[Photon UI] Feature Preview - Multiple Overviews Feedback Thread

Not sure if this is the right place to complain, but can we have the option to disable d-scan filters back? Preferably somewhere at the top of the selection?
There are times when i wanna know what my current-overview-filter just filtered out, without going through all possible other filters

Just tried using multiple overviews for the first time.
First, a more clear way to open a new window would be great. Had to google and find a video to find out i had to right click on the tab and move to a new window.
Second, an easier way to reorder tabs, instead of having to copy paste and change settings.
Third, single overview and multi overview don’t seem to save tabs page settings between them, which leads me to an issue i found.

When trying to edit overview settings in multiple overview, my pc seems to be throttling down and the ui becomes almost unusable. Almost as if i’ve clicked out of my client on to my other monitor. With issue 3 above this becomes quite problematic to adjust the settings.

Nice feature,

Please add ‘Stop showing all bracket’ back,
Brackets settings was
-Show all Brackets
-Hide all Brackets
-Stop Showing all Brackets

Hello, I recently tried to use the new UI (Photon Plan), but I found that the font of the new UI was too white and bright when getting the task description, resulting in very dazzling. I hope we can improve it to make it less dazzling.

this is all wrong, show all or some derivative was always second on my drop down list; this is 100% important af to me for the usability of dscan but you guys seem to have mussed it up for some reason and i cant for the life of me figure out how to change it back…


desperately need to be able to order those filters for my use… currently its just a long list of changes that messes with hunting other players… which is awkward as im in facwar and frequent wh’s… well did frequent wh’s with this change its made that a true ballache…

PS really dislike new overview style but i guess i cant change that either…

Today’s the day. To start, the incompatibility with z-s has caused me to completely reset my overview settings and start over (the incompatibility being I now have too many filters to make sense of the edit overview experience). This is after multiple attempts at using multiple overviews (see other feedback above)

Two major quality of life enhancements would be:

  1. Reorder overview tabs - if you delete a tab they collapse, and if you want a new tab in #1 or #3 position (or wherever) you need to edit all tabs that follow. Wasn’t much of an issue before, but now that we can throw tabs around from window to window position is important.

  2. Rename filters - too many filters is already a challenge, and if you misname, or actively change your filters a lot (like some of us do!) you will end up with a ton of duplicates/filters. And, it seems like too many filters cause client performance issues even for top performing machines.

  3. Bonus “third” major quality of life enhancement: let us apply these overviews to all accounts without hacking the eve profile settings. Fixing the overview on multiple accounts is anxiety inducing.

Feedback:

  • Today’s update caused empty tabs for anyone who had color tags in their tab names. Ouch.

  • I’ve said it above, and I maintain filter-by-value is better than filter-by-reference. I want to fine-tune tabs, not filters. Editing a tab can inadvertently cause changes to other tabs because you’re actually editing filters which is weird (to me because I don’t see the benefits of the same filter on multiple tabs).

  • Dscan is still broken. What good is multiple overviews if it doesn’t remember what overview you had selected after dock/undock? This is a broken feature that will cause people to lose ships, so I expect people who pvp to never use it. Like, literally you could undock into a major cap fight happening on your structure and not know it because your default overview is some random ‘planet scan thing’ you created while exploring. AND, because it’s the last thing you created, not the last thing you used, it will be the default overview when you undock.

  • More color options please - I prefer the z-s light-blue over the blue provided. Also, can we get a purple? And, would love to have colors for filters. Seems like new filters cannot have colors?

  • Overview column width changes cause the text alignment to jump after rendering, and it’s jarring because I’m tuned to notice changes in the overview, and this is a change/render I wish I didn’t have to ignore.

That’s it for now, thanks.
