Some ideas and feedback

Hey SolarLune,

I just bought MasterPlan as I think it is what I was looking for to better plan my projects in one place.

While the program is already great I personally would like to list some feedback and stuff I would like to see, though I am aware that they may take a lot of time or may not be feasible at all.

Stacks
- a setting where you decide how stack children are counted (all children or only the direct children) (atm if you have a stack of 1. , 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, then the top parent says there are three tasks to do (personally I would like it to only say one as it only has one direct child, which is 1.1))
- it would be cool if you could collapse and unfold stacks
       - then it would be nice if moving a collapsed stack would move all stack children with it
- right-click on a card -> create -> choose type - to create a card as a stack child of the right-clicked card at the bottom of the direct children
- the ability to put cards into stacks (and the stacks then making space by themselves)

Maps
- it would be useful if you could name maps

Organization
- put names of parents and free flowing cards in a drop down menu. A window (like the file window and the create window) which collects all the main cards (for example: I click on checkbox in the window and a list opens with all main checkboxes, clicking on the name of a checkbox pans the camera towards it). Basically a more complex search function which collects all the different cards in categories, to help users who can't find a card with the search function
- should the above function be added it could help users even further if they could add tags to cards and the window shows these tags and creates lists of the tagged main cards
- a keyboard shortcut to pan the camera to the center

Visuals
- forms for the note card to create flow charts (I saw your TO-DO list mentions something similar? to this)
- though you can experiment to understand what the tools do, tool-tips would be nice (for the map and image tools)(you could let users turn of the tool-tips in the settings
- an option to toggle shadows (from the cards) on/off
- an option to toggle highlight lines from lines on/off

Yea, that's it from me. Hope this helps somehow ^^ though I know talking is easy.

With kind regards,

Kevin
