Hi!

Could it be that the "Add variation" button in the engine
analysis is currently "broken"? It should add the current
best line as a variation to the game score. However, this
works if and only if I'm not on the last half move.
Shouldn't "add variation" also be able to add the best
continuation?

I think it (c/sh)ould be done like I do my annotations in
CC. On the last half move of my opponent I hit Ctrl-A to add
a variation. Scid goes half a move back and I redo my
opponents move and add my continuations afterwards. Looks
like this:

  18.Nxc3 Rad8
  ( 18...Rad8 19.Qd6 )

Additionally, in case of engines that are capable of
multi-pv analysis (Shredder, Fruit, Toga...), it might be
worth to consider to add all currently displayed n mainlines
as individual variations with their proper scores. If the
user wishes to add only one he could easily reduce the
number of vars to one.

BTW: at this occasion I found that the engine analysis
window for the xboard engine like crafty is still the old
one. Shouldn't they also get the smaller new layout? (Just
for consistency.)
