Autorefresh?

(1/2) > >>

Jeltz:
It seems strange, but searching for a similar request yielded no results: would it be possible to implement an "autorefresh" function for open/background windows? I think it would benefit the QOL.

Doesn't this already exist?

Ah actually, if you tick the box "keep all windows assigned to race", then everything refreshes automatically when you switch which race you're playing. I've been doing multi-faction games for so long that I forgot that in normal play, the windows do not automatically refresh if you keep them open.

It exists for some windows but is not consistent across all of them.

I added the important windows, like Tactical Map, Fleets, Economics and Events, but didn't want to get into checking every conceivable window to see if any are open and adding the refresh code to each one. Partly because its a lot of work for situations that often won't matter anyway, and partly because refreshing all open windows slows the game down a lot between increments.

Steve, what about adding a "Refresh" button in the windows, like the "Refresh Tech" one in the "Class Design" window?
In particular in the "Commanders" window, this would be useful, because this window seems not taking into account the retirements/deaths of commanders.
