Help ticker / status bar

[Samapico]

You know, in most programs there are some helpful messages that appear in the status bar... DCME doesnt have that... because of that, i'm sure many features arent being used because people do not know about them.

For example, when dragging a line out of the window, the map moves... but if you hold ALT, it moves faster

Or if you right-click on the radar, you can center on a specific location...

 

these are the kind of things that could appear somewhere... perhaps beside the toolbar buttons at the top... depending on the situation, if you're hovering over the radar, it would say 'Right-click to center on a specific location'

 

I think that would be nice...

 

 

... edit: move this one to DCME forum too... :S my bad

well, as soon as I get working on it, speed will be adjustable and ALT will probably make it 2x or something

Yea, why not. Sounds useful.

im using a 1Ghz PC right now but DCME can do REALY slow (for instance click the left and right buttons) if i press em 3 times it takes a few seconds to scroll left/right 3 parts.

So i duno if you can make it any faster or if its just my PC which makes it that slow? (i think its me).

Also when i click another window and come back after a few min and i want to copy/paste something it is EXTREMELY slow, i want to move the selection but i see my mouse move over my screen with steps of 5cm. and that happens with most tools. (draw lines-circles-squares-whipe out-select other parts.) Just gets so enoying that i go to SSME after a few min.

 

sorry should have made a new topic for that post. (still a bit sleepy)
