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

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

I agree that this option should not scare anyone (I never had this intention): 
I had put down this as a todo after the discussion of the copy&paste problems 
of the game report window with the pbem playing participants of the list.
It seemed that the automation part was highly requested. 

I suggest that there should be an option "copyLastPlayerActionsToClipboard" 
with the three possibilities: ASK, NEVER, ALWAYS with ASK as default.

So after game save a pop-up would ask if last player actions should be copied 
to the clipboard. Players could then either turn it off or enable it in the 
configuration. This also solves the problem that this feature gets lost for 
new players. In the medium run if we define standard profiles for pbem/ftf the 
defaults could be set accordingly.
