After looking at NewDark's DML system (setting object properties by reading text files) I decided to write a program to make conversations easier to manage. Sometimes convs need to be tweaked. Actions need to be rearranged, or even entire steps. ConvMaster makes this very easy. You can export a conv from Dromed (see the readme), save it in ConvMaster and then load it back in Dromed.

May the Builder bless you for this! :D
I was just setting up a conversation which was making me mad when I had to stop with Dromed.
Thanks!

Works GREAT! Thank you.

Thanks so much for this Robin! I'm sorry I was never able to test it properly, but I'll be sure to use it in the future. What a godsend!

Woot woot! Thank you!!
Readme / help issues
Readme and Help still say ctrl and not alt (e.g. Ctrl 5 and not Alt 5).
What are the new ctrl keys? Ctrl s = save now? Is Ctrl z the undo? Is Ctrl y a redo?
Please update Readme and Help with all the hot key definitions.
Edit- Ctrl z does the undo character by character but the none of the Alt keys work (Ctrl n keys still do the step scrolling) and neither Alt s nor Ctrl s scrolls to the step set in the step window.

Oops. I used the exe from just before the new shortcuts were set up. The current one has just been uploaded, with an updated readme, same link as before. The Ctrl shortcuts are listed in the menus.
There isn't a redo system yet. I'd like to set one up but it's getting rather complicated, so I can't promise anything.

Great. I'll download and check it out.
Redo is least important to me. I rarely use it any any application. I was just asking what was implemented so I could know what to check for.
Edit: Undocumented but working hot keys: Ctrl c, Ctrl v, Ctrl x
Alt n going from step on the left to an off-screen step on the right only scrolls the window as far as the step label. It doesn't get the whole of the step "frame" visible. On the other hand, going from a step on the right to an off-screen step on the left gets the whole of the frame visible. Same behaviour with Alt s.

The scrolling problem was caused by me changing the text label at the stop (Step #). The scroll method scrolls the form until the entire thing is visible. I had been using the Step # label, which was the full width of the step with the text centered. The step lables are now smaller, hence the scrolling problem. I've fixed the problem now.
And I've backtracked on using Alt. A standard Windows feature is for that to highlight menu options, but that causes scrolling problems. So it's back to Ctrl for all shortcut keys except Alt F4, another standard Windows one.
This means there's a conflict between two lots of Ctrl S. I've removed the one for scroll to step because I reckon no-one will use that, especially with the number shortcuts.
