Open text field in battle calculator
-
I don't know about other players, but I often have multiple battle calcs open at the same time, and sometimes it's hard to remember which calc is for which scenario/battle. So if there were a way to have a simple text field where players could insert some text to identify the calcs, that would be great. Bonus points if it could also appear in the window header beside "Battle Calculator".

@freh the calc is a "troubled" item, i do not recomend having 2 calcs open at the same time, you can open a version of tripleA offline and calc. never calc during battles or while editing.

@SilverBullet first I hear of this! Thanks for letting me know. Is there an explanation somewhere of what the issues are?
-
@freh yes, the calcing while "editing" bug is well known, but i recommend do your calcing offline, and also, every faction should grab a "save' during their purchase phase, when the "build" screen appears, that gives you a reminder to grab a save.

@SilverBullet OK this is good, but even if I follow your advice and use an offline version of triplea, and have multiple calcs open to track different battles, it would be nice to be able to input some simple text to know which windows go with which territories/scenarios.
I have never used the calc while editing and I'm aware of the problem with the calc and subs when a game involved 2.1.x or earlier, and 2.2.x or later, so that isn't a worry.
I guess I just want to make sure that you aren't saying that the calc malfunctions, or is otherwise wrong, if I have more than one calc window open? Thanks for your info, it's helpful.

@freh no the calc itself is just a simple calculator, no issues, its mainly running it during editing or during battles.
