»SOS Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 The "open as read-only" checkbox is ignored in the open file dialog. It still saves and overwrites fine. Drop the checkbox, I see no need for it. Either that, or make it actually work I hope VB6 is not too old to support removing or using that checkbox...
»SOS Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Posted May 12, 2006 'Too many maps are already open' error message has no error icon (all errors should have it!). Also, the message is rather bad english. Also, it has a grammar mistake (are should be is)"Too many maps are already open." is better.
»SOS Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Posted May 12, 2006 Discard tileset should ask for confirmation Eithe rthat or it should be undoable, but I understand DCME's undo system is too primitive to support that. Not worth it to change the system just for such tiny things Although if WallTiles come, then perhaps a more thorough undo system could be of use...
»SOS Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Posted May 12, 2006 1) Gee, my screen is not 300x300 pixels! Spell out "compatible"! (Save SSME comp.) 2) Use proper capitalization. Aka "Export tileset", not "Export Tileset". 3) The menu item for "Save SSME comp" should have the three dots after it (any item that pops up another window needs the three dots). Maybe there are more items that do not follow this rule. Yup: open; save minimap; import tileset; export tileset; switch/replace; rotate; count tiles; add text to map; add picture to map; about.
»SOS Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Posted May 12, 2006 Does Save Mini-map even do something? Because besides asking for some size, it does absolutely nothing for me... Also, what IS a minimap in the first place?? PS. Save minimap prompt has French "Cancel" button
»SOS Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Posted May 12, 2006 Flip/Rotate menu items should be should be disabled if nothing is selected. The worse option is showing an error message. The worst option is just doing nothing and (in case of rotate) not even popping up the window.
Drake7707 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 Flip/Rotate menu items should be should be disabled if nothing is selected.i know it should, it's just hard to keep track of when you throw some .enable= false or true somewhere, and you need to be certain that covers all possible ways to disable or enable it

Also, what IS a minimap in the first place?? PS. Save minimap prompt has French "Cancel" buttonrofl, sama played a bit with that code, seems it's messed up now (no offense sama). It worked however, it dumps the entire pixel picture (so 1024x1024 picture) to a specified bmp, and also you could set the dimension, like 512 to have only a resized 512x512 picture It worked when i last did something to it, now it doesn't work anymore, so it's not my fault
Drake7707 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 are we on the "minor mistakes, not really life threatening, but good to list them anyway"-tour ? this will take a while to add to the bugs list
Drake7707 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 Discard tileset should ask for confirmation Do you want to discard the tileset ? YES NO --> exit sub | -> really ? YES NO --> exit sub | -> it'll be gone, honestly, REALLY? YES NO --> exit sub | -> discard would that be enough ? yeah you're right, and erhm undo/redo is more for actions on the map tiles itself, not really anything else
Drake7707 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 'Too many maps are already open' error message has no error icon (all errors should have it!). when you spend a lot of time writing comments, and writing code, some times you don't even realise you have to be more grammatical correct when asking something and i don't like the "dunnnn" sound of windows when it gives an error

Samapico Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 err... I merged all these related threads.. but then they all lost their !@#$%^&*les so it might not seem to make much sense.... but they were all fixed apparently... its just that it made some useful threads get on 2nd page edit: I edited slightly all the posts so it now makes some sense...
