Hi,
I follow and explore chess very very infrequently, like once in a few
years, usually when maybe a chess championship is going on or hear
something about a new chess engine or I am experimenting something or
so.
So also I am not good at visualizing text chess move lines/variations
without having visual hint like coordinates on a chess board.
Given that currently ScidVsPC doesnt have an option for the same wrt
analysis board, have created this patch (03- patch file name) to
enable the same. If the user enables coordinates on all sides wrt the
main board (ie boardCoords value 2), then this logic will enable
coordinates on the analysis board.
Inturn when working on this, noticed that the board::flip logic wasn't
setting the vertical (1-8) coordinate values correctly for the
analysis board always, it seemed to have a race based on when the
board gets enabled and when the user toggles board coords. So have
created a additional patch (04- patch file name) which sets the labels
based purely on flip variable. NOTE: Not able to reproduce this
currently, dont remember the sequence of enabling different options
and boards, but did notice it few times initially, when I was working
with only 03- patch file. Also this 04- patch file makes the logic
directly depend on flip variable rather than any value that may be
already there wrt the labels. So feel this may be a better logic.
NOTE: I had created & inturn maintain scidvspc-hkvc snap package, to
run scidvspc on linux distros with snap package system support, which
again I update once in a bluemoon. These patches are included in the
version which I have released there. I have added the suffix -hkvc to
ensure that in future if the scidvspc team wants to release their own
snap package, there is no confusion. These patches can be
tested/verified by running the scidvspc-hkvc snap package, if needed.
