OK, this is easy to fix: I simply have to recompile with a larger value of MAX_OPTIONS. I thought that 100 (per engine!) woud be enough...Eizenhammer wrote:- Fruit 2.3.1 has too many options, so 3 error reports announcing this have to be clicked away (more candidates with many options would be gambit fruit, some toga versions, but have not tried these now)
Yes, I am still working on that, but decided to already make the back-end functions available for testing before the layout was completely finished. My original intention was (as a first measure) break the option display into 2 columns (or 4, depemnding on how you count), but I would have to write some back-end code for deciding the best place to break. (E.g. all Polyglot options in one column, all engine option in the other, even if that would mean the columns re not exactly the same hight.) IMO this was preferable over a scroll bar (which would be very easy to implement, you can request it through the window style), because the latter would make the OK and cance buttons disappear from view.- such a window should really be scrollabel, most implementations of uci setting have this problem, with too small a screen (like mine) there is no easy way to get access to all the fields and buttons.
Personally, I don't worry about that either, but the official GNU-XBoard policy is to support everything from Win95 on...I would not worry too much about Win3.x/95/98; if corrections can be made without too big an effort, ok, but on the other hand these systems are really obsolete, these days (Franz will ... me, but it is nothing personal
OK, thanks. The buttons were completely untested, as Fruit did not have them. I will look into it.Pablo Vazquez wrote:I tried it under wine with Sungorus 1.2. The first time, the Clear Hash button appears correctly but if I press OK and try again, the button has disappeared.
I then tried with Glaurung 2.2 and I couldn't see the Clear Hash button (not even the first time), although the other options appeared correctly. Also, when I closed it, I got an error (only when I loaded glaurung).
I´ve now also tested it on my other computer with Win2000, and here the options window looks better.hgm wrote: OK, thanks. The buttons were completely untested, as Fruit did not have them. I will look into it.
No difference yet (on Win98) except the 4 columns now.hgm wrote: There is a new version at the same link.
Yes, I am doing that now.F.Huber wrote:Maybe it would be good idea if you test these new UCI options window with ChestUCI, because it uses all sorts of UCI options types (spin, check, combo, string and button), so you can see if everything is working.
The button problem is solved, but there seems to be a problem with spin options: in Glaurung 2.2 I can't see the Threads option.hgm wrote:OK, I found a bug that was treating buttons like checkboxes (explaining the duplication of controls), and buttons were added to the end of the list twice (but with overlapping initialization, so half of them was random, explaying the Glaurung crash).
I also went to 4-column format if there would be more than 25 lines in 2-column format.
There is a new version at the same link.
