    Hi, Lucas,
    option "Thougth of engine" appears truncated on the panel's bottom.

    Best regards,
    Stolcius

      Hi,
      It needs a greater box, and there is two options, or you can do greater the pgn panel, or when configuring add some pixels to the Box height value.
      Cheers

      I'm afraid I dont' understand: do you mean resizing the chessboard window?

      I've tried it: it doesn't work...

      The box is incapsulated into the layout frame: resizing the chessboard window doesn't affect layout frame at all.

      Best regards,
      Stolcius

    When viewing a PGN, the scroll wheel can be used to quickly go through the game. The functionality seems inverted ( ie . scrolling up moves forward in the game, and scrolling down moves backwards) - is this the intended function?

      Yes it is intended.
      When focus is on pgn-table, then info goes top-down.
      When focus is on board, then info goes down-top.
      This is one solution.

Future version 10 step 05: Scanner of positions

Some days ago Juan Carlos Antón, head of UNED chess school , does give me permission to include tactical positions from the PDFs on the downloads of UNED web, which I consider very educational. The problem is there is no possibility of obtaining  original fens. The solution to ease my work, has been to create something like an OCR of image positions, which at this specific case is working very well. Only three concepts are handled : mark, deduce, and learn. First, mark the board, the next step is to deduce, if there are errors the user corrects them manually and asked the program to learn from them. At the beginning there are quite a few errors, but less and less. To mark the Board a transparent window is launched that occupies the desk and lets see the PDF and select a position. It is selected with the mouse by dragging a corner to the other, and it is fitted with the arrow keys. At the end the Enter key is pressed to accept the selected and continue in the program wi...
