PLEASE do something to enhance mapping models!!!
« on: October 31, 2016, 12:45:23 AM »
If the devs could just make to where the selection window will maintain it's position; that would help quite a bit.

It is very frustrating to select a node strand etc, then have the selection window scroll to the very top of the list again!

Chances are most likely, the following mapping selection will be very close to the one just selected.

This fix alone, would probably shave hours off of mapping. Even better would be if we had 2 columns like the xl xml mapping screen, then associate model-model node steand etc. Also perhaps a filter of some sort, so you could limit the list to the needed section.

PLEASE give consideration to fixing the scroll back to the begining. I believe this will help mapping considerably.

Thank You again, for the consideration.

Best,
David

Its already on the issue list:
https://github.com/smeighan/xLights/issues/265

Dan says it already works that way on the Mac.  I believe its the wxWidgets library that is controlling how that operates.  But I'm not sure since I didn't write any of that mapping functionality.  I just started working on my Christmas stuff so unless something stops me from working I'll be looking into things in January.
