Yes that's fine. I don't need auto-display, but maybe someone else would want that. If I can click in the menu to get it, that's good enough for me.
My use case is this: I extract initial fen from endgame books. Many endgame books in one epd file, sorted by material balance, with custom opcodes. Then I hold down Alt-Shift-Right until the (approximate) endgame of interest appears. At this point I want to know the source and the author evaluation. Right now I have to look at the index in the xboard title bar and then open the epd in a text editor and goto the line number. Anything that saves me having to open the epd in another application would be a big help. -- Alan > On Dec 8, 2016, at 3:11 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > Would it be an idea to group this with the option Auto-diplay Tags?
