It's nice to be able to look through and see who's still around that I recruited and what they're doing. By this point, the majority of those have CTE'd, but not all CTE's are permanent, so I'd really prefer there not to be an auto-prune for them...

It occurs to me that I probably should go through and clean that out a bit. <_<

EDIT: Also, I was just thinking... would it be possible to add a drop-down sort menu to the dossier? That would be fantastic... so we could sort by whether they had CTE'd or not (making Dossier trimming easier to do) and WA status (delegates, members, non-members)?

EDIT2: A Dossier export feature would be incredibly useful, too (she says as she copies 173 pages by hand).

EDIT3: Or failing that, an option to display more than 15 nations on a page at a time.


I wouldn't mind a "Search" feature, or a button on a national spotlight page to remove nations from your dossier.

If we had a drop-down box for display options ("15 nations per page", "30 nations per page", "60 nations per page", "Show all on one page"), we could use Ctrl+F rather than a Search, which would save the server some effort.

But I'd still like a sortable list for the WA/non-WA, etc. I suppose that would be easier to implement with a database rather than a flat file, though.

Agreed on the remove nation button, though I suspect I would never use it. I like having as much data available as possible (obviously...) just in case it might come in handy.

(I've added an EDIT4 since you posted that, btw. :oops: )

EDIT: CTE'd nations removed, I'm down to 32 pages.

OK, I bumped the limits to 2500 nations & 1000 regions, and it no longer silently drops entries, but rather tells you it's full.

Sorting: Anything that requires loading all the nations in your Dossier is essentially impractical to sort on, alas. That means anything but name.
