Hi Pascal, Just a general suggestion: There is no need to take a defensive position here. I really want to help making scid a better thing than it is, and I simply report what I do not understand or like.
That's all. More info below. Cheers, Joost.

Yes, you can, but if I start annotating a game somewhere in the end game, this is simply a silly remark. It is not caused by the size of the book, but by the fact that scid simply assumes that we are in-book at the moment the analysis starts. Wherever in the game that may be. One could argue that if the user does not start annotation from game start, he should disable "use book". Indeed, one could. I prefer to see the out-of-book remark only after I have been in-book somehow before that time, that is, when I leave book. > > > Less relevant is > that there is no [space] between this string and the <played-move>. > > > I don't see that. I do. I guess you did not replay my use case. Under normal circumstances the out-of-book string is followed by some book alternative or even a nifty engine variation. The code for the latter two is responsible for adding the [space]. In this case, the book alternative is not there (of course not, we were never in-book anyway) and a variation is not available if the move played is the one that is prefered by the engine. Hence: <Out of book><move> > > Pascal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
