Actually I feel it is good in general, but the handling of errand moves needs improvement. E.g. I worked on the DGT Integration yesterday and as it happens if you just put some pieces on a board to see wether it reads in positions and moves correctly you make a wrong move as you just don't think about the pieces you're moving. So I found whenever I errandly move my king into check I loose the connection to the board as scid just hooks of the input stream. (I believe that this happens due to the TCL/TK interpreter error occuring there.) > It is good, as it makes scid perfect tool to verify the > PGN files correctness.

For your problem flagging them would be sufficient and probably a switch that switches off the legality check. (Isn't there such a switch already in some of the submenus?) For the aforementioned problem I believe that more work is required. But as it is completely unspecific for the DGT but very specific for any alternative input method I guess also Pascal is interested in this point. I frankly admit that I try not ot interfere to much with scids very internals but stay clean in my own namespace and module. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Universitaetsbibliothek Ilmenau Langewiesener Str. 37 98693 Ilmenau Tel.: 03677/69-4521 , Fax.: 03677/69-4617 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
