And of course it wold be nice if the files of those types would be reresented by an icon advertizing their association with XBoard, rather than as a general text document. In particular, *.pgn files could get a chess-board icon, and clicking them should issue a command xboard -ncp -lgf $1 (perhaps setting some other options as well), where $1 is the clicked file, so that XBoard is started in game-viewer mode on the file by ust clicking the latter. Similarly, *.fen files should issue xboard -ncp -lpf $1 and they could have the same icon (like in WB). For a tournament file (*.trn). the required command would be xboard -mm -tf $1 to make XBoard start up in match mode according to the tourney specs in the tournament file. In WinBoard this works realy great now, and I did design a new icon for the *.trn files there.

This should be doable. Although on linux I think this is more an issue of the desktop manager, probably standardized by freedesktop.org? If I want to add this by hand on gnome, I can right click on a .pgn file and set the preferred application that I want to open this file with... not sure how to set this automatically during install of xboard though. There is /usr/share/applications/default.list that connects application to MIME-types, but then I'm not sure how to set the MIME-type... This might solve it though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30931/register-file-extensions-mime-types-in-linux Will look into that a bit more... seems like this would be something that we don't want to add to the install of xboard (not sure how this would work on non-linux systems), but rather have the distributions add it to their packaging.

I started pushing all the WinBoard fixes I had accumulated in the mean time
to hgm.nubati.net (= hgmaster branch), after syncing with Savannah.

There seems to e a problem, though, with the file browser. I suspect this
is a side effect of some of the general changes of the text widget settings
done for the internationalization, as the git log shows now changes in the
browser file, and the probem is definitely new:

If I use the browser through a browse button in another popup, (e.g. the
for setting the tournament file in the Match Options dialog), it seems to only
copy the first character of the selected file name to the file-name field.
I put some debug prints in the browser, and it seems the problem occurs
in SFsetText() in path.c, in this piece of code:

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0text.firstPos =3D 0;
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0text.length =3D strlen(path);
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0text.ptr =3D path;
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0text.format =3D FMT8BIT;

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0XawTextReplace(selFileField, 0, strlen(SFtextBuffer), &text);
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0XawTextSetInsertionPoint(selFileField, strlen(SFtextBuffer));

This code is called when one clicks a filename in the lists in the browser window,
the clicked text being passed to it as 'path'. selFileField is the uppermost text widget
in the browser window, and the purpose is to load it with the clicked text.
Now what happens is that 'path' is OK: when I print it, it prints t= he complete clicked text,
and acknowledges the correct length of it in text.length. However, when I print the
contents of SFtextBuffer after the XawTextReplace, it only prints the first character.
Now SFtextBuffer is the 'use-in-place' string that is supposed to b= e in selFileField.
On the display I see that the selFileField widget contains the complete filename,
but it seems to be stored in the provided buffer array in a format that the rest of the
code no longer understands. The InsertionPoint is set after the first character, which is
aready suspicious. It seems like the buffer does not store the text in an 8-bit encoding,
leading to null bytes in between the characters, which the rest of the code interprets as
end-of-string.

Other minor weirdnesses I observed are:
*) The browser seems to use a fixed-width font in its lists (but not in the text widgets).
*) The background of the font in all text widgets of al dialogs is now light gray. (I don't know
if this was intentional or even if it is desirable; I just noticed that it was different than before.)

It is not really part of XBoard, and I did not like the user interface of it very much anyway. GTK will come with its own file browser, I suppose. It is very inconvenient that the browser now doesn't work at all, though. Perhaps we can overrule the resource-database setting for this single useStringInPlace widget, and set international = False there, for the time being. I don't mind the fixed-width fonts so much, that is still workable, so we can ignore the font problem. The way the XBoard front-end has evolved by now, it shouldn't be very difficult to provide our own browser dialog from scratch, using the GenericPopup routine. I could define a dialog with two single-line text widgets for the file name and the extension filter, a large multi-line text widget for the (filtered) directory contents, and the standard OK & cancel buttons. The only thing that would really have to be programmed is a callback for clicking in the contents widget, which should either transfer the clicked name to the filename widget (if it is a file), or change to the clicked directory (possibly "..") and refresh the list. Internationalization should then automatically work, like in all other dialogs. I will have a look into it next week.

The first attempt is in a new branch ('browser') of the hgm.nubati.net repository. It is mainly to get an impression of how it would come to look, although it sort of works. It behaves a bit weird w.r.t. giving focus to the windows, and I did not implement sorting of the files (except that directories go first). Browsing for a path name still does not work. I can use it for loading files and got a good game list, but crashed after one move when I selected a game. (Not sure if this is because of a defect in the file.)

I added path browsing to it. The reason it crashed before was that I had broken the comment popup, which I moved to another dialog number to 'make space' for a second transient dialog (so that 0 and 1 could be transient), which was needed because the browser has to be up at the same time as other transient dialogs calling it through their 'browse' buttons. So the browser worked fine, but as soon as I had loaded games, and they had comments in them, the -autoDisplayComment caused XBoard to crash at te first commented move. I guess such is the risk of the bad practice of using hard-coded numbers rather than macos/enums. (But it was not designed for ever changing it...) Anyway, it works now, both for filling filename and path fields in the other dialogs, and directly from the File menu for Load Game/Position etc. There are some minor cosmetic problems: *) It does not sort the files in the dir listing *) clicking a file or folder in the listing to select it / move there, sometimes causes spurious selection of a group of characters there. *) For reasons I don't understand the window manager wants to give focus back to the main XBoard window after you close the browse dialog, rather than the dialog that called it, even though I do give focus to a field in the latter on closing the browser window. (And that field does get the cursor, so I assume it worked.) *) What I also don't understand is that when I use the browser a second time, it pops up _behind_ the dialog where I operated the 'browse' button from to summon it. Again, popping it up involves focus to a text widget in the browser dialog. *) I actually had to change focus to another widget than that was initially put in focus during popup, (namely the extension-filter field, being the lower-most text widget), or the event handler I added to that widget (for reacting to and ) was not initially operational. Fishy... *) I did not add yet the responses to and (for OK and cancel) in the filename field that I had added to the old browser. In fact I want to check if I cannot make that a general feature of all single-line text widgets in the dialogs. And then perhaps also add to move focus the next text widget in the dialog. *) I also did not implement double-clicking a file in the listing as an OK equivalent, or use of the mousewheel to scroll the listing. I felt less need for that here, as the OK button is not in such an awkward place as it was in the GhostView dialog, and the scroll bars seem to work much less erratic too (perhaps because the Xaw implementation of them is better). Please tell me what you think! Is this an improvement over the GhostView browser, or do we better stick with the latter?

I had an XBoard shortcut on the desktop of my Ubuntu, which was shown as a black knight icon. I don't recall at what time this was made, and who supplied that icon. But installing Ubuntu 10.04 altered the desktop background, and in places the new background it is very dark. As a consequence, the XBoard icon is now nearly completely invisible! We should check that at least the icons we supply ourselves are not completely monochrome, to guard against such events. The icon used by WinBoard is also a black knight, but it has a silver lining.

Stop. > elothas@Inspiron-530s:~/Downloads/xboard-4.5.2a$ sounds strange... can you post the output of ./configure somewhere (e.g. pastebin.com). I assume you are using the latest tar-ball from the gnu web page? thanks for reporting this Arun From MAILER-DAEMON Fri Jun 24 19:19:57 2011 Received: from list by lists.gnu.org with archive (Exim 4.71) id 1QaFfJ-0002fl-3B for mharc-bug-xboard@gnu.org; Fri, 24 Jun 2011 19:19:57 -0400 Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([140.186.70.92]:54573) by lists.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1QaFfG-0002fO-Cc for bug-xboard@gnu.org; Fri, 24 Jun 2011 19:19:55 -0400 Received: from Debian-exim by eggs.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1QaFfE-0006gX-VH for bug-xboard@gnu.org; Fri, 24 Jun 2011 19:19:54 -0400 Received: from smtp-vbr5.xs4all.nl ([194.109.24.25]:1082) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1QaFfE-0006gC-F1 for bug-xboard@gnu.org; Fri, 24 Jun 2011 19:19:52 -0400 Received: from CHESS_LAPTOP (a80-100-28-169.adsl.xs4all.nl [80.100.28.169]) by smtp-vbr5.xs4all.nl (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id p5ONJipv089502 for ; Sat, 25 Jun 2011 01:19:44 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from h.g.muller@hccnet.nl) Message-Id: <4.2.0.58.20110625011621.02e56e70@pop.hccnet.nl> X-Sender: h.g.muller@pop.hccnet.nl X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.2.0.58 Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2011 01:19:43 +0200 To: bug-xboard@gnu.org From: "h.g. muller" In-Reply-To: <1308884554.14021.YahooMailClassic@web39402.mail.mud.yahoo. com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed X-Virus-Scanned: by XS4ALL Virus Scanner X-detected-operating-system: by eggs.gnu.org: FreeBSD 4.6-4.9 X-Received-From: 194.109.24.25 Subject: Re: [Bug-XBoard] Xboard installation problem.

Because it is the very purpose of ./configure to create a makefile... If configure terminates with error messages, it is not joking!
