Request - Add Description field when viewing Entry Contents of THINGS
SLADE Version: (3.1.11) Operating System: (Windows/Linux/OSX)
Issue Details: Currently when viewing the Entry Contents of THINGS in SLADE, you are provided the X Position, Y Position, Direction, Type, and Flags. I think it would also be helpful to provide the (non-editable) Description of each Thing in this window, which is provided if you view the map in the Map Editor. Attached are example screenshots of what you currently see and what is proposed. Thanks.
Current:

Proposed:

The problem is that the data view is a generic view, whereas thing types are tied to a game configuration (type 123 is different depending on the game). It could technically be done I guess (would need a game config selector, or just use whatever is currently loaded), but it wouldn't be a high priority
I've found this issue after opening SLADE3 and finding no such filter option in the general WAD browser (can't search "Spiderdemon", have to search "SPID").
I'm thinking this would require per-WAD databases for SLADE3 to check against. It would be easy enough to create them, just time consuming. One column for Index/Name, another column for Description. Or maybe leverage whatever database Doom Builder 2 uses.
