In the next update now in Templot2  I have removed the clunky remembered groups function and replaced it with a tagging system. Tags are enclosed in square brackets and prefixed on the name labels. Being part of the name label means that the tags are saved in the .box file (unlike remembered groups):

This also makes them visible on the trackpad and easily edited manually if required.

Normally however, tags will be added using the new group tagging functions:

and the functions for each template:

2_011926_410000000.png2_011926_410000000.png

These new functions will be especially useful for formations created from multiple partial templates, for example a tandem turnout formation. If all those templates are grouped they can be quickly tagged for example "yard tandem". Then to recreate that group at any time would need only a click on "yard tandem" in the tags list sub-menu.

In the next update.

regards,

Martin.

Well now I have tried it and it is every bit as good as I hoped :thumb:

Well done Martin!

Perhaps also just to remind people that an easy way to select a small partial template is to hold Shift down and hover over the name labels then click when you find the right one.  'Course, everyone else knew that all along but it came as a revelation to me!

Cheers,

Howard
