Editor Suggestions

[EVWeb]

I really like how powerful the editor is, but I had some ideas on how to further improve it:

1. Allow me to rotate the direction of the block while maintaining the current dimensions. (Basically, allow me to rotate the direction of the block's function without rotating the actual shape)

2. Allow me to mass change all selected blocks to new type

3. Allow me to delete/paste the selected blocks while the inventory window is open

4. Allow me to see the green/red placement color through the hidden blocks (really hard to delete and add new blocks to the interior of a ship when I can't see if it's green or red

5. Allow me to split a block back into smaller blocks (so I can make smaller changes)

6. Delete autosaves after a certain number have been made

Those are some really nice suggestions, +1 from me!

One more I would like to add to the list is this:

 

7. Allow mass-recoloring of all selected blocks

 

 

This would be particularly helpful when attempting to change something like a complex ship's entire armor color (but nothing else). Having to change hundreds or thousands of blocks individually isn't fun. :P (Maybe there is a way apart from changing the entire ship's color, though? At least I haven't figured it out yet, if it exists.)

Yes, please. :)  Number 1 & 2 have been annoyances for me, and after seeing the hundreds of auto-save files in the galaxy directory, number 6 can keep the directory from bloating too much and then some people wondering where their hard drives went....
