Floating Windows; Mission Preview
I have two large desktop monitors. I would find it an advantage to change the positions and sizes of the "Mission Preview," Camera View," Map View" and "Mission Timeline" windows. It is frustrating being able to see only one or two lines of the timeline and it would also be good to be able to collapse or expand all of the components.

Got it.
Is this on the roadmap?
Yes, but way low priority right now.
Jim,
Thanks for the reply, From a ease of use standpoint I think the entire Dronelink community would find this beneficial; so I hope it moves up the priority list sooner rather than later.
Could you provide the link to the Roadmap again?
Thanks

It is currently lumped in with 3D Buildings / Vegetation in my mind, as that involves swapping out ESRI and Mapbox for a pure 3D mission planning environment using Google Earth for Unity, which would be supported on native and web.
Up and above please :) I too have multiple monitors and that would be a super solution. But having a floating timeline would be highly appreciated. As of now I ma continuous scrolling the timeline up and down to see the relations and times actions,
so PLEASE, PLEASE ;)
I will do a ditto here, as well. With multiple monitors, I would like to be able to have a "clean" view of my mission plan in one monitor, while my second monitor has the windows for building the plan components as well as doing drone "views" and timelines. All these additional windows clutter up the view of the overall mission plan, and make it more difficult to see what is going on when the mission is simulated.
I know that because this is a web interface, it may be a lot more difficult to have those windows on a second monitor, but if it is possible, it would be a great improvement!!
Me also. Just started using Dronelink and first thing I wished I could do is float the preview windows. I am always scrolling the bar graphic to watch what commands are being executed. I too vote for moving it up. I use three monitors.
Also, why are some of the scrolling bars expandable using Ctrl + mouse scroll wheel (Drone motion, Camera Commands, Camera Captures, Gimbal Commands), but the others are not. This causes them to de-synchronize which adds confusion. I would have thought that expanding and scrolling all the bars simultaneously would maintain synchronization and be better.
The various components in the preview are all from different 3rd party libraries and we need to spend additional coding effort to synchronize them (another feature request). The goal of adding Ctrl + mouse scroll wheel to the timeline was to simply let people see exactly which commands were being issued during long missions.
Me too :-)
