I've noticed that there are lot requests for new feautires. I'm also open source programmer and from my experience I know that very low donations arrive for using programs. I have ~dozen projects on sourceforge and till now not received any (zero) donations. Steve, what do you think about this idea. Right from engines (last button) put another button which will redirect to some web site, where donators will be updated. (This idea comes from Linux Mint http://www.linuxmint.com/donors.php ) Josifoski |

Ok - the GUI design about handling multiple boards/analaysis engines is very complicated, but i have found a nice elegant hack to improve this. The mini chess boards in Chess Engine window (shown via the grid button) will now display the locked position when you lock analysis. This will also help in returning to this position when adding the analysis. > 1. pagedown/up to move for next game, etc. I think we'll stick with the current bindings (Control+Up/Down) > 2. if the game list is open in one dock and the user is at that moment looking at a game, is there a way to jump to the game list? In docked mode, keybindings rely heavily on the mouse placement, so users have to get used to this i think.

I am not experienced with using Scid searches. I'll leave explaining them, and improving the features, to someone else :) Aleksandar Josifoski wrote: > I'm also open source programmer and from my experience I know that very low donations arrive for using programs. > I have ~dozen projects on sourceforge and till now not received any (zero) donations. ... > Right from engines (last button) put another button which will redirect to some web site, where donators will be updated. Thank-yo Alex. There is already a facility to donate at the project page. And GPL-ed software like Scid is free :) Tcl/Tk also has a very generous BSD-like license, http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/license.html cheers, Steve |

I know that this looks difficult but... To make scidvspc Nr.1 program on this planet 1) Premove option must be fully included, (even like on babas with multiple moves<-), (even with playing with engines). Some of us plays for fun (me for example) and don't take chess very seriously. I assume that 90%+ chess players are like me. 1+) will hide for now, in future will tell you... 2) when playing on fics to disable any engine contact (only when playing, not observing) 1) is Highly important 1+) secret 2) not so, in fact not important Also till now discovered two engines with scalable rating, ufim8.02 (700-2000) and danasahz (500-2500). Both can be included in wb and uci mod.
