What reproducible bugs are there that need to be fixed?

It would really help if you include steps to reproduce it.

JavaFibs usually doesn't show all players that are online. 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.

Probably should be made as a feature to have a command list that the user can modify. The commands on the list are then sent to the server at user login.

Known bugs in no particular order

  • "spanner in the works" server bug should be worked around better
  • Sometimes checkers vanish in JDK 5+ and appear only after forced redraw event (e.g. minimize/maximize window)
  • Sound is broken in JDK 5+
  • Parser can freeze or throw Exceptions sometimes, needs investigations. Sometimes this results in the complete Javafibs to hang ("fibsquake")
  • Look and feel options must not be hardcoded
  • Sorting opponent names in statistics dialog should be case insensitive
  • File operations, especially read/write of prefs, are not robust. Sometimes preferences can be mangled, requiring manual deletion.

Minor Enhancement: Get rid of the "Match Converter"-Button!
Just save every match in two formats, so that I don't have to convert all my matches before analysing them with GnuBG.

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.

I just type "who" at the command prompt to get the missing players.  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.

I made programmable buttons for those functions.  Quick and easy, tap tap, tap tap.   Wink  No typing.

A minor feature I'd like to see is being able to colour the text in shouts by player. 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.

That is a very good idea!

Some very minor requests and a few ideas for consideration please:

1) Right-click copy. 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.

Another small feature request: small gaps between clusters to help count pieces borne off.

When calculating cube decisions in the bear off it can sometimes be a bit tricky to quickly count the pieces either on the board (if they're in high stacks) or on the side. 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:

show "away" status in the players list!

Since a lot of those players who insist on sitting on the ready list also dont set 'away', number 6 in Alefs post is the better option.
