Just want to throw in my two cents.

For me, one primary use of Dwarf Therapist has always been its organized attribute list and citizen sorting capability.

With the Steam release, being able to assign roles may not be as important, but being able to sort through all the available information is still very valuable.

Agreed, even if it was limited to the animals, being able to sort through and nickname (or geld or butcher) them at a glance would make my livestock management so much simpler

Please excuse my denseness  , but I can't find a clear (for me) answer: do the labor optimizer & nicknamer work properly on the Mac version now?

Interesting bugfeature: When I go to tweak my optimization plans, a lot of the roles get messed up, ex: Job: Blacksmith/Role: Miner, Job: Miner/Role: Herbalist, etc. They aren't that way when I save, but if I go back in (to add a job/ change the #'s of jobs) they're all mesticated

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

While the prospects for !!Fun!! are tempting (does the shuffling get worse each time if I don't correct it? How badly matched will my dwarves end up?), I am still cleaning up from a rogue weremongoose walled in my new hospital. (The old one has an enormous, eyeless kinglet of a titan walled in it)

i'm having a hard time reproducing this, any other things you're doing before/after you edit? sorting on any particular columns, what kind of stuff do you change in the opt plan?

Usually if I'm going in to change, it's to reduce how many jobs per dwarf, since I have gained more idiotsworkers and can spread out the workload. I do re-sort columns later (I don't bother putting armorsmithing in, since I give that to almost everyone, in the hopes of lots of fey moods after they train up a bit).

Aaaaaaand I forget once again to mention I'm running the OSX version

Interesting.

Just finished reassigning a wave of migrants, and I switched over to my animal pane to see who had grown up & was ready for slaughter. All of a sudden, all my animals are listed & iconed as babies! They're all listed as "chicks", "foals", etc, and when I hover over them, their ages are all listed in months: 95 months, 58 months, etc.

The only ones apparently not affected are the exotics (coati, ibex, wolves). The adults show up properly, with their ages in years.

(Running the latest OSX Therapist for 40.06 from fricy)

EDIT: Still no clue on the "why" of it, but quitting DF itself entirely, and then reloading everything cleared it up.

Question/Feature Request:

Is it possible to tweak the Animals panel (either something that's already there that I'm overlooking, or something for a future release) to show the description of individual animals? You know, the stuff you get on their status screens: "gigantic", "enormous yet skinny" etc? It'd make it easier to decide who / how many to butcher.

(If this is something already brought up & discussed, sorry for missing it!)

i think what might work for you is sorting by the body size. right click on the column header above the name, and you'll have special sort options, including body size.

Cool. Thanks!

EDIT: Oddly enough, the text description in-game & the body size read by DT do not always match up. My largest ram by cm(3) is the "skinny" one, and the "muscular & enormous" one is the smallest! I'll have to track them for a few generations & see how it plays out.

[OSX] Dwarf Therapist 23.3 for 40.06

Ah curse you, didn't notice the OSX

Yay!

On a related note: anyone have any ideas why DT crashes whenever I try to modify a grid view? Copying is fine. Changing the name is fine. Deleting a set is fine. But when I got to edit the columns in a set (right-click in the right pane, specifically), it crashes.

i'll mess around and see if i can get a crash. if you've got some steps that can consistently reproduce it, let me know.

It doesn't happen on the Windows one, only the OSX. (Note to self: don't post while tired. You forget key info.)

I copy a grid to edit, open it, and right click on the right pane, where the columns in sets are listed. It immediately crashes. I can change the name of the grid, change the sets, save the grid & reopen it, do nothing except try to edit the columns and it will still crash when I go to edit columns.

It's just an annoying thing, because I'd like to have a Roles grid that matches the Alt Labors grid, with the custom Bee Keeper, etc roles added in to match.

do you have any custom professions or super labors?

Nope. Just a few custom roles: Bee Keeper, Glazer, etc. It worked 2 updates ago. This version of OSX Therapist and the one before it crash when I try to recreate the grid view I made earlier.

I'm going to attempt deleting the custom roles & remaking them from scratch & see what that does.
