Lay out unit places
Could do with showing the px size of the unit & its zoom size from the map.properties file, before placment
Need to show the direction of unit overflow of the last unit in a TT/SZ. The default is to the Right, but depending on where the last unit appears in the TT/SZ the mapmaker might want to the left.
Using a toggle say ctrl+O to switch between Right and Left overflow.
On screen an arrow should indicate the current overflow direction.
In place.txt overflow is seen as
| overflowToLeft=true (overflows to the left)
| overflowToLeft=false (default, no need to show as overflows to the right)
The ability to add one more placment in the selected TT/SZ
The ability to remove, highlighted placment.
Current mapmakers are used to these, but maybe a right click menu is the way to go? (even for the toggle)

Wish list questions
As the placement is based off center location it would be great if the app suggested moving the center coordinates to fit in more placments?
What value upto would work, 27px as this is half the maximum height of the unit?
Would the reiterations take to long? If so reduce the maximum pixels to move.
If it made a suggestion then an option to do it. (right click menu option do it)
.
Save
Before each save in Expert mode, a mapmaker needs to know what is going to be saved.
This is critical if you accidentally change something unintended or forget you have changed something.
A section that you can tick as read only/Dont save for each of the files to be saved.
Especially the. xml as it messes with the order and formatting.
The app should remember these setting from last save
.
Places (should be sorted & grouped, here is a suggested order)
Units
---
Capitals – I prefer a yellow star, not C
Centers
Comments
Decorations
Names
PUs – should show the PU value as well as P, eg 6P
Terrain Effects
Victory Cities/Centers
---
Blockade
Convoy
Kamikazi
Places Options
Right Click on TT/SZ for a menu to add/remove the items shown
Left drag to move the selected item
When there is no file or nothing to display, against the selection it should say None)

The map gets shoved down and I lose my train of thought.
There is a space reserved for shoving the map down to display things, like

Can this space be reserved by moving up/compressing the ‘white’ space above the map, so the map does not move, please, pretty please.
Yes this space will be ‘white’ space, but its better than moving the map.
