ctrl+p, both at once!
Why the fuck when you are doing 120mph (at brunters not on the M5 that would be naughty) do I need to press TWO fucking keys, to perform ONE function, seriously, what was he smoking when he dedided that made sense? Why not just hit function key 1 or similar?
Then you press enter to confirm that you have accidently pressed two fucking keys at once (as if you are EVER going to accidently press the ctrl key down and hold it then press P, im mean seriously WTF?) then you press enter then you have to wait AGES (trust me it IS ages if you are in the middle of getting det at 6000rpm at 2 bar of boost etc!) for the update to happen to the entire map, rather than just do the 1 cell that has changed (which the ECU already CAN do as it does it in live update mode) then you press enter again to say you accept its done the thing you pressed 2 keys to ask it to do then hit enter to confirm you wanted it to do.
Seriously, I design software for a living, and that fucking sucks, its just a totally shocking GUI he has clearly not got a clue what he is doing at this side of things, its just not anywhere near as useable a tool as it could SO easily be!
All it needs is a toggle for "live update / offline update" that when selected (by pressing 47 keys at once and confirming eleventy seven times with the enter key if he insists) that it then turns to live update mode (and if he wants just to be safe it could turn the entire map bright pink so you know that you are in LIVE mode) and any change you make happens instantly.
If you arent confident about doing it in that mode, you dont go through whatever obscenely complicated process he puts in place to put you into live edit mode and leave it as it is, but if you DO feel you can actually be trusted to type the correct things in, like you do with all the other ecu's you map, then it lets you do so.
Hardly rocket science really?
Its literally only a dozen lines of code and would turn his front end from something that is a PITA to use to something far simpler.
There we go, thats the rant NeilM has already told me off for having, so I figured I may as well do the crime as Id already done the time
