very cool man
a few more suggestions:
1)
Have the program check registry to find out eq2 install path.
It goes to that path, and checks the eq2.ini file to find out what the custom ui is.
it goes into that custom ui folder and scans all the icons_*.xml files.
the program can convert the
icons_adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_0.xml
into
map_adv02_dun_sundered_splitpaw_0.dds
and load the map up at the same time as the icons.
This way, regular users can see just a list of zones and decide which one they want to add icons to.
I do, however, like the advanced mode, too. I suggest you keep the browse functionality in there as well.
2)
also: A File->Save As... command can always be useful.
suggested menu:
File
Open Zone <--shows dumbed down version, only see a list of zones
Open Icon Page <--same as current "File->Open"
Open Map File <--same as current "Map->Open"
Save As...
Save
POI
Add Map POI
Delete Map POI
Post POI's to maps.eq2interface.com
AutoCalc Location
Help
If you decide to be generous enough to provide them help in the program
3)
A status bar at the bottom that always shows current /loc of the cursor when you hover over the map.
