Is there a way to clear the Active Character list? I edit and move characters so the same character is up there multiple times, I'd like to get rid of that.

I've also noticed something with TF: that I'm not sure if it's supposed to be this way or not:

I was creating Everyman Skills. First I bought PS: at 11-, which would cost 2 points, I then added Custom Adder -2, changed the words 'Custom Adder' to read Everyman Skill and the output looked like this:
0 PS: Police Officer (Everyman Skill) 11-

Then I bought TF: and added Custom Adder, changed the words again but this time the output looked like this:
0 TF: Everyman Skill, Small Motorized Ground Vehicles

Are they supposed to look different?

I am using Version 1.28 on a WinXP machine

1. Close the characters (File -> Close) when you're done with them and they won't show up in the Active Character list. It will also significantly decrease your load time for the app.

2. That's the way it's supposed to look, due to the way TF is supposed to be formatted. The system doesn't know if the Custom Adder is simply another class of transport or something else, so it groups it with all the other adders of the TF.

Alternate ways to do it would be the following:

1. Clear the text of the Custom Adder. Rather than "Everyman Skill" just leave it empty. This will prevent it from showing up at all in the text.

2. Do (1) above and attach a Note to the Skill explaining that it is an Everyman Skill.

3. Rather than buying "Small Motorized Ground Vehicles", buy a Custom Adder and rename it to "Small Motorized Ground Vehicles (Everyman Skill)" for 0 points.
