- the most important value MultiPV is easily changed in the engine window (and the name "Lines" is easily understood) - the engine "publishes" its parameters and I can't say all engines will have for example the MultiPV option. So building dynamically a dialog window when you are not sure what you will have to display until the engine is run is not at all easy. My bet was that only advanced users would change engine parameters (that's why I put "scary isn't it ?" in the manual). I'll try to look at that, but trust me, a dynamic window is not easy to manage. > Other functions, if they are available, may be put at another tab.
