Re: [crossfire] gcfclient options deathlist
Ok, to try and summarise from this. (this is how I'm reading the existing responses, yell if you think this isn't a fair summary). Not a target for removal: Split Information Window (Takes effect next run) Automatically re-applies a container when you use apply to close it. Still targeted for removal: (on) Colored Inventory Lists (on) Colored Information Text - maybe to be replaced by some future feature (off) Print Grid Overlay (on) Cache Images (on) splash window (gros' suggestion) Options on how to display resistances: - keeping the two options involving scroll bars, but still haven't heard from an advocate of the no-scrollbar option (if this were removed, it could go from 3 buttons to 1) the options in the list above need someone to claim the use of them sometime within the next fortnight. ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire

Yes, it would be best to remove that option from the menu IMHO. Could we also make quit ask the person if they really want to delete their character (and then ask again for confirmation)?

Well, it wouldn't be if you instead suggested that the menu entry be removed altogether. I'm inclined to think that the better option, it isn't as though the quit command should be used particularly often. ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire __ Do You Yahoo!?

Update about cached images, if we have checksumming (not sure if we do) that will update the cached image if said image is out of date, then cached images should be set to on as that will decrease bandwith usage. --- Brendan Lally [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have been poking around gcfclient recently, and found a lot of options that seem to be at best of limited use, and possibly never used by anyone, so what I have done, is created a list of the options in gcfclient's settings menus which I believe are unused, or always set to the same value. I am going to list the option, as well as what I think it should be set to. If anyone wishes an option listed here kept, they can reply claiming their use/need of it. If after 2 weeks, no one has 'claimed' an option, then I argue that it can be assumed to be safe to remove.
