Measure on move

Hi, I am a longtime Maptool user, play in 2 different groups, and just bought a month sub here, to see if this will be a viable alternative for us. I have to say I am really impressed with some of the things you have here. There are a few primary things right now that will really make the difference for whether my groups switch over to Roll20 or not. I'll post each request in a seperate discussion to keep things cleaner. The measuring tool is useful, but I suggest adding an automatic distance-count-on-drag. This will speed up play as well as map creation, if you have to measure with a seperate tool before you move your token or draw a line it just takes twice as long for each such move. Thanks. Clint
Another separate but supporting feature for this: Click and drag a token to start a real time count of how far he has traveled (post above)... Add to this the ability to insert waypoints along the path. This allows a user to drag and plot his course, including multiple turns around corners and such. Less important than just having a counter but would also be nice. The more I play with your tool the more I think I will be trying to convince both my groups to switch to roll20. Thanks. Clint

I couldn't agree more, I have never (successfully) used maptools but this functionality sounds perfect.
Thirded. (Actually twelfth'd if the vote counter is any indication :P )

If this is considered, then have it as an Option to do it, not automatically done. Much like the Dynamic lighting check box and such. Just for people that might not have the resources on their computer for extra fluff like this. I do like the Idea though, could be very helpful in certain situations.
