Hey all,

I'm a bit tied up with other things for a few days, but wanted to post to say that there are some excellent suggestions here! I'll post back with thoughts (and indeed questions) as soon as I can. Keep the suggestions coming though, if you'd like to I'm not sure how many new features I can fit into the next release as it won't be as big a set of changes as the last release - but I can see what I can do about the top few requests at least, esp. if they're little ones And I do plan on keeping the Trizbort versions going.

Would people prefer a uservoice style affair, or is that totally over the top for such a tiny tool as Trizbort? Thoughts welcome.

Thanks,
eg.

Okay, I've just tried this out, and already I'm somewhat infatuated with it.

I'd like to echo the requests for doors and regions, if either are at all likely. Probably not as an automapper feature, but for export purposes these would be extremely useful.

I'd also really like to be able to duplicate chunks of map using copy/paste, or something of that nature. Maybe even an option to rotate them, so a long north-south road can become an east-west road without any hassle.

Also, I'm not sure if this would be possible, but it would be amazing if there was a way for Trizbort to import project files from Inform, TADS, etc, even if the source of the project needs to be neatened up a bit before it'll work.

I'll definitely be looking out for new releases of this.

It's on my to-do list to create an Import and Export to Trizbort from ADRIFT. Should be pretty straightforward as they're both XML (in case you wish to do the same ;- )

First of all I'd like to congratulate you on such a fantastic mapper

I'd like to see the ability to colour each map room a different colour. Something along the lines of select a bunch of rooms and turn them all the same colour to save time and effort.

When selecting a line style i don't want it to be remebered the next time i go to draw a new connection - clearing out the up/down in/out text can become a little tedious when mapping manually.

Any news on a likely release date for the next version?

I print off a lot of maps on A4 and A3 paper, and spend a while organising the maps so as not to print a location halfway off the edge of a page. What would be nice is to be able to see maybe a feint outline that denotes each A4 page so that i can avoid straddling 2 pages with one room.
