Peter,
I've really been enjoying the new version - especially the "seek
game" feature. Thanks so much!
Three very minor things:
1) I still frequently get an error message when I close down the
program, saying the glGo has "unexpectedly" crashed, when I merely
"quit". I should add that I'm on an iMac flatscreen, OSX 3.9. This
doesn't happen as consistently as with the older version of the
software.
2). when I go to type a text message to my opponent in the field (in
my configuration it is in the bottom right hand corner of the game
board), There is a little yellow informational box which when I click
on it to type says something like "type message here" which pops up
but won't go away unless I click again with my mouse. Otherwise the
informational box stays there and I can't see what I'm typing.
3). When I'm asking other players for a match I go through the list
of players, click on their name and then click on "match". The
match-challange panel for that player comes up in the middle of my
screen, and I click on its "match" button. then I usually click on
the red button which closes the panel. So far, so good. But, I often
challenge a number of players one after another. Sometimes, one will
accept a match just as I am challenging another player, so the game
board "blooms" up in the middle of the screen just as I'm hitting a
"match" button or the "close panel red button" -- but the click
registers on the game board instead! So, I end up with a very unusual
first move. This results in a good deal of confusion and
misunderstanding, especially if my opponent and I do not speak any of
the same languages. On the other hand, it intimidates the heck out of
some of them who think I'm some kind of a Go hotshot.
So, is there any way to make the match panels could open up on the
side of the screen instead of the middle? I now drag the panel over
to the side with the mouse, and that prevents it. Either that or tell
me how to say "Sorry, that was a misclick, please undo" in Japanese
and Chinese.
As I said, these are very small things, but I understand you want
feedback here, so there it is. Even with these little glitches, it is
a terrific program and I thank you for helping all of us in play Go
with people all over the world. It really is a marvelous thing and
much appreciated.
