Nested relationship windows
« on: February 16, 2008, 06:55:00 pm »

Not exactly a bug, but I'm sure it's not supposed to work this way.

When you look at a dwarf's relationship screen (p, v, r), you can view (v) their friends, family, and acquaintances; you can then view the relationships of those dwarves (r).  However, if you've followed the chain through a number of dwarves, you have to (space) back through *all* of the menus you've looked at to get out; (space) won't take you straight back to the game.

As of Valentine's Day, we do. [v]-[p]-[z]-[r] on any dwarf will bring up the relationships screen. With regards to the OP, I think it's a matter of preference.  Personally, I like being able to trace my way through screens instead of just being dumped back to the game everytime and having to go through all of the menus again to have to get back to where I was if I were to look at another aspect.

EDIT: Hah, okay, just looked at the screen, and saw "Deity: Deg is a deity of the Awe-inspiring Gilded Channels. Deg most often takes the form of a female dwarf and is associated with trade and wealth."

Until there's something like an interface, maybe something like SPACE vs. shift+SPACE?

Shift+Space to return straight to the game and Space to backtrack through everything would work perfectly imo.

Seconded, that sounds like a great way of handling it.
