[QUOTE="Bunbersnatch, post: 5397270, member: 95601"] Yup, especially as the levels go up! My aim with TT is to track the most important stuff with as few clicks as possible. Excellent! I am very interested in feedback, especially from test play. And I would like to keep the discussion public. Since these posts will eventually be lost under the volume on this site I plan to setup a forum on 4eturntracker.com. But for the moment we can stick to this post. I agree they need to be sorted better. Grouping should not be a problem. I can put buttons in different palettes or add dividers as you suggest. The groups are not entirely clear to me though. For example, the 3 buttons on the left. If they did not work for you in an encounter, then that would be a bug. You should be able to use them to add party members, add a monster or even merge encounters while an encounter is running. Only the "Next Turn", "Delay Turn", "Ready Action" and "Jump In" are encounter only buttons. And "Extended Rest" and "Short Rest" are non-encounter buttons. Nevertheless, improvement is definitely possible. What do you think of the following division? [LIST] [*]Group 1: Select Party, Load Encounter, Add Monster, Show/Hide Players Window [*]Group 2: Step Back, Start/Stop Encounter, Step Forward, Next Turn, Delay Turn, Ready Action, Jump In [*]Group 3: Apply Effects, Hide Creature, Short Rest, Extended Rest [/LIST] Good idea!
