If the saved game menu has more than 13 games, it won't be able to use 'n' for "new game" and 'q' for "quit". Switch to 'N' and 'Q' instead of just using the next letters in sequence. Only resort to next-letters if there are more than 39 games. tty and curses handle a list of many save files via menu pagination. X11 does so with one long page possessing a scroll bar. If there are more than 52 entries, selection via mouse is needed beyond 'Z'. Qt has one page without any scroll bar so won't provide access to the full set of save files when there are too many to fit on the screen.

Qt-NetHack issues
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Urgent: if the program crashes on OSX, a dialog box asking the user
|
|
whether to [ignore], [report...], or [re-open] will eventually appear
|
|
(it's slow). That should be repressed even if the report choice could
|
|
be directed at nethack.org.
|
|
|
|
Launching Qt nethack as a synchronous subprocess (ie, no trailing '&')
|
|
from a Terminal window, changing focus back to that terminal after
|
|
NetHack has started, and typing ^C was sending the program into an
|
|
endless loop in qt_nhgetch() with repeated messages to stderr
|
|
(the terminal) complaining that the event loop is already running.
|
|
Triggered by yn_function("Really quit?") in the core. That situation
|
|
has been reduced to a single event loop complaint, so downgraded from
|
|
"Urgent", but the prompt is auto-answered with ESC instead of letting
|
|
the user respond.
|
|
|
|
On OSX, if the program is run from nethackdir/nethack rather than from
|
|
NetHack.app/Contents/MacOS/nethack (plus having NetHack.app/Contents/
|
|
Info.plist containing pertinent information) then the menu bar at the
|
|
top of the screen won't accept mouse clicks and the application menu
|
|
entry in that menu bar will show as "nethack" (filename) rather than
|
|
"NetHack" (intended application name). The click issue can be worked
|
|
around by giving focus to some other application (which will put up
|
|
its own menu bar) and then back to nethack (thereby reloading nethack's
|
|
menu bar).
|
|
|
|
Sometimes scrolling a menu leaves the displayed text not matching what
|
|
nethack thinks is displayed, so making a selection by mouse click may
|
|
occasionally pick the wrong item. There's usually a visual clue when
|
|
this happens. As long as it's not a pick-one menu, scrolling up and
|
|
down or back and worth a few times will usually get things back in
|
|
sync, then you can click on the wrong entry to uncheck it and then on
|
|
the right entry to check that. Making a selection by typing its
|
|
letter doesn't suffer from this, but isn't always possible (ie, long
|
|
menu like 'O's where first 52 items have letters but remainder don't).
|
|
|
|
On OSX, command+Q while a menu (which has its own key event handler)
|
|
is popped up gets ignored. It should at least close the popup like
|
|
ESC and maybe also initiate quitting.
|
|
|
|
Map column #0, which the core reserves for its own purposes and isn't
|
|
intended to be displayed, is displayed (as blank terrain).
|
|
|
|
3.7 status conditions haven't been implemented.
|
|
|
|
3.6 status conditions (Stone, Slime, Strngl, Deaf, Lev, Fly, Ride)
|
|
have been implemented but need icon artwork (one 40x40 tile for each).
|
|
|
|
Clicking on window close button pops up a confirmation dialog with
|
|
[ Save and exit ] [__Quit_without_saving__]
|
|
with the second one highlighted. Internally they're specified as
|
|
"&Save" and "&Quit". Typing <return> or <space> picks Quit, but
|
|
typing 'Q' or 'q' picks Save-and-exit because Alt+Q is expected for
|
|
the keyboard shortcut.
|
|
|
|
The status window can't be resized while hitpointbar is active.
|
|
Toggling it off, resizing as desired, then toggling it back on is a
|
|
viable workaround.
|
|
|
|
When choosing a saved game to restore ('selectsaved' option), the
|
|
selection dialog does not provide any way to scroll if there are more
|
|
games than will fit on the screen. Access to "New game" and "Quit"
|
|
isn't affected because those both have distinct buttons rather than
|
|
rely on fake save file entries at the end of the list.
