Editor comments and ideas

Hello again 

1. Can the devs make the popup/size change warnings appear at the top instead of underneath (setfocus in programming concepts) and or, not bring up a popup message at all and just have 'confirm' checkbox on the details page which is unchecked by default and needs to be checked before the 'OK' becomes active 

OR an 'Apply' button, along with OK and cancel, the apply button would apply the changes without a popup and OK would confirm the changes or cancel would revert back to previous changes.

2. Size Templates for the most commonly used sizes could be useful in the size change area, ie a dropdown box with the following:

Small Square (6000x6000)
Medium Square (9000x9000)
Large Square (12000x12000)
Vertical Rectangle (6000x12000)
Horizontal Rectangle(12000x6000)
Custom (set as standard)

3. Align to grid?  Allowing exact placement of items to the nearest grid square.

any thoughts?

Size Templates for the most commonly used sizes

That's a good idea
I'm not much of a map maker, so if anyone asks all I'd request is bigger maps. Way bigger. But I know it isn't currently possible

Align to grid

I read that in the old Borg voice
