Here are some of the things that are high on my to-do list for The Tournament Director. These are by no means a promise of functionality or improvements, nor is this a complete list, but these are the things that I would most like to do with the software:
Internationalization
It's unlikely I will translate the application into any language, but I do intend to make it translatable. This means removing all text from the main program into language catalogs, and would allow anyone to translate the program themselves if they chose to do so. Besides, it's good programming practice.
Change to a clock window/settings window model
The clock page (or seating chart or rankings page) should always be visible, either full-screen or in a window. The settings should be in another window (always-on-top of the clock window), and the user should be able to close the settings window at any time. Many laptops have a standard TV output, and when connected to a display, show two desktops - one on the laptop, and one on the external display. By having the settings in another window, the clock page could be displayed to the players at all times on the external display. Plus, the tournament director (the person), could open the settings and make adjustments on the laptop's display while the clock is still displayed to the players on the external display.
Ad-hoc break
Add an option/hotkey for instigating an "ad-hoc" break. An ad-hoc break would pause the tournament clock and enter a break for a predetermined amount of time. When the break was over, the clock would resume exactly where it left off when the ad-hoc break began.
Player names
Remove restriction on unique Nicknames for players, and add an option to display users by their nickname, first name, last name, or any combination thereof.
More hotkeys
Add hotkey actions for going directly to any of the various tabs on the Settings page
Update the blinds suggestion tool
Suggesting blinds is a difficult process. David Maybury has done some excellent work on this and I might try to implement some of his suggestions.
