RLV presets - Who uses these? #983
-
I''m all for easy menus, but the presets seem a little "clumsy" when it comes to handling RLV restrictions. I've used RLV for quite a few years, and it's one of the first things I ignore. Is this some kind of "cheat sheet" for new users? |

Hi dracnoc, those "presets" were "macros" in OpenCollar V 6 and came about because someone thought there were too many individual restrictions to handle, and grouping some of them in categories with a rp type name would relieve the logjam. They used to be named Macros but that was confusing for a lot of people. In the end we restored all the original individual restrictions and added more, and shuffled the menus so it was easier to get to individual restrictions but also kept some of the "macros" and named them "presets." "Presets" is now a jumble of themed restrictions and the most popular individual restrictions. |

Most of the restrictions that are in the presets are also available as individual restrictions in the Advanced menu. For instance, show/hide names is listed under Show/Hide category there. You can check it in the same page I just posted. |

ALMOST every RLV restriction is available via the advanced options menu. All of the ones that are used in presets are. Clicking a preset is a lot easier and friendlier to most people than navigating through a list of 62 individual restrictions to figure out what they want to actually set. Presets can also be easily edited to suit the individual user. I don't really see what more we can do to make this both as easy AND as flexible as possible. |
