Text Layer

[fabiocm]

Is there some plan to add a text layer in the editor?

It is currently a feature request in our system; but is not currently planned for implementation.

Please! Add text or labels to images (maps) would be so useful!

Glad to hear its on the internal list. It also on the Wish List; https://fg2app.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=40911

Semi-correlated query: does the FGU architecture leave open a door for form-fillable PDFs (for custom game systems) in the future? Or something that could be handled by an extension. I think I know the answer, due to how assets are managed, but it never hurt to ask!

Probably... but given a character sheet is basically a form fillable layout, I don't know why the devs would spend time supporting such. Perhaps you have a use case?

Purely an aesthetic thing. I have my own CS for a custom game system and have considered just having my beta-testers just reference it directly and make macros, rather than using built FGU character sheets (in this case, MoreCore). I can already do this by just importing the sheets as an image or having my players alt-tab into another program to reference, but the form-fillable part would save us hassle as stats are dynamic. Not a big thing, just something I was curious about. And I might still prefer to work with Damien's awesome MoreCore...if I can ever increase my mastery of it enough to make it work with my system's math.

Ok, I get it. But how are all those fields on the PDF actually going to help any automation? They need to all be database fields. Sure, you can do that with a PDF, but their are shortcomings, and it would effectively be building a second interface and data object definition. Someone might look to do it with an extension, but otherwise it seems easier to just build a charactersheet builder :)
