Toolbox request.

by Bloodknight · in Torque 3D Professional · 05/22/2009 (9:07 pm) · 6 replies

The dialog boxes thet pop up telling us that torsion is being loaded or VS version x is loading are completely superflous in my opinion, can they be dispatched or is there a chance of getting the toolbox source so we can so this ourselves?

NB the system tray balloon that pops up every time also falls into this category

That's one of the known issues, but I hope that they'll have some tick-box options for stuff like that.

Ideal Options:
No balloons
Actually close when the X is pressed on the toolbox (otherwise, I could just minimize it myself)
Don't auto-minimize when running an editor or game

Stuff like that...

personally i dont like stuff dropping to system tray unliess i 'lives' there, so i like my TSRs in the system tray, and my apps on the taskbar as a general rule.

while we are pointing out oddities.. why is minimise an option for an app thats only residing in the system tray? :p

While I kind of agree with it being strange that it's in the system tray, I think it might be nice to keep it off of the taskbar while I've got a bunch of editors open... probably keep it cleaner overall.

Maybe minimize should "minimize" it into the system tray :)

Sign.

Also, as i mentioned before, let toolbox remember last compiler choosed in the settings, faster way to start it up again (you dont sit around switching compiler each time you start you know!). :)

I will also like to have the source code of toolbox just in case we will like to enhance it with some new features (like for example, adding some mechanism to cipher our data before releasing an application, creating patch, plug it with SVN...).

I'd like it if there was not pop up at all its really annoying imo.
