Hi, I like the ability to use quick templates, they are very powerful, and theyre one of the reasons I purchased The Bat.
Im starting to use more and more of them, and Im noticiing theyre becoming a little cumbersome to organise.
Just a few questions...
Please could you consider, in future versions, the ability to arrange quick templates into an hierarchy. These could appear as cascading menu items on the quick templates button, and allow me to organise templates into categories (at the moment the list is unordered and its quick difficult to find the template you want).
Imagine someone offering email technical support, customer service etc. A lot of the replies are mundane and repetetive. The templates are ideal for this, but it would be nice to seperate these two things into groups of templates. Ok, I think you get the idea
Another suggestion/question:
When creating a new quick template, I dont understand the purpose of the 'Handle' field. It seems as though its just a way to force the user to type a unique ID into there, to help the Bat to organise templates.
My question is, why cant The Bat just generate an internal ID, and hide that field from the interface?
Then the quick templates menu could simply show the description. The handle always looks ugly, and I think this would make for an easier user experience, and also a cleaner interface
I hope you dont see this as nitpicking. Im still very pleased with The Bat and the power it offers.
Thanks
Paul
