Show move numbers on all side panels #304

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

These probably qualify as enhancements rather than bugs (except maybe the
"Score View" up/down key behavior).

Noted on Philidor 0.8beta4

Side Bar - "Score View": Current behavior allows mouse click on any part of
graph to reposition pieces to that point in the game.  Should be able to
navigate up-down graph using up-down keys one move at a time.  "Move
History" and "Comments" currently work this way.

Side Bar - "General": Current behavior allows one view only.  Provided the
screen real estate (1680x1050 is common and gives plenty of extra room), it
would be nice to display multiple views at the same time (e.g. "Score",
"Comments", and "Move History").  These different views should be
synchronized (that is, when you scroll through "Move History", "Comments",
etc should follow along).

Side Bar - "Comments": Move Number should be listed (as it is under "Move
History" view)

My favorite chess client - Thanks!

One additional comment - when using the up/down/left/right keys on the "Move 
History"
side bar, the side bar does not up or down as the highlighted/selected move goes
above or below the visible moves.

The "Comments" side bar does scroll up/down with the selected comment (that is, 
if
the next comment to be selected is off screen it will scroll into view as the 
up/down
key is pressed).

I've fixed the first one in trunk.

The second one I think is handled by another report already, or at least it is 
very
much in the minds of the developers to change the sidepanels into something 
more like
monodevelop and anjuta.

Number three is very interesting, so I'll rename the report after that. I think 
you
are very much right.
However if the layout is changed, so that you can see more than one panel at the
time, perhaps showing move numbers one each panel is not such a good idea after 
all?

Agreed and that just occurred to me after posting my last comment.  If multiple 
views
are displayed at the same time, multiple move numbers would probably just 
clutter the
interface.  If the single view at a time is maintained, I think it makes sense 
for
those views to be consistent and display the move number per entry.

Thanks for your consideration!  Again, I'm really enjoying the interface - after
trying 5 or 6 Chess Clients, PyChess is by far my favorite and just seems to 
make
sense.  Great work!
