First of all, thank you for making such an awesome tool.

I had a couple questions regarding how to use it and if there's any way it could be modified for different uses.

1. Is there a way to edit the name for the entire region? I know you can edit location names or add them to the almanac/legend, but I haven't been able to figure out how to change the region name.

2. Are there plans in the future to be able to add locations? That way theoretically every hex could be labelled for reference - possibly as an alternative to the hex number request in one of the other comments.

3. Is there any possibility that in the future one will be able to edit the procedurally-generated map? Adding a forest hex, mountain, or settlement, moving a coastline, etc. Being able to hide hexes, locations, or roads would be helpful as well, so that the map could be shown to the players without revealing secrets.

4. Is there any way to add or modify assets (e.g. more tree types, adding castles/temples/cave icons)?

Yes. Right-click the region name and choose "Edit name" in the context menu.
Maybe in the future I'll add the ability to mark hexes with "pins" like in MFCG, but not anytime soon. In any case labelling every hex this way would look ugly. Numbered hexes will be implemented soon.
To make maps editable in this generator is not very hard, but it would require much time and this is not the sort of coding I like. You can hide towns, dungeons and roads via the Details submenu of the context menu.
There is no way to add or edit assets because there are no assets here. Every icon is procedurally generated: for example if I wanted to add palm trees to the generator I would have to write a method for drawing them, not to draw them manually and save it as an image.
