Thoughts? Preferred features/changes?

Things I'd like to change/add personally, but would like some input on what to change some to:

Sort the race list alphabetically. It's sorted currently directly from what i dumped from the game's source.
Sort Hair/Fur colors more intelligently, with similar shades next to each other.
Reset button to swap back to the tags on the file.
Keyboard shortcuts. Enter to apply, pageup/pagedown to select previous/next image?
Additional attributes (eye color, etc.)
Display the Body and Portrait images
Remember last directory

Rather than sort it automatically, have it draw from a separate txt file (that it be ordered to store directly from the source). That way, people can add races to the list as they mod, and choose the order that the races are presented.

If you do have similar shades of hair/fur colors, have the shades demonstrated in the writing.

Reset button and keyboard shortcuts are always good. Keyboard shortcuts be customized as well, per user preference?

Regarding eye color, I don't have any preference, but others probably will.

Remember last directory would be a definite yes please.

Display Body and Portrait I will have to get back to you on, I have to wait for my computer to allow finishing downloading the program to test.

Just a heads up. The browse feature is not working for me. When I select another directory with images, the editor no longer loads the images on Roaming\Strive but it doesnt load the images on the selected directory either. It also doesnt display the new directory next to the browse button as well, but instead keeps displaying Roaming\Strive. Ive tried multiple things such as another hard drive, moving the editor to the same directory, renaming the images and putting them inside the games folder structure(Strive\bodies or portraits\) within the selected directory (which shouldnt be necessary anyway). Yet nothing worked.

Here is my wish list aside from some things you already mentioned:

Eye color tab next to hair color
A small rectangle/circle next to the eye/hair colors tags displaying its respective color. Alternatively you could add the colors as background to the tags 'box'(the area highlighted by the mouse).
~~A small "special attributes" tab to add simplified tags such as Horns, Wings, Tail, NonHumanEars, and any others that I may be missing.~~
Turn gray all tags added by folder names and make them uncheckable. Alternatively you could make it so that checking sex, race and age tags would move the image to a different proper directory, but this probably wouldnt work well with everyone using their own folder structure.
Instead of a red font for non-standard race colors how about darkish yellow or orange? This is because the red font color often signifies something that must not be used/done to the point that doing so can potentially cause conflicts or crashes. Its not that heavy of an issue here.
Image selection(should work like windows does it for files/folders):
Left mouse click to select 1 image
Shift+Left mouse click to select all images starting from the previously selected one to the last selected one
Ctrl+Left mouse click to add 1 image to current selection
Add a '# images selected' text

Keyboard Shortcuts (based on the current editor layout):
Enter to apply, pagedown/DOWN for next image, pageup/UP for previous image, RIGHT for fist image from the next race, LEFT for first image from the previous race, Backspace to restore last saved tags, Delete to remove all tags(excluding the ones set by folder names)

Is that directory one that contains Bodies and Portraits subfolders? If not, it won't find anything. If yes, then do they have matching files?

Basically, this will show the file:

<dir>\Bodies\blah.png
<dir>\Portraits\blah.png

However, if only one of those files exists, it won't show up in the list. Or if there's no Bodies folder, then nothing will show up, and might even error/crash.

It already does this.

Some of those other changes I can do, but some I don't know if i'll bother with (like treating folder names differently than any other text in the path).

Nah theres no need for that indeed, since it already relocates the files every time a change in those tags is done. I actually noticed this soon after I posted my comment but forgot to edit sorry about that.

As for the directory issue the problem was that I didn't had 2 matching files for bodies and portraits. Since the editor will have an option to create portraits selected from a whole body image, I had neglected to put images in the portraits folder.

While Im at it, though I didnt want to post it in this thread, your most recent version of the mod is buggy. It no longer has the random portrait button and males show up with female images.

Latest version works, but you need to be using 0.5.18d, Behavior of AddTo for mods was changed so 0.6 didn't work with 0.5.18d.

Selecting a portrait for an image is a longer-term feature as that'll mean some image editing capabilities. Not sure if/when that'll actually make it in.
