There are more important things to implement/improve first. And it could be much worse, the elements of the interface could just be unresizable...

Now how about that full text help file? It isn't much of a help when I can't see which key to press for any action. 

It is nice to see actually talking about this color picker button.. I only wondered..

If I pick color using that color picker window popup.. it lists new colors to that list. This is just a small suggestion, but would it be possible to select yet highlight selected color from that list, also show that color in color picker button (or maybe create another button for that) and when clicking it, it would open that same color picker popup window and that selected color's values are written on those text boxes.

Sometimes you want to work with same colors and only tweaking values just a bit (like lum/saturation), but don't want to set same values you have already used multiple times almost blindly. This would speed up colored lighting works a lot I believe. 

Also giving a color specific recognizable name would speed up picking right colors for different light entities. Name could be easily just simple string data, that will be shown when hovering color on that list of colors, doesn't sound too much work? 

You can submit your feature requests via the [issue tracker] link in the original post above. 

Maybe I'm blind, but weren't your posts as well part of feature/bug fixing requests (though not that straightforward like mine)? Now it is sent via the issue tracker too. 

Not really, no. I wasn't requesting new features, I was asking about stuff that should have worked. 

Do you still have problems? Pritchard : you can use number key 0 to toggle grid on and off, if that was what you were looking for? 

Well, the color issue is sorted out thanks to Pritchard. It leaves the help issue (see post #2223). 

I can't keep track of them otherwise 

That's why I told NewHouse to do so. I'll file a bug report for this help issue, I just wanted to know beforehand if there was a full text version available so as not to pester you with such a n00b request and detract you from more important work. 

I think it's a browser issue. Which one are you viewing the manual with? 

The one bundled with XP, i.e. IE (ayeee ayeee, that's funny!). Not by choice though: my main computer isn't connected to the internet so I can't install Firefox. 

I'm not going to start supporting a web browser from 15 years ago. Sorry. 

Trenchbroom tries to remember where you dragged those elements, but for me at least it forgets from time to time and I'm stuck with a view that's far too small to work in comfortably or really do anything.

This is now fixed: https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/issues/1434

Please submit these problems on github. I can't fix what I don't know about. 

Yeah, I figured as much, hence my question about a full text file. Oh well, I guess I can still figure out the keys with help from the keyboard shortcut chart, but it won't be nearly as handy as a simple help file. 

If you could install TB on that computer, you can install FF on that computer too... 

 

I don't need a connection to install TB. I download my stuff elsewhere. The only connection I currently have is through my phone (yeah I know, I sound a bit like a caveman - with a phone). TBH I haven't checked about FF but usually, modern programs that use internet also need a connection to install. 

There should be a hotkey to cycle between alternate clip planes when making a clip with only 2 control points. For example, if I select 2 points on opposite sides of a vertical cylinder (like a barrel) Trenchbroom will assume I want to slice it horizontally to make 2 stacked barrels. There should be an option slice in vertically (like splitting a log). 

If you are talking about placing clip points in the 3D view, TrenchBroom already allows you to control how the clip plane is extrapolated from two points. It depends on where you place the two points; specifically, it depends on the normals of the faces on which you have placed the points. For example, if you place two clip points on a face whose normal points upwards, then the clip plane with be vertical. If you place the points on a plane whose normal points sideways, the clip plane will be horizontal. This should be enough in most situations.

In 2D views, the clip plane is always "top down", that is, the normal of the clip plane points sideways. There's no way around that.

Offline installers for firefox. Download and transfer to you PC with your phone as you did with TrenchBroom. 

 

Thanks xaGe. I wasn't aware of offline installers for FF. Also, it seemed pointless to me to install a web browser on an offline computer, so I never checked.
