positional popups

[pasita]

I'm somewhat confused with the positional popups groups. Do they have other use than quickly create per position hud groups?

Why do the stats start from SB when all the default HUDs start from EP (which is the way they should be imo).
Is there a (planned) way of changing the rotation in the positional popup editor?

If I Convert to Freeform I can in theory fix things. But since moving multiple items with drag&drop doesn't seem to work (although I see the message "Multiple items selected") it's a huge PITA and very error prone... I if I take the default positional popup as an example, after fixing the texts I'd need to reorder 7 boxes that say VPIP and 7 others saying VPIP-Legacy edition, the only way of distinguishing those being in the Item Properties area. And while I have that open, it just might be easier to change the properties by hand, thus rendering the whole pop-popup-builder idea pretty much useless.

I'd like to know whether you're planning on any rework on this... if not, fine, I'll build my huds by hand.... but if you plan to fix this in the near future I might just wait for a while.

The purpose is to quickly create this kind of popup which we recognize is tedious and can be unpleasant.

I don't know if there are plans to change the ordering, but I had at least one thought which would significantly cut down on doing the work yourself - if you want things to start with EP, you could build a version in the Positional editor that doesn't have the blind positions and convert it to freeform. Then you only need to add the blind positions and they'll be at the end of the line so easier to make sure you're doing right.

Hmmmkey.... I take it I shouldn't hold my breath waiting things to be harmonized between the groups.
I also assume there' s not going to be an update soon where I can move multiple items with drag&drop, or copy/paste between two editors (so I could copy/move stuff between hud groups)? This would be huge, allowing incremental build/test of new stats lines.

We know those are wanted and I hope we got to those features eventually, but right now we are trying to stabilize our existing features for a commercial release - I wouldn't expect to see those things pop up until after PT4 goes commercial at least.
