Being able to move map tags once placed

redlabel · Post by **redlabel** » Wed May 17, 2017 12:29 pm

Simple suggestion.

Imagine that I place a tag in the wrong place but I do not want to delete it and place it again, or if someone did.

So I suggest that besides confirm/delete you get "move" which lets you drag it around. If you press once it stays and then you confirm.

CHeers,

TL;DR

Make map tag(s) moveable.

What ?

Allow to move existing tags with mouse on the map.

Why ?

To allow moving existing map tags instead to delete and create them again on another position.

+1 maybe give them a pair of coordinates in the menu you get when clicking on them.

I'd like to be able to interact with a tag like this:
left-click: edit tag properties (already works like this)
right-click: take a copy of the tag in hand and remove it from the map. Can be placed or discarded like a tag that was created with the "create tag" button. Apply the mining delay of 0.5s before actually removing the tag from the map, just as if you were mining the tag.

Even better would be if one could select a group of tags and then align them horizontal, vertical, in a grid or give them equal/minimal spacing.

But that’s not, what this suggestion is about, imho it’s a completely new idea.

+! to the original suggestion. I have recently had a need to do so, and obviously someone else beat me to the suggestion.

That's usually why I want to move tags. Because they look croocked when I want to make a group or I started too low and the last in a group doesn't fit anymore so I need to move them all up a bit.

I need that frequently when i plan the rough concept of a new base/build/whatever, so being able to move tags around would be a fantastic tool for me.

I've never needed this, but sure, I can see where it could be useful to others.

It'd probably be easy to implement it, why not? It's a cool qol feature.
