Description

The object selection window is getting a bit cluttered.

Currently, it contains the following information under the thumbnail:

  • Vehicle name
  • Vehicle description

And the following information at the bottom right (if debugging tools are on):

  • Ride types
  • First source game
  • Filename
  • Authors

I propose changing this. Under the thumbnail, it should list:

  • Vehicle name
  • Vehicle description
  • Ride types (every type on its own line)
  • Source games (every game on its own line)
  • Authors

And if debugging tools are on, it should display the filename in the bottom right.

Research direction

Start by locating the object selection window and its current thumbnail and bottom-right information areas. Reorganise the displayed fields as described, putting ride types and source games on separate lines under the thumbnail and leaving only the filename in the debug area; verify both debug-enabled and normal views.
