Hi Sierra Chart devs, As I get deeper into Sierra Chart, I am generally happy with the way things are done but I feel immensely uncertain when looking for a specific setting. Did I miss it? Did I look in the right tab of the right window? A suggestion I'd like to make is make settings searchable. There are two levels to this: 1. In the help menu, you can have someone type in the setting they are looking for. An example of how Mac does it is here: https://youtu.be/dBcAdU0cF5k?t=25 - I've also attached a screenshot 2. In the window for the study settings, have a textbox that lets users filter for the setting they are looking for. An example is here: https://youtu.be/DzXmAKdEYIs?t=10 - I've also attached a screenshot This means that new users would be less likely to feel overwhelmed and know they could fall back to search for keywords in the user interface. With Windows API, it isn't "super hard" to enumerate the relevant user interface elements and build a searchable in memory list so hopefully this wouldn't be very difficult to implement. If you choose to do it, please just do it in a way that it still works with Wine ;-) I'm aware that I can use a web search to search the documentation and this is helpful and consistent, but is really, really inefficient and only useful when I am desperate. Doesn't give a good feeling... Thanks! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-12-24 03:27:42
