Smithy58 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 seeing the thread here there are 48 pages of discussion and suggestions, is there a comporehensive list as I have a few suggestions to make, e.g. The ability to import and export the full table of cv values in a csv or xls format which would be useful and easier than the current setup. The ability to look at other pc windows rather than making Railmaster sit on the desktop taking the focus all the time, make the system more windows compliant by using windows standard practices, e.g. Using the mouse wheel to scroll etc. these are just some suggestions as we want to encourage people to use this system we should be trying to work using windows techniques and being innovative to persuade others to use Railmaster .

RB51 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I think Smithy a couple of folk have tried to put together such a listing but I suppose there are several factors getting in the way. At 48 forum pages long it is going to be quite a list to compile, maintain and display. I am no expert but I suspect that this forum is not versatile enough to allow such a listing that could be amended as time went on? Could be wrong though. The other side of the list is - if we wanted to know the status of the requested improvement, which seems obvious otherwise what's the point - there would need to be someone on the RM side to give a "status" to the various improvements, even if it's only "noted" or "not viable" etc. Having said that I think such a compliation is a good idea as I am sure some requests are being duplicated.

RDS Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 @Smithy58The original thread 'Desirable Features' was started by me and I promised a few weeks ago that I would produce a consolidated list. I have got to page 29 so far, so please don't start another completely different list, just keep on adding to the one we have already got, including the items you have put in this thread. The consolidation exercise is of course not made any easier by the fact that out of the 282 posts I have sifted through so far, only 81 actually contain a suggestion for a 'Desirable Feature'.

RB51 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I knew there was someone doing it RDS, just couldn't remember who - well done. Perhaps not as long a list as I imagined then? 81 pertinent comments out of 282 posts, quite a high "on topic' score I'd say. R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy58 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 RDS, Would it be easier if I detailed the pertinent points / suggestions on a word document and emailed them rather than trying to sift through postings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornbyRailMasterSupport Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Those of you who read the forum regularly will know that we read all postings and note ALL suggestions. We evaluate each one and in the vast majority of cases (easily over 90%) build them in as they clearly make sense. Added to these are our own new functions and improvements to the software. We also take into account all suggestions received by email and invariably build most of these in too.At the end of the day, this software is built on the foundations of what railway modellers want to do not just what we think you want to do. This is the only way we can make RailMaster the most desirable PC model railway control system out there.There is plenty more to do and we continue to build new functionality, make things easier to do and of course resolve bugs. A new release will be made available soon, not so much with new functionality but with the improvement of existing features and fixes to minor bugs reported. This update has been delayed by the introduction of Windows 10 and the resulting bugs in the Microsoft serial port driver. We are working on ways of getting around this and are confident in being able to provide a solution soon. We will then resume finalising the updates to the next maintenance release of RailMaster (1.62) and make it available for automatic download.

RDS Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 RDS, Would it be easier if I detailed the pertinent points / suggestions on a word document and emailed ...Not really, I think you should just add your suggestions to the original 'Desirable features' thread.

hans_van de burgt Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The question was, not to start a new topic with suggestions for improvement.I have a simple suggestion.To program a list of tasks and events, sometimes, I want to repeat centain program lines. I miss the "go to line #" function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Then you should put this suggestion in the Desirable Features thread hans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
