire groups attributes at one time that way.

That's the plan :)

Agreed, just need to think about the best way to get that functionality into the UI.

Another odd issue - not sure if it was brought up or not.

OK, in my case, I do the following:
1. Quick Map - cobblestone
2. Go to my buildings folder and drag a building to the map.
3. Click on Free Size
4. The image goes full size but instantly goes back to medium token size again.
5. Repeat #3 to make it work.

This seems to be happening every time at the moment.

If you need to know, the buildings are about 1 meg PNG's.

Update: I just tested it again, and now it is working. I can't seem to figure out what causes this to happen.

That's pretty weird. If it happens again, take a look at the Java console and see if there is an exception printed.
