Allow merge tabs anywhere on map

Sun May 06, 2007 10:29 am

When clicking on a region to see all the units, I often move to another location on the map where I want to move them. Even though you can still see the original list of units, you cannot drag and drop or merge the tabs of units unless you go back to their region.

Any way to improve this and make it easier?

I have no problem doing this, with a small exception from time to time for units located inside structures.

No problem swicthing tab, moving units from tab to tab or merging tabs.

You can merge the tabs only if you are viewing that specific region where the units are.

Try moving your map to a different location, where you might want to move them, and then try to merge the tabs. I can't do it. Won't let me.

I've never had a problem doing it, no matter where the map is centered. I can see how not being able to do it would be an issue though, since it's pretty much indispensable for me.

Is it possible to make the glowing red merging icon bigger?
It is sometimes difficult to see when the icon is present.

Made a test example:
This is the original file, it is 32x32 pixels (cusror-merge.png)screenshots are a bit blurry
Image
Here is a 64x64 pixel version
Image
If someone wants test it, here is the 64x64 image(try Right-Click, Save Picture as... cusror-merge.png) save to C:\Program Files\AGEod's American Civil War\ACW\Graphics\Cursors
Image
Try downloading it from here(don't know if this will work for download):
