PAO: Two Feature Requests

[d.tsakiris 417]

Hello,

firstly, many thanks for this great tool, couldn't manage without!

I was wondering if you could consider two features:

a) (De-)Activation of multiple sceneries at once. I would like to have only the relevant airfields activated, but for makerwy, all the sceneries have to be active. This function would make this possible more easily.

b) Context menu: It would be great if in the Windows Explorer one could right-click on a folder containing scenery and texture sub-folders, select "PAO: Add as scenery" and that would bring up the according mask, with the path already filled in.

Thanks!

Regards,

Dimitri

Hello Dimitry,

a) the scenery "groups" in P4AO were implemented for this purpose

b) This is a rather complex request. The app (or rather the installer) would have to add a registry key to your system - do you really want that (=does everyone want that)? Then there is quite a bit of checking and error handling involved. Probably some 4-8 hours of effort in total.

Best regards

a) I know about that function. I would have to put all sceneries in a group (where marking multiple entries would come in really handy) to activate all of them before using makerwys, then deactivate all afterwards and them only activate the two or three I will be using for the next flight. I will try that!

b) Just a suggestion that came to mind while defining tens of sceneries (and I'm still not finished). The entries in the context menu could be optional - but I'd definitely use them.

Anyway, thanks for considering!
