Re: [Scidvspc-users] Patch ScidVsPC - Allow visualisation of Main PV on analysis board

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Ok, Hanish's feature is looking nice - nearly finialized - and is included
in subversion now.
(I've modified it a bit, so not exactly how Hanish envisioned it, sorry
mate).
Check out svn and after installation select "Show Board" and  "Sequential"
in the tools->Analysis window.
Screenshot attached. Cheers, S.A.
