  • To add a suggestion, please copy and paste a section below.
  • Feel free to add your name if you think one of the suggestions is interesting.
  • Feel free to complete description.

Anyway, this is wiki.

"Flatten" command

Who
okvonnegut
Description
I know I can export a .sgf of the current position but I'd like a way to make the current position the start position. That is, flatten a number of moves into a single node. To do it now I have to export position to sgf and then load that sgf anew... But then I would still lose subsequent moves.
Status
Requested

An command to clear all markup

Who
okvonnegut
Description
A way to clear all markup from the board in one go. Useful when editing problems or with files that have the move numbers hardcoded into them as labels. Possibly also a "clear all markup from the entire file" to save me from having to do it on every move.
Status
Requested

More key bindings

Who
okvonnegut
Description
For example the ability to set key bindings for the various annotations under "insert ..." with a single key combo. Or a key binding to insert a specific comment. This would also make it easier and faster to input problems from other sources such as pamphlets or books.
Status
Requested

Square size selecteable

Who
Pimenta
Description
Larger squares marking territory and prisioners in the end of the game make it easier to perceive the amount of territory each player had. Could this square size be user-defineable?
Status
Requested

Who
Pimenta, okvonnegut
Description
Result should be displayed when you reach the last move of the game file (display result .sgf property?)
Status
Requested

Hideable and moveable right column

Who
Pimenta,tweed
Description
The pane in the right hand side (tree, variations, clock, etc.) could hide when a small triangle in the separator between this column and the board would be clicked. Moving the panel to the left is requested [ext] here
Status
Requested

GNU Go commands available in a specific toolbar

Pimenta

GNU Go commands (pass, resign, etc.) should be available in a toolbar, either that you could turn on/off, or that would automatically be turned on when a game against GNU Go would start.

"Minimize" board for printing diagrams.

Who
Malweth, okvonnegut
Description
When printing diagrams (especially tsumego) the whole board is printed. Most of the board is empty. It would be nice if you could specify how small to shrink the printed section of the board, based on where the stones are placed. You could specify having 1-19 blank lines around the stones (19 default, prints whole board). This would improve printing tsumego and allow more problems per page.
Status
Requested

Stone bitmaps in text when exporting

Who
DG
Description
Export games with adding bitmaps in the comments for move references and marks (like SL B1 instead of B1)
Status
Requested

Status
Requested

Remember new game creation in new file or current file

Who
Michal
Description
When a new game is created, there is the option to create it in a new file, or in the current file. Drago could remember the option which was chosen last. (so when creating a file of tsumego problems, one has to click one time less for each tsumego :]) (version 2.12).

Closed requests


Extended stone setup mode

Who
Evgeny
Description
MFGo like (clicks give the following sequence: setup stone -> swap color -> remove stone) or MultiGo like (left and right clicks).
Status
Available in 2.20

TimK: If it's not too late for input, I prefer MultiGo style - you don't have to go back to the toolbar to switch colors.

Gilles: Both are implemented, first one being optional.


Tooltips for buttons in second toolbar

Who
Michal
Description
When the cursor is held over a button, after a short time a box appears with the button's function. However, this does not happen with the second toolbar, the one with move navigation, undo, cut, game, color, markup, insert, and new game (version 2.12).
Status
Fixed in 2.20

Navigate to specific move

Who
TimK
Description
I guess this requires the previous request to be added, but it would be nice to be able to go back to the point where an earlier stone was played by clicking on it.
Comment
will be done by ctrl-click, I hope is ok.
Status
Available in 2.20

TimK: Sounds great.

Get rid of popup dialog

Who
TimK, olesch, Pimenta
Description
When I accidentally try to play a stone on top of another stone, Drago gives a popup error message. It's annoying to have to click okay on it, and then go back to what I was doing. A beep would probably be enough to tell the user he made a mistake.
Status
Available in 2.20

Read only mode

Who
wildclaw
Description
It would be nice to have a toggle that disables editing of a game. That way it would be possible to move through variation, without accidently adding your own path. It should preferably be specific for each tab.

Selection of size of the stones in the export position dialog

Who

Alternative Ghost Stones displaying: as simple circles (with board texture filling)

Who
olesch
Description
currently ghost stones look bad combined with letter markup because letters have clear background, unlike

ghost stones.
