Feature: Cascade Windows

[Atmotaye]

Cascade Windows
This extension is based on the original Close Windows extension by Justin Freitas. It adds a new feature to cascade all open windows in Fantasy Grounds VTT, making it easier to manage multiple windows at once. It is compatible to load both extensions.

This extension adds a new feature to cascade all open windows in Fantasy Grounds VTT, making it easier to manage multiple windows at once. It works on both host/DM and client/player, with each being able to tailor their own settings. Use the chat command /ccw or /cascadewindows if you want to type it or drag it to the hotbar. Use the sidebar button to cascade your open windows.

Just FYI, in Forge you have it as an unlisted Product 64369. it is helpful to list what systems the extension works on (core, 5e, PFrpg...)

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve added the rulesets I’ve done testing with.

In an empty compaign with only this extensionloaded
all options at Off as per default
have a slection of windows open in various places
/cascadewindows in chat pops up the list of valid chat commands and does nothing
/ccw is taken in chat but nothing changes with my open windows
Is it ONLY available in TEST channel for current versions?
[UPDATE]
Tried in test with same result, doesnt appear to do anything

Thanks for the feedback, looking into this bug now. It is available on LIVE now but I will be publishing the candidate to fix this to TEST when it is ready and post here.

Cascade Windows v1.2.1

Pushing this build to LIVE quickly for fixes to game breaking bugs with the extension.
Please provide feedback in this thread.

[charmov]

thanks for the fix! I have a suggestion that may or may not be within the scope of this extension. Pinning and unpinning windows such as the combat tracker or storybook could be useful for clumsy, impatient people that sometimes drag it across the screen due to lag or whatever. Maybe an option in the drop-down? cheers!

[Atmotaye]

In the options menu it is possible to have Cascade Windows ignore certain windows you have open. Currently you can ignore the party sheet (PS) and the combat tracker (CT) which works on both the host and the client so whereever those windows are they will stay. The option to ignore Tools and Library work to prevent the top level windows from those sidebar categories from moving as well. Improving both the representation of what these options do more clearly and adjusting the options is on the short list of improvements I am looking to introduce.
As always, thank you for the feedback!
