Position/Match id moved to status bar

[Jonathan Kinsey]

Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy.

I've moved the id field into the status bar and changed ctrl+c/ctrl+v to act
directly on the id, you can also right click on id and copy/paste from there.
The obvious advantage is to make the playing area bigger and remove the slightly
unnecessary box at the top of the board.

Any thoughts?

Jon

Hi Jon,
2 minor warnings:

gtkgame.c: In function 'PasteIDs':
gtkgame.c:1177: warning: unused variable 'bd'
gtkgame.c: At top level:
gtkgame.c:1164: warning: 'GetFocusedWidget' defined but not used

I like the ctrl-C/ctrl-V thing: I guess many will be surprised by the change
but I think this is how it should work.

I would just make the gnubgID stand out a bit more in the GUI:

- put it to the left of the status bar
- highlight it somehow (white background, different color, whatever)

MaX.

Just some no longer used code, I can remove that tonight (if someone doesn't
beat me to it).

As to making it stand out, I'm not sure, the only time the id is important is if
you are interested in it I think (if that makes sense).

I like it!

For "old" users: add a tooltip for that part of the status bar?
(Ctrl+C Ctrl+V to copy the ID)
And change the menu text: View / Show IDs above board? (Show IDs in Status Bar)

Tooltips are generally handy, could add something explaining the id including this.

Well spotted, I'll change that.

I like the placement too. I would probably prefer it to be a text box
rather than a label. Doesn't have to be editable.

Christian.

That's what i meant saying "it should stand out" a bit more.
Not editable, probably true: it's most likely to be faster to
build the actual position clicking than entering manually the ID.

MaX.

I've made a couple of small changes, but it doesn't look quite right with a text
box, would a light background for the id help maybe?

I fairly often cut and paste IDs from websites into my gnubg. I would
like to be able to continue this practive.

Hi Ian,

this is still possible, probably it's even better than before: no need
to click in the text field (which no longer exists), just do a crtl-v.

MaX.

It's even easier: RightClick on the ID in the StatusBar and 'Paste Position ID'
(nice job Jon)

I've put a frame around the id, looks slightly better maybe?

I like the frame, but not sure the tooltip “Jon waz here” should remain ;-)

Much better.
Needs just some space between the end of the leftmost text area
and the 'GnubgID' label. maybe also arounf the frame ...

Purely cosmetic.
