forget to save

Hate to be "that guy" but... There's your problem.

I don't have these problems because I save obsessively. (If anything, I have the issue that backups are too recent...) But on the other hand, I don't edit anything inside Slade if I can help it. Just using it for packing files you've got stored externally is pretty data safe.

I know ZScript is heavily WIP but can we get some coloured highlighting for ZScript stuff? Even if it just uses the C++ highlighter is better than nothing...

Is there a way to remove duplicate files with the same name? If not, is there a chance to see this as a new feature? It helps a lot to not have to scroll through 300 textures to find duplicates.

I don't think there is one, other than sorting by name and going over it by eye/hand.

It's not a problem if it were only a few textures, but we're talking about a whole truck of them. Would love to see an option to do that. Of course, there is the issue of multiple non-texture lumps...some authors do that for some reason.

I think there is actually. Go to the Archive menu --> Maintenance --> Check Duplicate Entry Names.

There's also Check Duplicate Entry Content, which is great when you're merging Texture Packs that might have some overlap (but use different names).

Small annoyance: the map editor displays the Frost Shards sprite for Arc of Death in Hexen.

Killer! Thanks, man! That's gonna save a lot of time!

On 3.1.1.4, having the PNAMES list sorted by name, I try to change a patch but it is like another one is selected! I have to avoid this bug by not using sorting.

Can anyone confirm this?

[Accensus]

Will it be possible to move directories up and down like entries? If there is such a method already, does anyone know how?

[Rachael]

Even if you could, ZDoom reads everything in exactly alphabetical order, so folder order will not matter.

[Accensus]

It's for aesthetics. Same thing with the other entries. I usually like to have Decorate on top, then Sounds, then the rest. More active entires that get most edits are usually on top, so I don't have to search all over the root folder.

You can use a prefix to take advantage of alphabetical sorting.
