Request New Feature: SensorPanel Manager: Enhanced Font Handling (Recent Fonts, Font Groups, Rename, Delete names Etc.)

[Surjeet]

Hi AIDA Team,

We all really LOVED the new colour picker dialogue which is an awesome feature addition to next generation of AIDA. I was thinking can we add something same for the Font picker too? Right now we have drop drop from where we need to use the font. Let the functionality remain the same.

Here are a few suggestions that could enhance the Font Picker:

• Introduce sections such as "Recent Fonts" and "Favourite Fonts" with options to Add, Save, Rename, Delete, and Clear
• Display fonts using their initials (or small names/abbreviations in boxes, with customized names appearing on mouse hover
• Optionally, integrate these customized fonts into the Right Click Context Menu, similar to the one used in the Colour Picker - which is absolutely fantastic, by the way!

I completely understand that this could be a substantial and complex feature to implement. Still, I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or any feedback on the feasibility of this idea.

Thank you so much for your continued efforts and brilliant innovations!

I support this new update because I believe it can make the experience faster and more intuitive. While I'm at it, I'd like to suggest adding a search field to make it easier to find specific fonts. When the list is long, manually searching becomes tiresome. 😁

I like this idea too. With this feature, I can easily select or add my most frequently used fonts without browsing through the drop-down list or keying in the first few characters to find the font names.

I agree and onboard that this feature will make things easy and attractive at the same time!

Lets see, what @Fiery has to say regarding this new feature. If it is worth? do-able and can be implemented or not? Let's wait for his precious inputs. Fingers crossed 🤞

[Surjeet]

Hi @Fiery, please let us know if this idea is worth and can be implemented.

Even if it can not be implemented, we are good; however, need your final decision 🙏

I forgot to respond to this and I apologize for that. I don't have a need for such a reform. Of course, I won't oppose it if it happens.

I like the idea, but it's not something we'd put at high priority, especially through the summer where we have limited resources due to folks being on vacation left and right  We've categorized this as a future improvement idea that we may work on later on.

Thank you for the update and considering this idea!

We completely understand and will keep an eye out for when this improvement idea is implemented in the future!
