The feeder app sometimes fails to start properly and doesn't work. Restarting solves this but I have to navigate to the app on my PC. It would be easier to restart from the server app, using a GUI button.

In my case, I have to have a particular, weird pose for calibration. I'd like to request the ability to at least manually adjust the forwards and backwards location of the hips in the measurement setup as completing the calibration steps as instructed causes my hips to be around 20-30cm in front of my body. Since in my case, the automatic setup produces very poor leg tracking accuracy, it would be the best if a separate "offsets" option would be available for each body part in the application, so that more advanced users could fine tune their tracking to match their use cases such as mocap, avatars with different proportions to the user's IRL ones, and games that expect trackers to be in a different spot compared to VRChat.

Adjacent to this request is the ability to define measurements as proportions of the user's height, or a similar system. When I'm changing measurements in the server, that actually changes my measured height, which makes sense, however, when trying to set up my measurements to work with the avatar I want to use in VRChat, configuring to match proportions will change the skeleton height. I know this is not the correct way to use the measurements, however after a painful process, this was the method that resulted in the best, most accurate tracking for me. Manual measurements are already discouraged, however I would have liked to have an option to change my overall skeleton height regardless. An option such as this should be available when enabling Developer mode in the settings.

After testing toe tracking, and eventually reaching the point where it is viable to wear toe trackers regularly, with no penalty to my comfort, I believe that it is a feature that improves user experience and immersion. It is especially suited for activities in VRChat where you walk or dance a lot, it also goes a long way to make avatars look more alive and human-like while just lounging with friends. Please include it officially.

When using Developer mode, I have the option to display more stats per tracker on the home screen, such as acceleration, temperature, rotation and so on. Using many trackers, the list view quickly grows very long, however the grid view only has two columns and does not display additional information for the trackers. Please allow for a more compact and information rich view, or possibly enable Developer mode extras on the grid view to allow all trackers to fit on the home screen without the need to scroll it if possible.

Please include a "Restore last saved" and a "Save" GUI option to the measurements menu, not just an import and export option. This will make it easier for users to experiment with measurements to achieve a better tracking experience. VRChat's IK system often doesn't work as expected with many tracking points, so it is sometimes necessary to spend some time adjusting the measurement settings. Such options would allow for a better user experience when performing adjustments to the measurements.
