Re: [Rails-devel] Automatic clipboard copy of last players actions

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Phil:
I agree that the current info text will most likely be ignored.

Possible solutions:

* Maybe it could be configured that it pops up once and then the
user could check the option "do not show this message again". 
However this has to be stored in the configuration file and there 
is no requirement for one yet. In that case selecting the option would require
the storage of a configuration file.

* It could be shown in the comment part of the message pane. But it is only 
shown during the OR. See next mail on adding this to the status window.

* The release note only help for current players, future players will not be 
covered. A wiki/faq page on pbem configuration would be great.
