This is of course a Fibs and not a JavaFibs bug, but it would be nice if JavaFibs could automatically do this "set sortwho name/who/set sortwho rating/who/set sortwho rrating/who"- stuff on startup.Thomas (wintom) Logged The Backgammon Blog: Graswurzel Backgammon cthulhu Fibsboarder + Posts: 99 Re: JavaFIBS Development - Bugs or minor enhancements? « Reply #2 on: January 20, 2008, 12:26:36 AM » Quote from: wintom on January 19, 2008, 03:03:24 PMJavaFibs usually doesn't show all players that are online.

The commands on the list are then sent to the server at user login.

Sometimes this results in the complete Javafibs to hang ("fibsquake")Look and feel options must not be hardcodedSorting opponent names in statistics dialog should be case insensitiveFile operations, especially read/write of prefs, are not robust. Sometimes preferences can be mangled, requiring manual deletion. « Last Edit: February 01, 2008, 08:21:21 AM by inim » Logged This space is available for rent by advertisers.

Logged jools Guest Re: JavaFIBS Development - Bugs or minor enhancements? « Reply #6 on: October 13, 2008, 04:52:43 PM » Saving matches after they have been resumed and completed doesn't seem to work. Sometimes they just seem to be corrupted. Other times I get the previous match.I would also like to have a complete list of users when I log on.And somehow, my installation has decided that I want to do the same two whois commands every time I log in. It doesn't cause a problem but it's weird. They are both people I've played and, quite possibly, done a whois on.But thanks very much. These are small things and I am having a lot of fun with JavaFIBS.

So much faster and less dizzying than that sortwho foo.Yes, as long as only few fibsters are logged in. "who" starts to truncate results over some threshold, I'd say 200 is a safe value to assume truncation happening. Without setting sort-order, clients have the "I can not see player X" syndrome.

For example, I can currently change inim's name to orange. Ideally I'd like everything he says to now appear in orange. It'd make reading the shouts easier.Also, I can put people who words I don't value into a very pale colour so that I can hardly read them but can decipher if need be.

Currently we can copy text or player names by using ctrl-c or command-c (mac) but it'd help a bit to have this as a mouse option.2) Might be fun to show basic player stats in the Players window? So when we go to choose an opponent we can immediately see who we've played before and our percentage of wins.3) Save/export vector board settings. I've made some quite specific colour schemes but can't easily share these or change between them.4) Change the colour of any player, not just friends.5) Volume control. Would be nice to keep sounds on but be able to adjust them independently against other applications (usually have music or a video playing in the background!).6) Option to hide ready players who have been idle for more than a given amount of time.7) Live links for any URLs in shouts or chat.

A simple way to help is to have a small gap for every five pieces that have been borne off. This is done in the board used in OLM at Kit Woolsey's site, here's an example:http://www.gammonu.com/demo/match/WCH112M.HTM Logged The fibster formerly known as alef.

When that happens I've been undo'ing the move and redoing it. People are complaining that I play slowly, but sometimes it is due to having to make the move, undo it, and make it again. Are you aware that this still happens? I am using Windows 7 with JRE 1.6.0_43.
