Also graphs that use the same variables like "Time" should be able to be merged together into one chart. The user should have some sort of control over the data presentation. Bar charts, lines, etc. I would like to see a simple build order viewer in similar of SC2 style where it's a simple list with a timeline. | ||

I had it prior to the point that I hardened my anti-java stance and it was great. I miss it, but good lord do I not miss Java. Can you explain why no java? :D | ||

Installing java is like saying 'plz backdoor me' to some people. | ||

Check out for some reasons why: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html Java is actually one of the easiest languages to refactor and to replace one chunk of the code at a time. Java IDEs have amazing code refactoring tools which make it easy to quickly move things around, rename things, etc. You can then start replacing parts of the program piece by piece. Since the UI is the part you like the least, maybe start by making a completely new interface and then connect it to the old code. You can then delete all the bits of the old UI. You can repeat such a process until things start looking completely new. And every step of the way you'll have a working product. And you can always start using Java 7 features any time you'd like--even on the old codebase. One thing I'd highly suggest with the new interface: do user tests on it. Write up a script that prompts people to do the types of tasks you'd expect a normal user to do. Have people try to follow the script while you watch and optionally video tape (with your phone is fine) without saying a single word or helping them. You can get amazing feedback on what's working and what isn't user interface wise that way. Nice read. Doesn't really apply in this case though for several reasons. Sc2gears wasn't a team job but a one-man job. So is the successor. The same "team" is used to develop the successor than the old which completely understands the old code, and there are facts backing up that the same functions will be written better. The only difference between the "old" and "new" team is that the new team has all the experience and knowledge of the old plus a big extra. Also the old code is not thrown away completely, many of them are reused, refactored, integrated in or influences the new code big time. I know about refactoring Java, but the changes involve so many components and concepts that in the long run I think this was the better idea. And on the other hand the old code contained parts based on hundreds of hours of reverse engineering and "guessing" which - due to the official replay parsing support from Blizzard - are really outdated or have been proved unnecessary or have been proved being wrong. Also Java 7 contains some new features which I implemented on my own in the past (when they were not available) but are not needed anymore because Oracle finally decided to write them on their own and include them in Java 7. | ||

Bar charts, lines, etc. I would like to see a simple build order viewer in similar of SC2 style where it's a simple list with a timeline. That simple build order extraction and display was not possible accurately in old relay versions (because they did not contain enough information), although Sc2gears has a feature which does its best to calculate it accurately. Right click on a replay and choose "Show build orders table". Starting from replay version 2.0.8 more info is included in replays which is enough to show accurate build orders. So accurate build order will surely be implemented (sooner or later). | ||

Yes, from time to time security holes are discovered in Java due to its sandboxing model. But these security issues only apply to Java applets that are run inside browsers, and these issues are completely irrelevant to desktop java applications! (And of course Sc2gears and the successor are desktop applications not applets.) Java does not pose any bigger security risk if you disable Java applets in your browser than any other programming technology. If you use the Chrome browser for example, it doesn't even run Java applets without your confirmation. And you can disable Java applets in any browser. Once you do this, you have been successfully and completely sealed yourself from all Java vulnerabilities that you might read about in the news. | ||

I have a suggestion, it would be nice to be able to leave notes about players and see them in the loading screen. So for bar codes over time you can know who is who for sure, and also you can leave notes in lower leagues about this guy is a cheeser, this guy went nexus first or things like that. Sometimes you see the name of players and you're not sure if you've already played them or not so your program could help. | ||
