#54 Option to autosave games in separate pgn files
The current method of saving games - in a single file (for example, ~/.eboard/mygames.pgn) - allows the file to grow quite large and unmanageable.
It would be great to have an option to make eboard autosave the games in separate files, named according to the opponent and date (for example: ~/.eboard/mygames/kasparov-warriorness-06.06.1945.pgn ) or possibly even sorted in separate folders according to the opponent ( ~/.eboard/mygames/fischer/warriorness-fischer-01.01.2001.pgn ).
Another idea would be to add a button which you press if you want to save the current game or the last one. This would bring a simple dialog with text fields to fill, like: players names (autofill) and comments for the game, and filename/path option. I think many players want to save only selected games for analysis and want to enter a simple comment for the game.
Yes, I think both of the ideas would be very useful. I think it would be quite easy to implement these features.
