Feature Requests

I ADORE the addition of the Gantt Chart, I'm currently working on a project that involves nearly 200 years of backstory, so I love the fact that I can see everything laid out in chronological order.

That said, I do have some suggestions for making the Gantt chart a bit more user friendly:

1) the biggest thing is being able to move the timeline events up and down the chart. Right now, when you create a timeline event on the Gantt chart, once you've set the date, the event is locked into that position. Which is fine, that's what it's for, but when you've got events ranging from 1781 AD to 2024 AD, if your last event was 2/29/2024 and you realize you forgot to put something in 1812, that new 1812 event is down below your last 2024 event instead of up with the rest of your 1812 events where it belongs. It would be really nice to be able to move events up the chart so that everything is in line correctly, no matter when you actually enter events

2) another organizational feature that would be nice for the Gantt chart would be the ability to change the icon shape/color on the chart. Right now, when you enter a timeline event on the Gantt chart, the only icon the event shows is the hourglass, which is fine, that's the Timeline Event icon. But there's no way to change the color of that icon to potentially indicate specific types of events, or change the shape of the icon. If you do it in the event's info page, it doesn't show up on the Gantt chart. This would be a really nice feature to have, especially for writers like me, who prefer to have everything in chronological order but still want to be able to see at a glance what type of event I'm looking at.

I do understand that a lot of this is stuff that the Timeline Canvas already does, but as I stated previously, I prefer seeing everything in chronological order, so more flexibility with the Gantt chart would really be appreciated!
