[Rails-devel] No close/load ability?

[Rick W. <wes...@pu...>]

Hello list:

   I am back looking and using Rails after a year or so hiatus.  One feature I find missing (and that I find strange that no one has made a feature request for) is the ability to close the current game and open up another game without having to quit and restart Rails.    So I am wondering if I am missing something obvious.  Is there a way to load in a game without having to quit Rails?

   What is really bring this to the fore for me is that a buddy and I are playing two-player 1889 via putting our files into Dropbox.  When we are both on line then we can get a bunch of moves done but are having to quit Rails between moves.  In other words I find myself doing:

  1) Start Rails
  2) Load in the current game file, do my move, save the file.
  3) See via Dropbox that my buddy has done his move.
  4) Quit Rails.  Repeat starting from #1.

  What would be preferable is:

  1) Start Rails
  2) Load, do move, save as in #2 above.
  3) See my buddy do his move.
  4) Repeat starting with #2; i.e., no quit/start of Rails

Thanks,
