Re: [Chessx-users] updates

I would vote to get a general release out as soon as possible. With the current improvements there is a good chance of attracting more developers. Also a release
will show that chessx is alive and progressing.

Idea for Square Annotations
--------------------------------------

I have been giving a small amount of thought to square annotations but due to a very busy schedule have not started any coding. My idea is that we support both SCID and chessbase
square annotations with a more general flexible framework where the "color" part of  SCID or chessbase comments just refers to a 200x200 png file. so a file named "red.png" for example would contain a red square etc. If the file exists, then the png is drawn, if it doesn't exist then it isn't.  That way we could not only support any annotation color we wished not just those supported by chessbase or SCID , but other types of square annotations, such as using letters to match corresponding squares etc. we could store the square annotation files in either the data folder as we do for theme colors, or store them with the pgn file to allow user's to have custom annotations for their pgn files.
