When I say I'm playing a FOSS mine game, a friend of mine ask me whether it supports question mark immediately. Fortunately, I was playing KMines on Windows, which does support question mark.

So, I hope gnomine can support question mark some day :)

I've tested gnomine in Ubuntu 11.10 and Fedora 16.

BTW, winemine can select whether question mark is enabled or not.
Comment 2 Robert Ancell 2012-02-18 10:13:29 UTC
You can enable question marks in Settings>Preferences>Use "I'm not sure" flags.  Are you requesting only being able to use question marks instead of both question marks and flags?  Who would choose this feature and why?
Comment 3 Ma Hsiao-chun 2012-02-19 02:01:27 UTC
I'm sorry for not doing my homework carefully.

Now I wonder why don't you enable "I'm not sure" by default?

The other way to ask that is "why should it be enabled by default?". Can you provide a good reason to change it from how it is now?

Personal preference does not make for a good reason as there are always people who prefer it to be different :)
Comment 5 Ma Hsiao-chun 2012-06-17 15:23:54 UTC
Since it is enabled by default on Windows and KDE?
Comment 6 Michael Catanzaro 2013-11-07 17:49:53 UTC
This makes sense; it's expected that question flags be provided. I'm not convinced we even need a setting to turn them off.

The following fix has been pushed:

The last other game of mines that I played on another platform did not support question flags and I cannot remember ever playing a game that had it by default. Therefore, I do not expect question flags to be provided, nor the default.

I always have question flags off because then I don't need or want to cycle through them and can get a better time without them.

That's good enough for me. Let the preference remain!
