I'm generally the last one to keep suggesting something over and over again, but we all know that this is something which will help the more ambitious quest developers out there much, much more than "Roc's Feather" ever could. ;) (Heh.)
This topic comes in two parts: The combo page, and the Tiles page. Both will affect the combo page.
Essentially, what this would do, is, you can select one combo on the combo editor page, (Quest-->Graphics-->Combos.) ... and when you've selected that combo and pressed C to copy it to the clipboard, you can select any number of combos, then press V to paste that exact combo to all the combos you've just selected.
Right now, if we did this, it would only copy one combo, I do believe, to the upper left position. Or left/topmost, as it were.)
Another suggestion we've all been hoping for, and have probably seen suggested in some form in the past. I'm quite sure. It's just so very, very, very helpful.
This suggestion regards taking the previous suggestion, and translating a series of graphics straight from the tiles page into combos, using one combo as the template by which to apply the attributes to it.
Essentially, you'd make a combo on the combo page, then right-click on it, and choose the "Translate" option. (Or maybe "Mass Grab?") you'd then choose a rectangle of tiles. That rectangle would then be copied to the combo page, but all of them would have the exact same characterings (Minus the graphics!) of the combo you had copied them from.
... Now if you'll excuse me, the very act of typing this up has made me drool with anticipation. (Actually I just have to leave because I have class, .. but whatever.)
