Turn hover feedback yellow border white when settings match

Post by quyxkh »

When you're copy-pasting settings it'd be nice to get feedback when the paste takes, how about displaying the hover border in white when the settings match?
hunh. I'd swear there used to be a description available on profiles. "quyxkh" is a made-up word for fun, pronounced a lot like "cook".

+1
That would help the "oops I missed a provider chest limit paste" issue.

I made a post about this a while ago but it had a different solution:

And I point to what I've said there: What's really needed is mass copy/paste. Copy setting. Select targets with a lasso. Paste.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Like this? Not a lasso / selection box but from a usability standpoint I like this very much.

Nope, need a selection mechanic. I don't know about you, but I am terrible at moving my cursor in an x/y direction so the "feature" shown in the image will cause me more often than not to paste the wrong object. I agree with Sslik, a click & drag lasso system would be better in the same way a rail planner is better.
