Is it meant to be possible to draw through the identify window?

Yes

These should both contain the same pattern but try pasting them into the viewer.html box and see what happens

The error message is correct. [R]History is not supported with LtL/HROT.

I'll probably run through each of the pieces to catch all of those short "push" partials and run them to completion, just to be safe. I doubt it will be very difficult or take much time, so I'm not too worried. I wonder, is anyone still stuck on particularly long-running pieces like I am with piece...

ALso, multistate patterns with no specified colours still seem to use pure black for the background instead of grey like golly does, is this intended?

Yes: LING

Is this what the advance colour option was referring to? I've seen the advance colour option but have never actually seen what it's been used for.

Yes

There seems to be a bug in the Ctrl+Space functionality, though -- the selected area jumps downward a sizable distance, and once the selection is cleared, the evolved pattern overlays whatever is down there. Ctrl+Space is still "experimental" (aka I didn't get round to finishing it before something...

It means I can't attempt to correct patterns like this though

I don't understand. What are you trying to do and what happens?

using the nudge option on a fully selected pattern seems to erase the entire pattern

If the pattern gets too close to the grid boundary then it will be deleted.

Also, this still seems to be reported as slope 1

Fixed, thanks!

Is this meant to be reported as a still life?

Yes. For B0 and also Alternating rules only every other generation is processed.

The normal grid, which looks like this...

And I though that was just my new glasses.

Hexagons should probably be squished downwards slightly. They're not completely regular True but they need to be like that for various reasons. When all cells die on this strobing rule, it stops strobing, is this intentional? a) I don't like strobing and b) Yes it's intentional - all patterns stop ...

Identify doesn't seem to count dying states when calculating the pattern's bounding box True, this is on the backlog. Can an in-viewer button of sorts be added for closing the identify table? Yes, done. Can the ability to view square grid patterns on a hexagonal grid be readded? No since that's not...

After thinking about Amdahl's Law I did some testing on running different numbers of threads vs different number of processes. I used piece0167 as my test since it completes the fastest and all tests were done on my desktop PC using Cygwin64: CPU: i7 2600K (quad core, hyper threaded) Memory: 16Gb Op...

A daft rendering bug with LifeHistory which allows for completely invisible cells This is probably my favourite bug recently. Thanks for reporting! I want to take the time to thank you for everything you've done for lifeviewer over the past year and a bit. Thank you too for your hard work to make L...

Here's the bash script I use to search multiple pieces over night. Save it in the search folder as "runsearch". I'm using this on Linux and Cygwin64. Features: Run multiple searches (just list them on the command line) ./runsearch piece0001 piece0002 piece0003 Resume a partial search using just the ...

I switched to Cygwin64 on Windows 10 and have had no more crashes. I'm running it on two desktop machines: One has an i5 quad core and the other an i7 quad core hyperthreaded. I'm running four threads on both. The quad core is at 100% cpu and the quad core HT at 57%.

I got a crash on 64bit Ubuntu Linux running piece0167: % ./qfind-c8 piece0167 t4 > output0167 *** Error in `./qfind-c8': double free or corruption (!prev): 0x00007f38e8000bb0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x777e5)[0x7f398bcc27e5] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0...

For lifeviewer thumbnails which expand/create a popup when clicked on, is there currently or can there be added a way to format the thumbnail independently of the opened viewer? No. Can an option be added that rounds off the corners of cells instead of having them be perfectly square shaped? No, bu...

Is it intended that when a lifeviewer window is moved and then closed, and a new one is opened, it appears in the old viewer's spot? Yes. There are also script errors on this page and patterns seem to be tracked along the wrong direction: http://lazyslug.no-ip.biz/lifeview/plugin/trackbox.html It's...

The script in the first post has been updated to handle spaces in folder names.

Might be prudent to also remove the direction and slope parameter for spaceships Done. Will mod be able to work properly for hex/tri oscillators in the future? Perhaps as part of a bigger piece of work to improve handling of non-square grids in general. For example hexagonal or triangular selection...

I'm unable to use the select tool in the torus with a zero dimension.

It should be fixed now - thanks for reporting!
