The following items have been requested as additional functionality:

Feature Requests: "Create A Creature Feature" - a screen where you pick an existing mini as a baseline and can modify all fields and save it as your own creature. I've gotten this request from a number of different players.

1) Campaign play - modify "leveled up" creatures
2) Experimentation, some people like to toy with "making their own minis"
3) Allow individuals to add a spoiler or two before set release, on their own (for example DoubtOfBudda ran a 3x Firebelcher band on Vassal last week, using LRD as a stand-in, and this would have allowed Bifur to support him in that)

"Map"
1) Add a map to a warband, since the map is an integral part of any warband
2) Comment / Notes saves with warband rather than having to re-enter each time
3) Map preview / selector (map images all available in Vassal mod file)

"Print Options"
1) Have several print reports available arranged by different criteria (instead of Commanders first then by cost, could list by faction first then cost, or cost only, etc)
2) Various export options (for example to post a band to a forum for review, email to a friend, etc.)

"Two At a Time"

1) Facilitate listing creatures for 2 warbands at once in Bifur. This is useful especially on Vassal, to pull stats on your and your opponent's warbands, but also live for some people who have laptops and portable printers.

Wishlist: add Print Setup option. I will occasionally use this at work where I have a dozen printers to choose from. It's a bit of a pain to have to change my default printer everytime I want to print a Bifur band.

Could we maybe get an "Are you sure?" dialogue box added to the "new warband" button? I'm a dumbass, and often click that button instead of the magnifying glass button -- which wipes out the warband I was just working on. There's a dialogue box on the "Faction" drop-down that does exactly the same thing as what I'm requesting be added to the new warband button, so I imagine the code isn't too hard to borrow from there. I know, I know, every time you try to make something idiot-proof, they invent a better idiot -- but could we at least make this idiot-resistant?

"My Collection" in Bifur doesn't include the D&D Basic game mini's. Which is some of my most used minis (hey cheap Orc Warriors, Warrior Skeletons, Amaril, Eberk & other goodies). Any chance those minis can be included .. perhaps in the Promo dataset?

Custom / modified minis builder (Campaign community really wants this - so they can "level up" their warlords and assign new names)
RPG information / reference (KBales generator has this info, could we borrow from him?)
Match logger (a user could enter history / journal of matches for future reference)
Functionality in the collection report - e.g. 58/60 DE, 80/80 Harbinger etc. so that during trades it is easier to find a needed set.

There seems to be all sorts of Random Booster generators out there. I downloaed an Excel one sometime ago, but never really used it. It'd be kind of neat if there was some way to incorporate one into Bifur, but that may be more trouble than what its worth. But it'd be really nice if it was possible.

COMPLETED

(One minor bug - Deathlocks aren't included via Red Wizard war band building)  <-- fixed
Repaints and Promos separately <-- Complete
Import from Maxminis <-- Complete
Select filter for size - e.g. Tiny, Small, Medium etc. <-- Complete
