When you export text from your hold, each entrance is marked as

<Entrances EntranceID='7'>
<DescriptionMessage lang='eng' text="Entrance text"/>
</Entrances>

which is great, until I want to change that, and I'm staring at my hold with 51 different level entrances* and going, "Which one was #7?" It'd be really nice if the Entrances tag could also include LevelID, RoomX, RoomY, and RoomID, to make it possible to find the entrance.

*Not an exaggeration. Well, not my hold, either, but 10 levels, with a level entrance from X to Y and then one back from Y to X, and in some cases multiple stairways per level...the point is, it adds up.

In Soviet Russia, Entrance labels export you.

Aww... Cmon! A -1?

I guess if too many Russian reversal jokes are spewed over a short time period, a roulette victim is you.

On topic question: so, if I understand correctly, the issue here is that you have some entrance text that you'd like to fix, but this tool doesn't tell you where that particular entrance is located in the hold, right?

ooooh, that would be awesome for TCB, too. enter a text snippet and it tells you where it appears in the hold in a little popup (which might be more than one place): "on text for goblin in script in level 3, room 3N 5W", "on entrance 43 (level 5, room 1N2W", etc. bonus points if clicking a text takes you to the appropriate room and brings up the entrance/exit editor and/or script dialog on the appropriate line.

Exactly. Exporting text only tells you the entrance's number, but nothing else about it.
