Re: [Scidvspc-users] Setup Board: Purpose of Invert, Transpose?

You're right that this board set-up isn't great, or very easy to grasp.
And it needs drag and drop, but the coding is non-trivial.

Maybe a simple 'flip' would be an idea, but it is achievable by an
invert+transpose,
and we need a transpose to compliment the search current-board feature -
which doesnt have a transpose option.

I just made these buttons because i'm often setting up positions from (a
vague) memory
and these three cover all the bases for when i forget which colour i was.

PS. I looked at quickly adding a transpose to search current-board but this
is certainly
non-trivial. *If anyone would like to get their hands dirty coding
<transpose> for
tkscid.cpp::sc_search_board, it would be great*. The existing <flip> option
is for "Ignore Colours" and is not a transpose.
