Option to display SigType or SigId on map node

Issue #198 resolved
Oliver_Kalder created an issue

For the nodes in the chain map, I would like the option to either show the signature type (current behavior) or signature ID. I've attached an example image.

This could be a settings option in the preferences such as "Show SigType or SigId" with a radio button selection and the current SigType selected by default.

    It would be even more awesome if you could set a default as a mask-admin. For example, forcing it to swap for your whole corporation.

    Not a bad idea and I don't think a complex feature to add. We can leave this open as something to tackle as soon as the current major task is completed.

    The concept of mask wide settings is appealing - however I still have yet to hear of an excellent way to execute it without forcing it on ppl.

    Voting for this as it would be a huge QOL improvement. Personally I would like to have an option on client-side and not necessarily a mask setting

    @jglassmaker In that case, I would store the default server-side (mask is set to one or the other, with the current behavior selected automatically). Then, user side, the default option would sort of be 'inherit settings from mask', with the two examples listed in the OP as additional options.

    With that, if the user wants, they can override it to their preference. It would then be stored in local-storage or in user-settings server-side. When deciding which to display in the front end, just use the two settings, giving priority to the personal override.

    With this, in most cases, people will touch neither setting, and the change will be transparent to them. Those who do want the setting can use it accordingly. For example, my group refers to and bookmarks our wormholes via class+signature, so that would be more useful information to display.
