The tree window needs three features: 1) The user should be able to use the keyboard to progress through the tree. Having to mouse click on a move is very slow and not good for the hand joints.
2) The user should be able to sort tree moves manually as they like. This is important for competitive players for the following reason: when constructing a book (e.g. repertoire), a player often wants to choose a certain move to be listed first. This allows a player to move through his repertoire quickly, or remind him what he thinks is the best move. Currently, the four methods used to sort book moves do not allow the guarantee that a move can be moved to the top. The easiest way (from the user perspective) would be to scroll over to a highlighted move, then hit the alt-"up arrow" key. 3) Another great feature would be the ability to simply delete a move from the book display. This is useful for eliminating, for example, the move 1.h3 from the initial position. 4) As a corollary to #3, it would be fabulous if the user had the choice between deleting a move from the tree display and/or deleting the position itself from the book. However, I would be elated with #3 alone. That (ability to simply delete a move from the book display) is a feature that is so basic and useful, yet is absent from commercial databases (except from Bookup, I believe). I am very happy to see that SCID is maintained again! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
