New Minor Update: Roll Buttons, Everywhere!

It seems like a common request has been to have roll buttons scattered throughout the app that make it a little easier to roll macros/abilities right from where you are. We just pushed out an update that adds this. There's now: - Roll buttons next to macros in the macros listing, so even if a macro isn't on your macro bar you can click to roll it from there. - A "Test Macro" button underneath the macro edit box, which will test the macro right away so you can see if it works without having to click "Save Changes" and then type it in. Note that clicking Test Macro doesn't save the change, so you still have to click "Save Changes" when you're done to finalize. - Roll buttons alongside the abilities listing when viewing a Character, so you/your players can quickly roll abilities with a button-click right from the Character sheet. - Roll buttons inside the abilities editing for the Character editor, so you can roll an ability while you are editing it to test it out (same effect as the Test Macro button, so remember to Save Changes to finalize). Hopefully these speed things up a bit :-) - RD
Whooo hoo! I do love buttons! In all seriousness, I think this will be helpful. Especially the buttons next to the macros. As a DM, I saw my macro bar get really cluttered in a hurry. But then again, the first couple of times, I made macros for *everything.* Thanks for listening to us, Devs.

Loving it too. This makes the whole setup cleaner. So you can add the abilities you use the most to the macro bar, but still have the ability to roll the least used ones. Makes it nice for making those GM NPCs too. Thanks! Hopefully this will make it to the normal server soon?
Yeah it should be out on the main server tomorrow.
This is very well implemented; even using the already existing Dice Roller window icon as button for rolling dice is a very good choice.
Just in time for my D&D game on Saturday! Will test it out today though in prep for tomorrow.
Looks great. Just wish we could have the chat window as a free floating re-sizable window now. :)
The background images & map window could be a floating re-sizable window as well :-P
This is now out on the main server as well. Enjoy!
