Mac RC Bugs and Suggestions

[cbk1994]

This thread is for reporting of glitches in the Mac RC, not the scripted in-game RC.

Glitches:

• Keyboard shortcuts like "command + Q" and "command + W" don't work
• Windows shortcuts work for cutting and pasting; command shortcuts don't.
• None of the option-key shortcuts work ("alt"), such as "option + a" to apply the script.
• Closing the main RC window quits RC completely.
• Dragging a file in the file browser crashes RC; this can include resizing columns if the mouse happens to drag a file; moving files also doesn't work.
• Uploading files into the file browser by dragging doesn't work
• Syntax highlighting seems to be using another language.

Suggestions:

• Add an icon to the menu bar (at the top of the screen) to display PMs, or display them as bubble notifications in the dock icon (similar to iChat).

Glad to see Mac has finally got an Remote Control Client but forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't it using the Linux Remote Control but adapted for use on Mac? If so they should have done this years ago. It seems the most likely solution to building the Remote Control for Mac.

The problem with most of these suggestions is that the RC has no Cocoa interfaces, it is literally the Linux RC compiled against gtk-osx. Some of these things are only really possible if Stefan is prepared to add some Cocoa code to the RC to support the menubar (which at the same time supports cmd key shortcuts) and Dock icon.

The Mac RC has been added to the downloads on the login server (click Start -> Install Packages -> Developer).

Modifications to the beta version:
- shows a pm icon on the dock icon similar to v6 (click on it doesn't open the PM though)
- disabled drag'n'drop to prevent crashes
- new GTK version although I'm not sure if that is improving things

We have updated the Mac RC: you can now double-click on files in the file browser to open them in the default viewer or editor.

Aha, about the crashes... Happens with me, take a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkGcCdgKsTQ, and btw i know about how to get to the Graal folder just ignore the first 30 sec of vid...

[FateDog]

It keeps crashing on me, and rarely finishes the download.

Keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work at all (both with control and command.)

Is anyone else having this problem? Would like to use the latest RC but can't for this reason.

Stefan?

I don't know if this was mentioned or if it works on PC but it does not work on Mac, it says upload files(s). But you can only select one at a time.. "I can't see my RC right now because I am in PA again instead of MD so my IP has changed once again. I'll be back in MD on Wed.

Hopefully I can help and find other things..
