hand labeller - more text please

Post by Cik » #66367

hand labeller character limit is extremely small, can you maybe double / triple it? i tried to label something precisely and it was completely impossible. thx

Use multiple labels on the same item

People can and sometimes will spam long labels onto everything. Is this worth it?

I only never need it to fit "FAGGOT STORAGE" and a clear path to the bridge doors.

well it was a real pain to use it for (one) of the things it was intended for. i was the detective trying to informatively label some evidence first i tried

suspicious spacesuit - prints [print ID] - kylie graham

or something

so that was about 4 times too long

alright

print ID nope too long

alright let's try suspicious spacesuit kylie graham

nope too long

alright fuck it FP - kylie graham (i think that was just inside the limit)

i'd appreciate it but if it's not in the cards then w /e

edit: i'd also like to point out that putting huge restrictions on something because it COULD be abused (personally i've never seen anyone label anything ??) is silly when that prevents it from fulfilling it's function a reasonable amount of the time.

This would be great along with a way to remove labels. Unless there is a way IDK.

You can label things multiple times, if you need to write something long.

A way to remove labels while nice, would also be rather bad in a lot of cases where you're trying to label things.
