Toggle symmetry globally #18

Closed jdacre closed 2 years ago

jdacre commented 2 years ago

Dear Viresh,

You have made an exquisite tool and I am loving it! One small recommendation I would make is to include an option to toggle symmetry on/off globally, rather than just for next cell changed, as I desire to make some grids with reflectional symmetry but no rotational symmetry - and perhaps some with little symmetry of any kind. If this doesn't affect other functionality, I feel this might be a very useful option.

Kind regards,

Josh - a new and impressed user

I've made this change with v0.65 now:

Make the "Do not force symmetry" option sticky. Previously, it applied to just the next bar/block change. If someone's likely to break symmetry, they are likely to do that across a puzzle rather than just at a few cells, so for them the old way was painful. Make this option stick with the specific crossword (so that for a new crossword we default to enforcing symmetry).

And, oh, thanks for the kind remarks, much appreciated!

I've completed two crosswords in the past 2 days and working on another now, such an intuitive and helpful toolkit, wonderful work Viresh!

Closing the issue (pls reopen if needed). Also, feel free to share any public links to crosswords that you (anyone!) may have constructed using Exet, on the Discussions page.
