FG version 2021-12

[fabiocm]

I really appreciated the visual changes in the latest version of FG (from 2021-12), but I have some questions and suggestions.

First of all, I need to say I wasn't following the Laboratory since lights went live, so the big patchnote list in the update was really a good surprise, since I was thinking the changes was occurring too slow this year.

Then:
1. The console is opening as the campaign start without show any errors. It wasn't before the update. Is this normal or something must be wrong?

2. I loved the icons and the new sidebar appearance. However, I think would be better if the icons was at the right rather than the left, since this would make easier to recognize the button when we overlap it whit another frame, like the image below.

No the console shouldn't open. Make sure that you are testing without any extensions.

The idea about having the icons right side is actually intriguing.

Agreed. And right aligning the text with it. Probably should get added to the Wish List :)

Along with multiple screen support ;-) Or at least tabbed windows or something.

I also already had the idea of right-aligned icons because I read several times about screen real estate of some people since the last patch :)

@console: make sure you scroll down the console. I often have the problem that the console does not automatically jumps to the bottom where the error is displayed. At the top you often see just some generic information which may have made you think that there is no error :) You may have an erroneous extension :)

Am I missing something? I noticed the new sidebar and the decal changes today, but it completely threw me off. I don't see any update notes or a changelog. There's nothing posted here:

I thought something was actually wrong with my games because I didn't even see where an update was applied to FG. It's still showing version 4.1.12 for me.

The launcher's release notes do sadly not list ruleset updates anymore. For the ruleset updates you need to go to the city hall, here is its post (look at the attached link): https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?71672-FG-Ruleset-Updates-2021-12

The client (program) and ruleset (framework) updates have been released mostly separately for about the last year, and are tracked in separate release note announcements.

We try to always announce updates in the City Hall forum.

Ah, thank you, sir.

Right aligned icons would be nice as an option.

[Nick Frost]

I really like the right-sided icons idea! It would certainly improve screen real state!

I just added it to the wishlist in https://fgapp.idea.informer.com/proj/fgapp?ia=137908

Hmmmm ... Really Like the collapsing sidebar ... just a quick question ... Where is the option button for what sidebar buttons you want viewed?

They are all visible now, no more options to hide certain library. You can hide sections.

OK that's what I thought. Got a concerned email from one of my players/budding GM (Traveler). I guess his current lesson today is ... things change. :)

Thanks!!!

I as well love the new sidebar. Seems like I have much more real estate now.
