Re: [Scidvspc-users] Patch: Analboard MovesVisualisation: Longer visualisation, SeqNum only for last few

[C H. M. <han...@gm...>]

Hi,

This also allows the user to indirectly walk through the pv by
increasing or decreasing the visualisation depth spinbox by 1 at a
time, and in turn having seq number shown only for the last few moves
in the move line that has been visualised. Thus helping easily see
which is the new move that has been shown (if increasing) or hidden
(if decreasing) from the pv.
