set quiet value isn't being saved #36

Closed nsklaus closed 4 years ago

nsklaus commented 4 years ago

each time i connect on igs, i have to manually set quiet to be false. i want to see the server message. q5go doesn't seem to save my choice for quiet as it does for other settings, like: looking and open

Are looking and open saved server-side? Because q5go doesn't save them, as far as I can tell. The "server messages" description goes back to qGo and is probably a little misleading. If not in quiet mode, IGS will send updates when players join/leave and games start and end. The problem is, it's not super reliable - it ignores rooms, apparently it doesn't reliably identify black and white for games, etc. So the default is quiet mode for IGS; again going back to qGo (possibly also because updating the lists used to be very expensive on Windows). I suppose it would be possible to save the setting as a per-server value.

perhaps, when user clicks one of those buttons like 'quiet' save it as a setting in q5go somewhere, and have it send that value to igs each time user connects ? in my case for example q5go would always send "set quiet false" to igs at connection time, and this until i decide to click that button again to set quiet to true.

I think this is solved now.
