I added your EP-Launch suggestion at:

https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/issues/5605

I am still making a list of all the IDF Editor suggestions.

Hi Jason,

It would be great if you can consider the following three. They are relevant to the jEPlus users:

1. Make the IDF editor tolerate Unix line ends ('\n').
2. Provide an option to disable value checks on the input fields. This may be a little complicated to implement, but it will allow users to input search tags (for parametrics) in the fields.
3. Offer an option to choose an alternative epl-run script (sorry, this is EP-Launch, I suppose). In this way user can switch between simulation targets without having to edit the batch file.

Cheers,

Yi

Jason,
I hope that you are well!
One thing that I'd love to see is this:
It should "remember" the last viewing setup, e.g., full or partial screen, display all objects or in-use objects. I'm always using Ctrl-L to make the display show only in-use objects and always making the display full-screen.
Thanks for asking.

If you use IDF Editor extensively and have ideas on how it
can be made easier to use please let me know. I am
especially interested in ideas on how to reduce
time-consuming repetitive actions that would be simple for
me to program. Here are the current GitHub issues related to
IDF Editor:

https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AIDFEditor

Please email me directly and I will compile a list of
suggestions and post a summary.

Thanks

Jason
