I've recently made an effort to get to know Templot having first purchased it a couple of years ago and then not having been able to make the comprehension "breakthrough" at the time. I'm pleased to say that I think I've (nearly!) got to grips with it now. It is a steep learning curve but once you crest that, your productivity increases exponentially; I can knock out a double slip in under 90 seconds now! So in the interest of making things even speedier .... what I would find really useful would be an additional option on the "transition curve acceptance menu" that says something like "Yes - Continue and replace foundation templates". I find that the majority of the time I change the length of the transition curve, from both ends, to overlap the entirety of the two foundation templates and then delete the latter. One click to do all this would save time. And on the subject of transition curves, but possibly harder to implement; would it be possible to release the focus from the acceptance menu? Some TCs are much larger than the underlying templates. When showing the result, the trackbed is zoomed out to show the whole of the TC template and it is sometime not possible to see which of the left or right handed TC is correct without zooming in. Unfortunately you cannot do this until the TC acceptance menu is dismissed. But this is a minor and rare bugbear. Thanks, Duncan |

Hi Duncan, Many thanks for those suggestions.  Both of those things have annoyed me from time to time too, so I have done something about it: 2_051747_040000000.png  Making this dialog non-modal is impossible, so instead I've added some additional controls. There is a tickbox to delete the original templates on clicking yes, and the usual zoom and pan controls to move around the trackpad while this dialog has focus.  These changes will be in the next update, which I'm hoping to upload later tonight. regards, Martin. |
