I was considering these options, and I'll add this below the combatant sequence. I might make a panel to control the combat status (see #62: Tighter control of Rest, Start Combat and End Combat). This way you have a combat note area plus button to start and end combat, and also to fire of rests.

Some way of always being able to see the comments/notes of the combatant who's turn it is even when clicking on another combatant. But when clicking on the other combatant, their comments/notes are visible too. This way both attacker and defender's notes are visable at the same time.

I understand that the screen 'realestate' probably wont allow this but it is a feature that I would find VERY useful.

Is it possible to have drop down menus for what you want to see visible in certain areas of the screen?

Keeping in mind that, on top of this, my feature request of having a 'sticky' notes section for the encounter always visible is still an important desired feature.

My reasoning for this feature is that it would (and should) allow the possiblilty to run entire adventures from VCC without having to rely on other sources (except dungeon maps etc unless of course, you could have a drop down menu to view dungeon map image??). This could make VCC not just a combat tracker, but a complete resource for each encounter for the DM to run the game from.

Of course, an absolute necessity would be the ability to save encounter files so that the prep work is done before the game begins and no copying text files and pasting into VCC during the game play would be required...

Unfortunately I have no programming knowledge and so if what I'm requesting is too extreme or far too difficult to implement then that is the reason..

I created a feature request for this #88: Have acting Combatant informationation available at all time. This was something I have had in mind for a long time. Please comment on the feature request.

As for the idea of a drop-down of what should be seen it's a good idea.

The new file formats will have a text area to allows DM to place data prior to the came (see #53: Refactor data files).

The feature is not terrible, but it requires several small moves in the correct direction.

The internal logic for adding a combat level comment field has been implemented. Need to add panel for this.

This feature has been implemented and will be release on version 1.3.0.

Added to version 1.3.0.
