Customize number of moves per printed diagram
- Who
- DaveSigaty
- Description
- An option to choose the number of moves shown in each diagram to be printed. Consider a game of exactly 200 moves with the default setting to print one diagram for every 50 moves. I imagine Drago creating a list of 4 diagrams: diagram 1 - 1-50, diagram 2 - 51-100, etc. I imagine clicking on diagram 1 in the list and changing the 50 to 16. Now Drago updates the list to 5 diagrams: diagram 1 - 1-16, diagram 2 - 17-66, ... diagram 5 - 166-200. I click on diagram 2 and change the 66 to 43. Drago again updates the list to 6 diagrams: diagram 1 - 1-16, diagram 2 - 17-43, diagram 3 - 44-93,..., diagram 5 - 144-193, diagram 6 - 193-200. I now click on diagram 5 and change the 194 to 200, eliminating the small diagram 6.

"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, Myshkin
- 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

- 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 here

"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.

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).

Navigate only the moves in a selected area of the board
- Who
- a fan
- Description
- select a rectangular area of the board. Then the navigation works only for the moves in that area, and jumps over the moves outside the area (the stones outside the selected area are displayed). It's useful for replaying pro games, as they like to play tenuki.

Enhanced Score Estimator display
- Who
- SpongeBob?, Inego
- Description
- The current Score Estimator from the game engine only gives a result like W+30. However, often the status of groups is miscalculated. As there is no way to tell if that happend, a result like W+30 is almost useless. It would be nice to get a graphical display on how the result was calculated, i.e. which stones were calculated as being dead or alive. Hope the game engine provides a way to get this information.
- Status
Allow empty MDI frame (with no open tabs)
- Who
- BruceTheHoon?
- Description
- This is more of a nuisance: when Drago starts up, it should not auto-open a tab, because it cannot possibly have the faintest idea what do I intend to do - what board size, what kind of opponent etc.. The default creation of a new tab when I close the last one is likewise nothing but a nuisance, because e.g. it keeps opening tabs with without a GnuGo opponent tied to it even if I keep playing GnuGo and closing the tab at the end.

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

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.

Do database search based on position selected on board
- Who
- Myshkin
- Description
- Instead of using the Pattern Search/Capture in the DB Search window, allow for the selection of areas on the current board and search for the pattern contained in those selected areas.
--Gilles: Actually, when the search window is opened, it is possible to select a pattern either in the main board or in the thumbnail board. Am I missing something in your request?
