Feedback Wrap text in string table editor

We're currently doing some text based adventure and we have lots of longer text passages. The text is supposed to be displayed depending on available screen width so we only add newlines when we need a paragraph and when rendering the strings in-game we auto-wrap them according to available width.

The string table editor currently does not wrap text around automatically, so most of the strings we add are just one huge line of text, which is very inconvenient to edit. It would be super-helpful if the string table editor would auto-wrap the text (or at least have a setting for it).

 

Hi Karl, thank you very much. Would you provide some insight about the reasoning behind disabling the wrapping? I mean I'm glad that you add it to the list as a setting, but maybe I'm using this not the way it was intended to be used.

 

When will this feature be ready?
It's pretty hard to use the TableEditor right now (but we use it for pretty much everything).
I'd be fine with changing the setting in a line of code or so.

I found the code, where it is set, it's inside SmartFormatField.cs Line Nr. 360 - but I can't change it, whenever I press "save" unity will just revert any changes made to the script.

Also you could do it like Visual Studio does, with a symbol (at the end of the line) when it is wrapped atomatically and no symbol when it is a real NewLine. But a simple toggle on top of the LocalizationTable Editor would be good enough for most use-cases.

And as I am already talking - Minimizing Entries (Foldout) would also be great, otherwise it's a lot of scrolling up and down, when it could be just a few lines, which can be expanded to full text.

Otherwise: great asset! Thanks a lot for adding this to unity, ingame it works flawlessly and the customInspector field is also great for assigning localized strings - love it
