New program (I'm bored...)

I didn't get feedback on V2 (yet) , so I made this to pass the time:

Mind, it's still a very early version. It can be used to fast and easily clone a trigger as many times as you wish, and optionally make each copy use unique teamtypes, etc. It can also quickly remove unneeded triggers, or modify existing ones. I do think it's function is a bit different from that of V2, that's why I didn't incorporate this into V2. It's not a big thing, but it surely reduces the amount of copy-paste you have to do.
Comments? Any other ideas? I'm still very bored, and I still don't have feedback on V2, which I could fix...

That's an interesting thing. It gives a nice vision of all triggers and seems to make editing quite faster. I like the layout. I just wonder about what does that Select Font button is doing there O.o? Anyway, how does the Manage mode works?

And... Sorry for not submitting any feedback yet, but I still didnt need to edit any ai.ini in these days. However, when I need to edit it, I'll use your program and submit feedback.

Edit mode: you get an Excel-style sheet, where you can edit each cell (F2), with that TaskForce Dropdown at the top.
Manage mode: you get a read-only sheet, where you can't edit any text, you automatically select full rows instead of cells, and then you can clone/delete them (clone/delete trigger doesn't work in edit mode).
Select Font: The screenshot was taken at 1024x768, and it still doesn't fit <-->. If you want, you can change the font into something like MS Serif which takes up less space horizontally, but loses the beauty of everything being perfectly aligned for reference. The default is Courier New size 8.

Cool stuff! IMHO, you could implement it as a tool inside the AI editor.

He's right... stick this nifty app it into AI editor. I think this is really useful because those darned triggers are all 20 numbers seperated by commas... an app like this would really make it easier to work on.
