foundry-filepicker-favorites VS dragonflagon-fvtt

the module filepicker improvements can let you add some pre definited folders to the folder tab on the file picker so you can easily set where to upload with a single click

Moulinette (specifically Moulinette Core + probably Moulinette Scanes, Tiles, and Image Search given what you mention). It provides an experience more similar to what you're describing to look for assets. I'm too finicky about my file compression to personally use it much - I'm a Filepicker Improvements stan myself as its ability to favorites to the filepicker suites me well - but a lot of folks love Moulinette for the experience you're after.

I'm personally a Filepicker Improvements fan, but a lot of people love bigger overhauls like Moulinette's search options or Alpha Suit's file manager. There's also folks that prefer just working from their own files/internet and go Drag Upload.

Filepicker Improvements - Lets you favorite folders for quick access when selecting token images.

In the meantime I'd suggest using DF Architect and DF Curvy Walls to make your life easier. There aren't many maps I've seen which can't have their walls draw manually in a few minutes.

DragonFlagon Curvy Walls - tools for drawing curved walls

Dungeondraft is going to be better for creating full maps. Foundry isn't awful for creating maps, particularly with the right modules - the DragonFlagon ones like Architect and Curvy Walls are great, so is Dungeon Draw for on-the-fly stuff - but at the end of the day, map-making softwares are better for making maps to then export to Foundry for use.

Also, DF Hotkeys should let you rebind many (most?) keys that are already registered in Foundry.

DF Manual Rolls: Allows toggleable behavior for requesting manual rolls, inserting that value into regular roll actions

This is a known issue. Unfortunately I haven't had the spare time to get through my back-log of issues yet. But you can keep an eye on this ticket: https://github.com/flamewave000/dragonflagon-fvtt/issues/297

DragonFlagon Active Lights

DF Chat Enhancements has capabilities for logging in addition to other things, and it does a really good job.

DragonFlagon Chat Enhancements https://github.com/flamewave000/dragonflagon-fvtt/tree/master/df-chat-enhance I'm mostly using this mod for the ability to edit chat messages. The idea is that players would use this to state their actions, and then be able to change their mind later if someone else does something unexpected, or does something that would cause the original actions to "fizzle".
