Sail number wizard/Add Competitor

Hi Colin,

Having just had to add some results to a series, one feature which would
have been very useful would have been an "Add competitor" button in the Sail
Number Wizard.

If a sail number does not match, a button to quickly add them without
leaving the wizard would save quite a few notes on the results sheet and
back-tracking to add them later.

Maybe it should even be the default button while there is no match? Hitting
return could then bring up the Enter Competitor dialog with the sail number
from the Wizard filled in. When the other entries are complete, leaving the
dialog could go back to the sail number wizard with the new entry selected
in the list The return key then moves on to the position entry stage and so
on.

I have looked at the dev plan and could not see this, apologies if I missed
it. Maybe something worth considering for the low priority list.

Keep up the great work,

Ian

Hi Ian,

Huw and a few others have mentioned the same thing. i though I had put it
in the dev plan. I think it's a fairly high pri because the sailno wizard
needs to be slick...

Colin,

You are so right - item 17 :slight_smile:

Well, just chalk up one more "me too" along side that one then.

Sorry for the noise.
