very petty suggestion (destroy toolbox notification balloon)

by TheGasMan · in Torque 3D Professional · 07/26/2009 (11:30 pm) · 13 replies

I close the Toolbox window when I do not need it open. Every time I close the toolbox window, the notification balloon 'pops up'. I would leave the main-toolbox window open but I need the 'regular toolbar space' as I usually have many, many windows open at any given time.
I just don't know if it is completely necessary to remind someone..so, so many times that the toolbox is still running.

((If T3D includes the source for the toolbox, just say so and I'll STHU.))

From what I understood, the toolbox source wont be available.

A setting window for the toolbox could include a toggle for that reminder, or that reminder could set a flag somewhere that the reminder was done once already, and not do it again until the toolbox is restarted, or maybe ever...

or just an option to never show it at all.
T3D devs invest $1000 per license, they are not exactly stupid and should be able to recognize simple symbols on the systray :)

I haven't heard one person say they actually like that notification balloon. That about sums it up, in my mind.

Will it be removed ?

- I would guess 90% of us want it gone, 10% don't care...& I doubt anyone wants that nonsensical recurring warning.

[..the popping is driving me crazy.]

Notification balloons are ok the first time. After that, they need to shut up.

I posted a complaint about this back with the first beta, so yes, I too would like to see at least an option to disable it... but only after all other higher priority issues are taken care of.

No. No commie me! I am an anarchist... voluntary association and all that... I don't want the balloon destroyed but saved as an option for those who would be its friend and fellow traveler, but not imposed on all.
