Country filter suggestion

[coyot]

Hello!

 

There is one thing I miss in the country filter - and that is presets.

The one preset I would be very glad to see is fellow countrymen.

Would it be possible to add a button that sets the country filter to match the country of the player? This should be quite easy to implement.

 

More complicated but fairly useful:

 

a) custom preset (perhaps .ini file)

 

:unsure: some prepared presets - the first idea that comes to mind would be language-based

At least English/French/Spanish/Portuguese/Russian/German are languages that are spoken each in several countries and so it would be nice to be able to filter players by language.

 

c) this would be a lot of work in future - allow players to specify in their profile which language they speak enough to use for bridge. You could then set filters for events/tables.

I second the sentiments.

 

I want to be able to identify other players from the same region, without hiding all the rest. Currently I achieve this by setting all players from the same region as being friends -- effectively giving up the use of the "friends" flag for its intended purpose, and obviously disabling the feature that notifies me when a "friend" logs in.

 

In my case any alternative solution is complicated by the fact that I would want to classify anyone from "England", "Great Britain", "Scotland", "Wales", "Ireland" and "Northern Ireland" in the same class for identification.

 

The system has worked pretty well for me up to now. This week I hit a glitch when all the world seemed to change their country to England, but that will settle down again presently I guess.

I hope that one day one can set languages in the profile. Since yiou can set a tourney filter "by language" i expect this will come.

I also second the suggestion -- I too would like to be able to see my countrymen/women and preferably in a group at the beginning of the list (with counrty flags?) :(
