It would be nice if each item listed in major updates (like the one the other night) had a video associated with it to know exactly what the change is, from what I can tell this change:

* Character sheet portraits and NPC tokens updated to open detail window on click to support future alternate tokens and NPC pictures.

Means, when I click on the token for an NPC, I get a "full body" and "flat" slot. By flat, I assume you mean "top view". It is good that I can now put two different tokens for an NPC (for instance one for missile and one for melee) and switch them fairly easily. However, I assume the "Full body" slot is meant to show what the creature looks like straight on, rather than from above. In the past, I have dragged an image record to the story then shared that with the party to show what the NPC looks like, this new feature seems to replace this, however, I don't see a way I can easily share this full body image with the party other than draggin the token to the map.

The detail window is meant to hold the following information:
* PC - portrait, token
* NPC - full body image, token

We have a prototype to add another field for a different image view that we're working on that will go into the empty slow in the detail window.

Also, I am also working on a way for GMs to share pictures, as we would like to add pictures as standard fields on many different record types. That will be coming in the next couple months. However, we needed a way to start populating that information across modules to get the ball rolling, in addition to the future image features.

Curiously, I can drag tokens onto the "Token - Flat" square and they sometimes. On other characters the same token when dragged does nothing.
This happens with no extensions loaded.
