Re: Golly bugs
Is it down for improvement now? It gives a "301 Moved Permanently" message and points to this link , but when trying to access that site in Golly, an error pops up: " Unable to open requested HTML document: file://https/gliders/golly_index.html ". Works fine in Golly 4.2b1 (which now supports https...

Re: Golly suggestions
Also, when I click and initiate a paste event at the same time, Golly quits with a wxWidgets debug warning. I was able to reproduce this, but only on my Mac and only when typing cmd-V rather than just V. I'm pretty sure the warning is spurious (due to a bug somewhere in the wxMac code) but I've com...

fix for links in Golly's Online Archives
Recent changes to conwaylife.com (and trevorrow.com) have broken the top 3 links in Help > Online Archives. The links redirect to https links which are not supported by the wxHTML class used by Golly. The long term solution is to switch to wxWebRequest which does support https, but until that happen...

Not sure. Maybe Big Sur automatically changes the icon color to help distinguish different versions of the same app.LaundryPizza03 wrote: ↑February 4th, 2022, 2:10 amWhy did the dock icon for Golly 4.1 suddenly change from yellow to green?

Re: Golly suggestions
Right... But if the layer is clean, it's because a backup has just been saved, so having the option to cancel isn't so urgent in that case. (?) Maybe, but you might do a save, make further changes, then undo back to the save point. An accidental close at that point means you lose the chance to redo...

Re: Golly suggestions
Suggestion: Make golly automatically save your pattern if you accidentally close it or it crashes (or when a power outage happens). Go to the Preferences > Layer pane and make sure the "Quitting application" option is ticked. Then if you accidentally close Golly and there are unsaved changes (ie. t...
