Re: [Scidvspc-users] Scidvspc-users Digest, Vol 6, Issue 1

[Slobodan R. S. <sl...@ya...>]

Hi Steven,

I had a look today at the newest version: 4.6.
PGN windows does not have vertical scrolling bar. I thought it was solved, but...

Regards.

>This weekend i'm working on adding the ability to observe multiple games on FICs. Attached is a proof on concept screenshot. It took me ages to find the APIs to make a little board as it's been a while...

>Mulitple games and move animation will be supported, and games can be observed while you play one yourself (which is currently impossible), but I'm not sure about the widget layout. I was thinking of having a whole row of games placed *inbetween* the console and clock/buttons, but there is room for one or two games where i have it in the screenshot, so i'll probably put them there. The small game will not be navigatable (ie. it will show the current position *only*), but hopefully i'll enable loading any browsed game to the main board in full.
