Workflow, Diagrams and Variations
Posted: Sat Nov 02, 2013 6:12 pm
Hello.
first of all, I would like to say thanks to the author of this marvellous program.
I am not sure, if the behavior I am experiencing is bug, or it's just me making something wrong way.
I was inspired with Article in Forum regarding workflow at EGC 2010. unfortunately I was not able to reproduce these steps in order to get some good diagrams.
what I am aiming for is to annotate a game similar to: http://gowrite.net/bulletin/bulletin5_web.pdf where there is one main game line and then few variations diverting from this main game line.
I can get one of two following things, but not both of them. I either can game with variations, where I have main variation marked with A and then succesive variations marked with B,C,D as in the pdf, but I have no diagrams. as soon as I add a diagram to the edited sgf file... letters marking main line and deviations disappear. Menu option Show Variations labels IS checked on.
usually when loading a sgf file full of variations, I understood it was good to use the wizard to prepare the diagrams. I thought this process would be automatical.
What I also kind of miss, is follow up in sense, where I have a particular variation, I do not see automatically, where it started. in example from the mentioned PDF file, I would expect to see where a particular variation started. For Variation 6 from PDF it is not even possible to say, where it started, which move from parent variation / main line was the last, and where the variation starts.
I attached simple file, extension txt should be changed to sgf then.
so is it a bug of software? or am I making something wrong?
Thank you very much in advance for answer.
