The score tag does include the ply depth (it is of the format
<depth>:<score>).
The annotator tag, which is added to the game's extra tags, includes the
thinking time (it is of the format
<engine name>(<thinking time in seconds>)).

I do very much agree (and called this "verbose crap") ;-)
Certainly the blunder annotation should be seen as a filter, in that it
only annotates the particular moments in the game. How "particular,"
depends on the threshold setting by the user (but also on the scoring
policy of the engine in use, some are more pathetic than others).
My preference would be to remove the blunder remark from the
implementation entirely.
And this would mean that the various annotation modes would come very
very close (as should be; let's get rid of useless options and make both
the implementation and the usability straightforward).
Maybe simply make a single mode: When the threshold is zero, all moves
are annotated, when different from zero, we have /some/ filter.
Note that the difference between all-moves and not-best-move is close to
void in practice (roughly 1 centipawn), due to the improvement that if
the best move happens to be also the game move, it is no longer added as
a variation.
Could we meet in the middle and keep both a checkmark "Apply threshold"
and of course the threshold input field itself (and get rid of the rest)?

Alexander can you arrange this? I do not feel very comfortable in the
UI arena.
