I *am* keen to make more text for the mask as requested and Richard's idea is a good one, but i would have to have a decent look. The tk text widget is very powerful and word wrap can normally be done using inbuilt features of the text widget. (tags, "-wrap", "-width")
Also, I will probably add an option to make the tree show less data, leaving more space for the end of line mask comments. Re contributing code - If you could send contributed code as a patch, i can test it much more easily. ScidvsPC uses subversion. Once subverison is downloaded , or "checked-out" (see this page for instructions https://sourceforge.net/p/scidvspc/code/ People can make their own changes, test them using "make install", and then use "svn diff > patch" to make a patch for others to use. cheers, S.A.
