[REQ]PROP tool default value not zero

    When edit properties, the initial value in the textbox is the current value of the element(s) you're editing

    If you're editing a pile of elements, the value is that of the element under your mouse.

    Or at least, leave it empty

     

    Why
    (In WIFI channel designing)

    Woo, this wifi is on the wrong channel...select PROP, move the mouse before '0' then click, hit delete, type '9255', enter.

    Woo, it's one channel higher, let's change 9255 to 9155...nop, I have to move the mouse before '0' then click, hit delete, type '9155', enter.

    Woo, it's still one channel higher, let's...nop, still have to move the mouse before '0' then click, hit delete, type '9055', enter.

    I agree, I don't see why it can't use the values of the particle picked before changing them.

    How about something like a table where it displays every value of each property and the value is aditable of course.

     

    type     | dust

    life       | 0

    ctype   | none

    temp C | 21.00

    temp K | 294.15

    tmp     | 0

    ....

    ...

    etc.

     

    All the values would be in textboxes and editable.

    (temp C is temperature in Celsius, temp K the temperature if Kelvin and temp C would change automatically if you change temp K)

     

    Edit: Or you have the option to switch between Kelvin and Celsius so all the temperatures you enter in lua and the temperatures are either in Kelvin or Celsius.

    Good idea! the PROP is also an vinformation tool then

    But if we have more and more properties in the future, maybe is not possible to show they all in one screen...we can use multi-pages though
