Details:
Technically this is no bug report, just some remarks about usage of client-qt
from my personal viewpoint.
1. As single player i most frequently hit turn done button.
Also i usually hit view button before turn done if necessary.
Now turn done is bottom right, while view is top right.
IMHO they should be next to each other in the middle. If i'm
correct now there is no means to arbitrarily change button order.
Having them in the middle would reduce the way you have to move with mouse.
2. I frequently enter research window just to look up how many bulbs i
produce. So i would prefer this figure advertised on the
research button. I understand additional info pops up if mouse
rests over the buttons, but it's even faster not to have to do so.
3. Messages and chat is in the same window. chat can occupy the whole window,
but as soon as a message is printed, chat is restricted to 3 lines, everything
else is for messages, even if
messages do not need that space. I understand there is scrollbar
at the side, but no means to set the size of chat section of window, which,
for me, is not acceptable. There should be either possibility of adjustment of
chat section or, in addition, a dedicated chat window (like cities, research
andsoon).
4. After Ctrl-D, confirmation window pops up. In gtk-client i get rid of this
window by hitting enter, which is not possible for me in qt-client, so i have
to leave keyboard and grab the mouse. Besides that, i'm opposed to obligatory
confirmation in general.
5. In nation window, i usually order nations according to score.
In gtk-client, this ordering is automatically maintained in the table after it
changes. So far there is no automatic reordering in qt-client, so i have to
double click on the appropriate head field to reorder manually.
6. Improvements upkeep is wrongly calculated in city dialog, if A. Smith's
trading company is owned, because this wonder obviously is not taken into
account.
In City dialog i had some problems where i need to find out if it's bug or
not. A general worklist editor seems to be lacking, so to make generic
worklists the actual worklist of some city needs to be emptied and restored
afterwards. What it looks like in gnome/gtk can be seen in screenshot.
