How to deal with initiative for loaded encounters ? #2

Right now the encounters are saved including all the initiative of each character. If you are "pausing" an encounter and want to come back at exactly the same point, it is the desired behaviour. But, if you are preparing the encounters beforehand and want to load them during a session, you might want to roll the initial at loading time. Especially if you re use the same encounter several times.

I see several possibilities, but none are fully satisfactory for me and depend on user preferences.

Ask for roll when loading

When loading an encounter, ask if initiative should be re rolled. If yes, open a dialog with each character to input the initiative or selection to roll with stealth or perception.

However, this add additional clicks and slow down the loading process for the user.

Add re-roll button in tracker view

Do not change the loading procedure but add a button to reroll all the initiative in the tracker view.

On possibility would be to open a dialog window with the list of all characters and 3 options per lines (stealth, perception, custom) and a "roll all with [...]" at the bottom.
