Re: [Rails-devel] Report window as game history

On XP I have no problem copying from the dynamic window and pasting into NotePad, TextPad or even Word or Outlook. No clue what a Firefox edit window is (even though I use Firefox), so I can't comment on that. Erik. _____ From: Chris Shaffer [mailto:chr...@gm...] Sent: Tuesday 31 August 2010 19:05 To: st...@ro... Cc: Development list for Rails: an 18xx game Subject: Re: [Rails-devel] Report window as game history Testing on Mac shows that you can copy/paste into a Firefox edit window. Despite our desire to avoid Windows, a significant portion of the player base are Windows users. Many of them are not technically proficient enough to switch, nor should we try to force them to do so. I will test on Windows and Ubuntu this evening. -- Chris Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

I will add some code (similar to the one font changes) that makes the change immediate and does not require a reload. Supplying both simultaneously would be possible, but might bring more confusion to newbies than benefits to the experts? * I could change the (static/legacy) report window to the new behavior of clearing undone actions instead of appending undoing, but then the difference between the two is merely formatting and the availability of hyperlinks. Then it is easier to deactivate the formatting and hyperlinks than to support two different subclasses of the ReportWindow. There are two reasons to keep the static version: A) For me the static window acts as an accounting trail, thus keeps track of undos explicitly. B) For (quite old) computers (or handhelds if Rails gets portable in the future) the JEditorPane is a drag on performance and the whole content is updated after each action instead of appending as in the static case.
