Hello,
Below is the list of bugs and features that I (greatly) miss from v10 that I hope is planned for v11. Any update is appreciated. :]
I am running v11.0.2195.912 (64bit)
ARROWED TREND LINES: I draw arrows a lot; as a note taking tool (defining a beginning, end, and direction of a trade and use color to have other meanings) and as a discussion pointing tool in screen shares/videos. It seems there is only a small little arrows now, but not a "ray". PLEASE, bring this back! I can't stress this enough. I tried to make due with the new little arrows and they don't give near the information that a simple v10 arrow gives. The v11 arrow doesn't tell me if the arrow is a NEW trade taking place, exiting a trade, exiting all or just part, etc.
Here is an example of a chart that I draw up daily using v10 arrows.

On a similar note, I miss having "extended lines" as separate tool from just a trend line. Not a deal breaker, but a definite annoyance.
SEND TO FTP: Perhaps I am missing how to do this, but can we no longer save a screenshot to local disc/FTP? I also use this feature a lot, as in the above example, which was FTP'ed to our server from within eSignal v10.
RELOAD EFS AFTER ERROR: We develop a lot of EFS scripts. If a script is running fine, it is easy enough to right-click and reload a script. If there is a script error, how do you reload it now? Remove and re-add? If so, this is a very slow process that I hope has a solution in the future.
DOCK THE FORMULA OUTPUT WINDOW: Some of my scripts use the "Formula Output" window to spit out data and summaries of what the script sees. Thus, I use it as an important window on my "page" that is constantly visible. It would be nice to be able to dock it like a chart. In the meantime, I have a dummy chart that takes up a chunk of space that I put the formula output window over. Also, it would be nice to not have it "always on top". Finally, it would be nice to have the option to allow text in the output window to wrap.
HOT KEYS DON'T WORK ON DOCKED WINDOWS: You probably are aware, but it seems that the drawing tool's hot keys only work on a detached window. Dock the window and they stop working.
FONT SIZE DIFFERENCE: From v10 to v11, it seems that all text drawn from EFS scripts are larger. Not a big deal, but I do have to tweak my scripts to accommodate. Perhaps the default font is different, which is a typically larger font? Not a big deal, but something I noticed.
ALERT BUBBLE SPANS MONITORS: I like the new alert bubble on the bottom right that displays info of alerts, connection issues, or EFS issues. However, if you run multiple screens, this bubble seems to span multiple monitors making it hard to read. It would be nice for it to stay on the one monitor.
WATCH LIST NOT COLOR CODING PERCENT CHANGE: The "Change" column is colored red/green if the number is down/up, respectively. It would be nice if the "% Change" was also color coded this way, as in v10.
EFS "setShowCursorLabel()" NOT WORKING AS EXPECTED: I typically set this function to false. I expect it to then hide the script from the "Data Window". In v11, I have to manually hide the label, even if I set this value.
EFS TITLES DISAPPEAR IN "Format Object" WINDOW: For some reason my custom EFS often have their title disappear in the "Format Object" window. I'm not sure why.
FIB RETRACEMENT TOOL NOT REMEMBERING ALL SETTINGS: You are probably aware of this bug. I personally don't use the "distance lines", so I turn them off and try and set this as default. However, when I draw a new retracement tool, the distance lines are still there.
I've run into a few random crashes, but overall, I feel v11 is a GREAT first step at a new from-the-ground-up tool. There are some glitches, but I'm sure they will be taken care of in future releases. Thanks for all your hard work!
(If you only hear one thing from this message, please bring back the arrowed trend-lines! :] )
Thanks!
Daniel
