| Summary | 0001846: _______ filter | ||||
| Description | Not sure how to describe it, but here's how I imagine it'd work: 1] You click on the galaxy filter. 2] You click on a button labelled CUSTOM 3] It brings up a text box that you type into, and it auto-fills with names of structures/ships until you find the one you one and click OK 4] The filter is activated Ideally typing in GOLEM would show all planets with golems, while ARMOURED GOLEM would show all planets with armoured golems on them. In my current game I keep losing track of my mobile repairers, and this would help keep track without having to clutter the galaxy filter list with every single unit in the game. | ||||

May I suggest the term "search" or "query" for the filter you're trying to describe here? Either way, I like this. |
|
|
useful for when I'm trying to find where I put those damned survey drones. |
|
|
there is something like that already, the find icon, the magnifier symbol, lowerst on the left of the galaxy map (although you have to scroll though all ship types and the tiers.) |
|
|
Just a little search dialog box would be pretty helpful for quickly finding where you left a couple raid starships or whatever. |
|
|
Upvoting. Except I want both a button and a hotkey to bring up the filter box. And hitting TAB when the box is active will auto-complete. |

For 6.006: * In response to the then-# 2 item on the mantis voting list: Added two new options to the Galaxy Display dropdown on the galaxy map: ** Custom Search (Narrow) *** Allows you to pick a specific type of object (example: MkII fighter, MkIII Hardened Forcefield Generator), and displays the count of detected units of the specific type on each planet. ** Custom Search (Broad) *** Allows you to pick a category of object (example: fighter, forcefield), and displays the count of detected units of types in that category on each planet. ** Both of these use the "text filtering" mechanism just implemented for the reference dropdown, so you you can get to the desired selection faster. ** Both of these can be keybound like all the other galaxy display options, but default is unbound. Thanks :) And doctorfrog, I considered tab completion but didn't see how it would really help here. |
