Instead of the hard-to-find button that opens a radial menu with numbers, why not just be able to click a button that says «Define Table» and it opens a window where you input XdX (2d6, 3d10, 474d383, 4d10+1d6) and you’re set? Instead of the non-intuitive numbers. Half the time I make a table I don’t want.

Why not fix it so if you type the dice at the top of the window before you enter any rows it sets the row size of table? Then you wouldn’t need to answer a separate dialog. The other thing is that the dice roll and number of rows aren’t always one to one

You need more the just the dice value to create a table. Entering dice of 1d4 for example does not necessarily mean that you want a table of 4 rows. You might only want to with the first entry being 1-3 and the second being 4-4. So how a table looks will depend very much on what the table you are creating is for. Thus the radial menu tries to go somewhere towards that by asking for the rows and step. I usually don't bother with the radial men and just create a basic table with one column and two rows and just add rows and columns as I need them.

And the wishlist is always the best place to make product enhancement suggestions.
