Banksia GUI released

[phhnguyen]

Thanks for the report. I have been working on that!

Hello Pham,
because of unreproduceable results with "Test Positions" in different versions I made a Test to compare.

As reference I used CB Fritz 14 GUI, WM-Test from W. Eigenmann (100 pos.) and 30sec. and Fritz 18NN with 1 CPU.

Result in Fritz 14-GUI:
I proofed this result and it's 100% correct.
79/100 average correct time 2,57sec.

Banksia 0.54
single
80/100 avg.t. 5,38sec. ??
22 parallel
80/100 avg.t. 6,43sec. ??
80 correct is ok because one has 30sec. and 3millisec.
The avg. time seems to use the time with the 5 extra plys ?!

Banksia 0.55
single
78/100 avg.t. 14sec.
22 parallel
78/100 avg.t. 14sec.
all wrong.

At this stage the test is unprecise und unusable!
Can you please take a carefull look at this problem?
Many thanks!

regards William

Can someone translate BanksiaGUI into Italian and Polish thx.

I have started Italian translation once a time, but it takes much longer than expected and anyway I prefer English

PS: Thank you Pham for this masterpiece becoming better after every new build!

Thank you for the attempt!

BSG has about 6000 terms/phrases needed to translate. I found out myself that is a so hard and boring job. Furthermore, it is a moving target because BSG has been modified quickly, including the interface, where new features, functions, dialog boxes, and messages are added or modified a lot for each release. Thus completing the translation is impossible at the moment.

I suggest if you could do, just translate a few hundred words/phrases, enough for high-frequency use things such as menus and dialog boxes (such as Tournament create one). That is not hard and still benefits many people. We will complete those tasks (translations) later.

Dear Pham,

Could be possible a feature to add a new engine also in gauntlets matches in next beta?

Kind regards, Alex

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was experimenting with the settings and managed to set font size to zero or something. Now all menus have just underscores with no text and I can't manage to get things back to normal.

Fixed it. I found the .ini file and edited it, so now I'm good.
Thanks for a very nice GUI.

can you tell us the name of the *.ini file? I had the same failure.

It is in your user's appdata: C:\Users\<Your user>\AppData\Roaming\BanksiaGUI
The file is BanksiaGUI.ini
and the field to edit in my case was appFontSize=1
I changed it to 14

Good luck

That is a surprise for me since I have not edited directly that init file for a while (just use Settings dialogs when needed)
Perhaps, is an easier way to delete that file (thus BSG will auto-generate that file back)?

Another surprise too!

I have been using Qt 5.12 (my main IDE to develop BSG) which has been released in High Sierra time. However, my recent release 0.55 has been compiled under macOS Monterey (the latest version) with some serious upgrades from that High Sierra. It is amazing since there is no conflict between libraries!

Thanks for the info!
