Something seems to be off with migrant waves... Seems clicking Read Dwarves doesn't work as it used to?  I had to relaunch to get the new waves.

I noticed that, searched, and saw it was already reported: http://code.google.com/p/dwarftherapist/issues/detail?id=218&can=1 Fixed for a future release, too, apparently.

Ah... So does this mean the next version will fix that bug?
Or can I do something now... Because its just killing me inside

Yes it will be fixed in the next version, and you have to either wait for the next binary release, or compile yourself from source

Hrmmm I do have a compiler... But whenever I try compile other peoples code it never works... something about missing headers
I shall just wait, You guys are pretty fast with the releases

Sorting needs some real love. It has been a sort of ugly hack since the beginning. It sounds like you're asking for 2 things here.
1) Allow user to set preferred sorting order in options
2) Default to descending sorts on skill/labor columns

If you could enter those as tickets, they would be about 1000 times more likely to be implemented.
http://code.google.com/p/dwarftherapist/issues/entry?template=Feature%20Request

I will see about making those feature requests there later.

Yeah, that is two different things, I should have separated them better.  The second was more an observation that I remembered the version of Therapist I used with 40d defaulting to descending sort.(In fact, when it didn't, the first thing I did was go to options to see if there was an option that could be checked.)

Ya know, I loaded up the current version of Therapist today and now everything is defaulting to descending order again.  I am 100% sure that, at one point, it was doing ascending then descending on the second click, but now it isn't.

It's my one complaint about C/C++ development... the different compilers/environments handle includes just different enough to make it a real PITA sometimes.

I find it quite easy to find jobs as it is anyhow, you get used to the grouping scheme as time goes on.

Or you just make your own.  The skill grouping is all up to the user.  It was made that way for a reason.  I just wish I didn't need so many colors.  I always end up with one of my skill groups being nearly the same color as an activated or deactivated cell.   

I always thought it was a little strange that the column headers weren't slanted, but I have no trouble reading sideways.

I changed my active skills to a pure blue color and it works great.

I hope I speak for more than just myself when I say I'd love to see some screenshots of different color combinations and Gridviews people have made.

Gridviews are of course fully customizable and can be exported to a file and shared with other users who can import them all from inside DT.

File->Export Grid Views...
File->Import Saved Grid Views...

[Martin]

I had no idea you could do that. I'll have to play some...

Is there a link to the 40d version?

You want version 0.4.2 (http://code.google.com/p/dwarftherapist/wiki/SupportedGameVersions)

Can we view non-dwarf creatures somehow in this version?

I am trying to experiment with cattle breeding, but the game has some issues with the way animals are described: it merely gives you the highlights, ignoring important descriptions. It will say something like "She is incredibly skinny, but gigantic overall." Another says "She is very muscular and just gigantic overall."

However, the much faster (and thus possibly much stronger) cow is the skinny one. I nearly slaughtered her! I can't really tell from the silly descriptors. Certainly when restricted from viewing and examining cattle for the kind of judgments we could make in person, we should be given the information to make the same judgments.

Speed cows.

You are breeding cows for thier speed.

Cows

War Cows!

War Cows!

That is an epic cow.

War Cows!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That is an epic cow.

But it's missing beer and beards.  I know it's not "canon" that dwarfettes should be scruffy, but I would think an axe-demi-maiden should grow one...

I quibble only because I'm jealous of the artists ability where I have none...
