#129 colored fields and arrows are not displayed in ChessBase or Lichess

[Frank Eschenauer]

Colored squares and arrows set in ChessBase17 or on Lichess are displayed by Scid in version 5.0.2. But it does not work the other way round!
If fields or arrows are marked or drawn in color with Scid, Scid uses its own coding, which cannot be read or displayed by Lichess or ChessBase.
How can I change the color coding for squares and arrows in Scid so that it corresponds to the coding of ChessBase and Lichess? After all, Scid can read them, it just doesn't write them!
Will the color coding for arrows and squares in the commentary editor be adapted to the cross-platform notation?
If so, when?
Greetings Frank

You can use the comment editor and insert the color coding manually as a comment:
Arrow(s):
[%cal Bc2d7]
draw a blue arrow from c2 to d7
[%cal Gd2d4,Re1g1]
draws an green arrow from d2 to d4 and an red arrow from e1 to g1

Mark Square/s):
[%csl Yh8]
marks the square h8 yellow
[%csl Ra3,Ga4]
marks the square a3 red and square a4 green

Colors: B: blue G: green R: red, Y: yellow; Chessbase supports also O: orange, C: cyan
