I was only going to test today but there were a few little items I wanted to work on, if time permitted. Well, time seemed to be permitting these.
Gear Crash
I trapped a really rare crash the other day. Was flying along in a space rocket and the game crashed while painting the icon on the screen of my current item in hand.
This was a very difficult bug to find, involving a read/write lock. I'm not sure that I got it. We'll see. This one is a bit too esoteric to try to explain.
Avatar Image
I miss having a picture of my avatar on the bio page.
Restored the bio page image using a different kind of widget. It's the one used when picking an avatar at the beginning. It lets you pan, turn, and zoom. A tool tip says what to do.
Save Game Comment
I found myself wishing I could identify game saves with a comment.
When Save Game is pressed, a dialog requests a comment. This is optional.
Translation
A review of translation strings showed quite a few had crept in that needed translating to French.
I translated all remaining untranslated strings to French. I used an online English to French translator. Fingers are crossed that the result makes sense.
