Path Planner Tabs, and Back and Forward Gestures

Open michaelk036 opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

I have been having issues with PathPlanner, specifically not being able to switch between multiple Paths and Autos, while being able to go back and forth in 1 mouse click. This becomes really frustrating over time. Also, my mouse has back and forward buttons, and whenever I click them they don't work within PathPlanner, which is also pretty frustrating.

The solution I would like for this is Web Browser - like tabs, which allow switching between multiple .path or .auto files. VS Code or IntelliJ or basically any other modern IDE has this as well. At least to me, this seems like a pretty simple feature that got over looked by the developers of this. Also, similar to a web browser back and forward buttons, and mouse back and forward gesture implementation would be fantastic.

Here's what I would ideally want: Image

Thank you, and I hope this gets implemented at some point. -Michael, Team 4048

I have run into that same thought many a times when using PathPlanner and I think it would be very beneficially to the overall experience of using PathPlanner and make PathPlanner more of a streamlined process

I like the idea of tabs, but it's definitely not a simple feature to implement. It would require a pretty major restructuring to get it to work. So, this will be a feature I'll target for next year.

Thankyou, I hope this feature gets implemented at some point before next season. 😁
