SGF Organising Utilities
As a result of a discussion on rec.games.go kicked off by Michael Lowe? I wrote a quick perl program, and thought it would be a good idea to collect SGF Utilities here on Sensei's Library.

SGF to SGF
Filters that remove information
CommentFilter by Chris Goldsmith
To start the ball rolling here is the quick program I wrote to filter comments (chatter) out of SGF files, it currently is focussed at files downloaded off of KGS, but can easily be adapted to handle other go servers.
removeTag
Here is another perl program, this one removes any sgf properties you don't want, and empty comment nodes too.
KibitzCleaner by Blubb Fallo
This is a very small Python script similar to CommentFilter, but also capable of filtering based on players' ranks.
SGFC - Removing Comments and more
Dieter: Has someone written a tool which extracts comments from sgf-files into text-files ? As the editor of the Belgian magazine, this would considerably reduce the workload of converting contributed commented games to articles in Gowrite.
(Sebastian:) Yes, our very own Arno has written a tool that does this and much more: SGFC - all you need to do is check the "delete property" box and enter "C" for "comment" in the text box like this:
LauriPaatero: in GOWrite 2 (2.1.x) you can export game in graphics and HTML. Result is HTML file with comments and links to graphics (EPS or PNG).

SGFtoKifu
SGFtoKifu is a program for generating images containing kifu diagrams from SGF files. It is especially useful if you want to print a game you have in this format to review in a real board.
