congratulations, let us know of any strange issues, some of us developers don't have tables yet ;)
Chew Terr wrote:A few questions:

Andgs: Is there an option to enable coordinates? I'd like to have them when reviewing games, and I'm spoiled by the forum. Second, I was setting up some of my games from OGS for autoplay in their own folder, but the 'browse' dialogue doesn't seem to let me actually change directories. Am I doing something wrong?

There is a Board Coordinates checkbox in the Preferences menu off the anDGS Home page.

The browse will let you change directories. When browsing in Autoplay, the browse function needs to know if you are entering the directory to selecting something else (either another directory or a file) of if you are selecting the directory for an auto play of the entire directory. The popup that says select or enter is asking this question. If you are running through a bunch of directories (up or down through the directory tree) this extra popup at each step can be a bit tedious.

This is a case of get it functional and then improve it if needed. Thinking about it now, it might be better to simply browse with a short press and maybe use a long press to select. Individual file selection has no ambiguity.

Try it and if you would like a different model like the short/long press for directory names let me know and I will put it in. (it may be better to also PM me as I might miss a post here)

Thank you! First, I can't believe I somehow missed the coordinates option. Secondly, I had a bit of trouble grasping the folder selection in the toop at first, but after having read your post, I found it and am very pleased with the functionality. Set it up with an extended series of games I played on OGS, and played it with a 3-second delay or so, and I'm enjoying it as a background entertainment. =D
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].

Can you post it here or send it to me. I'll check it out. Kogo's also make it freeze, and I do want to fix that. I have a couple of other projects first for when I get the time.


The SGF is posted here:
viewtopic.php?p=22417#p22417
I'm not that worried about it, because I'm not really trying to study that game, I just was going to use it as a sample to test the coordinate option. I'll lte you know if I come up with any real questions, I'm still too novice to know what to ask. =D Still figuring out what the tablet itself can do. =)



I just tested the sgf, and it worked for me on the current version of gobandroid. What failed for you?

Oren: Hmmm, on the loading screen, it says 'Loading SGF' and the move shown is move 28.

Also, I don't remember if this has been posted before, but the 6-stone handicap placement is improper. It had three on the left, two on the right, and one in the middle. Not a huge thing, but seemed odd.
