I would find it very useful if double-clicking a macro’s icon would open up the icon chooser with the current icon — and in the case of a character icon, its properties — selected. There are two parts to this: open up the icon chooser if not already open and selecting the existing icon (and its properties).
Here is what I propose. There are three cases. The purpose of the suggested implementation is really for the third case, but it would be convenient for the second also.
- No (default) icon or user-pasted icon
- no-op — alert sound
- Internal or Applications icon
- select the Internal Applications tab of the Icon Chooser
- select the icon
- ensure selected icon is scrolled into view
- Character ion
- select the Character icon tab of the Icon Chooser
- select the double-clicked icon’s character
- set the shape to that of the double-clicked icon
- set the foreground and background colors to that of the double-clicked icon
- set the horizontal and vertical positions to that of the double-clicked icon
- set the size to that of the double-clicked icon
Opening the Icon Chooser the way it is currently done could mean “don’t select the double-clicked icon”.
One of the reasons to select the current Internal icon is that related icons are sometimes near the existing one in the chooser.
Case 3 is elaborate (see [Feature Request] Edit Macro Icon for a long discussion). I would find what I proposed above for selecting the character icon to be extremely useful for editing existing character icons. It would also solve problems I am having getting what KM is supposed to be doing to work, and I find what it is supposed to be doing to be awkward.
