[Scidvspc-users] Window Docking feature

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Anyway, i have the dockable windows feature more or less working (see attached)
Scid doesn't dock the crosstable, player info (and some others) but
both of these seem good candidates for docking to me.

I'm not sure about FICS though... Enrico ? Our FICS window is just too
big. Should we dock it ?

I suppose you arer talking about FICS. Maybe i should substitute the
three "No Draws, No Abort, No Adjourn" menus and just have one "No
popups" menu item.

Very nice docked view ! That's the way to go for me.

Thank you.

Hi all,
That's a very very nice addition to scidvspc!
Given the whole polemic about the "merge" we've learn that the docking feature is what stops many people to use scidvspc.
I believe it's a good idea to add it for our scid-no-bugs-vsPc ;-)

Steven did you try it on OSX ? 
If not, I subscribe!

I guess the FICS window can stay out of docking mode but if it is possible to assign it to the main area it could still be useful.

Thanks and congrat' Steven!

for me it would be nice just if no popup comes at all, no match request, 
no you lost popup and no freeze everything i do until popup is clicked.
It would be nice also a simple telnet fics windows with no buttons, 
just: windows telnet, board to play, and that's all.

ciao e grazie :D

Very nice Steve- Thank you!

I'm assuming that the databases row will adjust as several of them are 
opened.

Keep up the good work.

a minimimal board + telnet that uses half screen, that's what i need, i 
use scid with half screen 13xx large and i dont understand why should be 
a problem to play in that configuration using a reasonable telnet 
windows to read messages and to chat.
buttons are old to me, menu mouse and line editing are fast and modern :D

ciao & grazie!

Big windows could docked under the main board, as a tab, ad with Scid.

That way, one could have a readable game list window even with a notebook.

Hopefully i'll get a windows binary and svn commit happening over
easter. Here is the latest patch though.
http://scidvspc.sourceforge.net/tmp/docking.patch.gz

There's been a lot window focus issues and geometery issues to resolve. And
if a docked engine fails to start, mainline Scid crashes but hopefully
i've fixed that bug.
I've still been working on bug-fixing, so several windows havent been
docked yet: tree,
bestgames, comment editor, player info are all penciled in.

PS. Magnus is looking a good thing, but it's a tough tournament.
(Great to see Gelfand help him out!)
To follow the game live on FICS, just login and type "ob gmcarlsen"
and "ob gmaronian" (etc)

"tell relay listgame" to see games from any international tourney in 
fics, "ob game_number" or "ob name_player", if you are looking for the 
best game standard at the moment, "ob /s" (/b blitz)

ciao!

one letter instead of two

o gamenumber

i have menu bar disabled, because that makes bigger the board windows 
(the board bigger) it would be nice to have active alt-f to open menu 
file and to navigate between menu when menu bar is disabled, using ALT-F 
and arrows to move to others menu and to select or exit from menu with ESC.

ciao e grazie!

when there is not active board when i type observe or exam, it would be 
nice to have the first board active without click from fics windows to 
promote on main board.
if someone mexamine me (mexamine acconcio) not sure that i can use wheel 
or button bar to move pieces on examined board (when mexamine promotes 
me as examiner).

thanks again i LIKE scid_vs_pc!!!!!

it would be nice when i type not to be forced to select fics windows, 
when i type and only main board and fics are on screen, it's obvious 
that im typing on fics board a command, i dont understand why i have to 
select the window before i type.

ciao e grazie! :)

Speaking of which, ....

The clocks should be next to the live game board, whether digital or 
"analogue." And, the digital font sucks and isn't configurable.

Someone playing or observing on FICS should easily be able to see both 
the board and the console at the same tie. And, when observing, I like 
to have the tree view of the database and/or an engine visible at the 
same time. It's hard with separate windows scattered all over.

Something else to consider, ....
I run two screens. The are pretty isolated in that I cannot drag windows 
from one to the other, they are displays: 0.0 and 0.1. By this means I 
have programs started from one display open on that same display rather 
than, as on Windows, choose one at random.

Of all the desktop managers on linx around, FVWM supports the setup 
best, and that means testing on Debian or a derivative, or maybe Fedora. 
GNOME almost does it, but it has a bug or two.

Anyone who wants to play with this but lacks the hardware can set up a 
virtual machine in, maybe, VirtualBox

It would be useful to me if SCID* would allow me to open a new undocked 
window on another display. Maybe in future this could be extended to 
share selected windows remotely for coaching?
