Hi

i was making a level when i saw that the icons in the drop down menu showed wrong things
the bug is only showing when you have many things in the drop down menu.

ETC a door there have a door icon was showing an icon of a table.
And so on.
I have a screenshot here:





On that pic you see the chair icon is changed with a key card icon.
and the other things you see

This is a bug i think.

looks weird... Well I'm just getting to know the program, and so far it's very cool!
But I haven't seen anything like that yet.

I'll try and see if the same happens here.

that almost looks like when you dont have enough memory in your system left and windows starts using icons that it has already loaded for new ones because it can't load any more.

Possibly, because my computer seems to have no problems with the software.

This is an issue we found very hard to reproduce. Email your findings and persistence to mike@thegamecreators.com who is responsible for this side of things. If he can reproduce it, he can fix it!

talking about the icons there:

Are we able to in some way clear the library?
It gets annoying when I have a pile of things in the library, that I only use one time, and then they just stands there, looking at me...
So have I missed something, ARE we able to clear the library?
Or will we then be able to soon at least?

Agreed. The library needs an overhaul. Even if your not having memory problems it still would get needlessly cluttered.

Possible types of solutions:

* collapsing items like the add new segment/entity dialog. Not sure how you would catagorize things.. most likely the same way as they are. For example entitiews library might look like
+ Common
+ SciFi
- WW2
+Characters
+FurnitureA
etc.

* library is text only (names of items) with a view portal at top or bottom which shows the icon when you click on the name. (bleh probably not user friendly at all)

* each library only holds the last X amount of items (where X is a reasonable size... maybe 20 or 30)

* you can CTRL+Left Mouseclick to remove an item from the library and may CTRL+ALT+Left Mouseclick to clear that whole library. This suggestion by itself or combined with any above would be a really big help.

yeah, especially the last one sounds reasonable...
