There really is little point to it at the moment. However, I would ask why this rollout can't be saved. It is that it can't be fitted into the sgf structure, which is designed for matches? I was rolling out a few reference positions yesterday, and the only way to do it was to set up a prior position and roll, move to the desired position and roll out the single play. (It was DMP, so there was no place to analyse static position as a cube action - and even this would roll out both double and no double).
A few secondary issues, if you are tweaking the menus: 1) Note that there is inconsistent spelling of "analyse/analyse". (The "s" is more prevalent, and I have a slight preference for it.) 2) Why is "Cmark" called "Cmark" and not simply "Mark"? What information does the "C" convey? 3) Analyze/Rollout/Game and ) Analyze/Rollout/Match don't roll out the whole game game or match, they only roll out the Cmarked moves, I believe. Would the menu option be clearer if it read "Rollout Marked"?

Hi All, Some may know why I am asking this, but I want to see if there is some reason that escapes me as to why we have it. On the GNUBG menu under Analyse we have (in the first section) Evaluate/HInt/Rollout Is there any reason we need "Rollout"? As many know this option throws up a message box stating that the rollout can't be extended, and can't be saved etc (It does a centered cube rollout). How useful is this option? It seems more confusing than anything else since we also have Analyse/Rollout/Cube and Analyse/Rollout/Move etc and the "Rollout" button inside of "Hint". I'd like to remove the menu item "Analyse/Rollout" altogether. Does anyone have a good reason why we should keep it? -- Michael Petch CApp::Sysware Consulting Ltd.
