Allow multiple generator results in Log Entry without closing generator

I was generating a bunch of orc names. I mean, who doesn't do that on a Friday night, right?

The userflow was to click the generator link Use Name. That added the result automatically to the Log Entry. Then the generator closed.

I needed to click on the generator each time to build my list.

Would it be possible to have Generate Another button and a Close button?

[Use Entry] [Generate] [Close]

* Use Entry adds the generation result to the Log Entry and keeps the generator overlay open.
* Generate rolls another result
* Close closes the generator overlay.

To add an additional layer of nicety, perhaps the generator window would not need to pop up and obstruct everything else, but it could remain open next to the active log entry's window?

Having the log and the generator windows open side by side could make that kind of interplay quite a bit more effective.

That is a great idea. Come to think of it, I believe @JochenL is planning something like this already. i'm not sure.
