New features I'd like to see ....
Okay, here's a little more expansion on my chartwindow placement suggestion ...
Within each workspace, allow the creation of a "Chart Manager". This window will contain a list of all the symbols in that workspace with a checkbox next to each one. In addition, there should be the ability to "move" each Chart line up or down using arrow keys similar to those that allow you to configure the status line fields. The position in the list should determine the order in which charts are tiled or stacked on the desktop.
At the bottom of the Chart Manager window is a button that sets all the charts that are checked to the user-defined default chart attributes and the user-defined default study template as is currently provided. You could also delete all that are checked or hide them. Hiding them would be nice if you just want to temporarily not see them, but don't want to get rid of them all together.
The main reason for all of this is that
1) when you get a lot of windows tiled on the screen, it's hard to find a specific window. It would be good to be able to reliably place a specific window in a specific location so when you auto-arrange, the order isn't upset.
2) If you've already defined many many windows with custom inputs to a collection of studies, it isn't so easy to apply a new study to a batch of charts. You have to configure each one separately. Or suppose you want to change the background on all your charts. You don't really want to delete the chart and add it again with new default chart attributes and study template because the chart you destroy likely contains custom input information for your studies and they will be lost when you destroy it. Hence, you have to go in, one by one, and change all the chart backgrounds manually. The current "default" settings are great for creating new charts. They don't really help you much in customizing a whole batch of existing charts.
I'm not sure about the paradigm of creating a new Chart Manager window, just as I'm not sure about the paradigm of creating new Quote Manager windows. Seems like you can delete Quote Manager windows without penalty or damage after you're done with them, and they take up precious screen space. But maybe I'm still too new at this to appreciate their significance. Please warn me if I'm getting in trouble by not appreciating them as much as I should.
