The developement continues. Here are the extensions that become available with the next release.

1. Multiple tracked pieces in the tooltip

The PGN file browser has an useful tooltip showing positions of the game in advance. For the last release I added an menu item in the Properties menu for tracking a single piece, say the white king. If set, then the path of the white king is shown in the tooltip position for the whole game. NowI have extended the possibilities: It is possible to track several piece types, say white and black knights. Individual piece tracking like in the game browser is not possible, as the settings obviously apply to all games in the file.

2. Rotate with the EightDirectionsButton

The Setalyser has the rather obvious EightDirectionsButton, which allows you to move all or a selected part of the pieces in one of eight directions. Now you can also rotate the pieces with this button. Press in the center of the button and all or the selected pieces will be rotated by 90 degrees clockwise.

3. Flip about the main diagonals

The setalyser offers two new modifications of the position: You can now mirror all or only a selected part of the pieces on the diagonal a1-h8 or the diagonal a8-h1, resp. (Please see the Setalyser's new layout below.)

4. Swapping Black/White or Left/Right in the PGN file browser

Last year the game browser got the option of swapping the current game (if this is possible). New the PGN file browser can swap all games for which this is possible at once. You will find this option in the "File" menu. The swapped games have to saved in a PGN file afterwards.

5. Save fragments in the Game Browser

In order to expand the support for fragments, a menu item "Save fragment" has now been added to the game menu of the game browser. This option saves the fragment starting with the current position as an independent game in a PGN file to be selected.

6. GBR code support

GBR codes are widely used in endgame studies. That's why I have now integrated GBR codes into chesspresso and will gradually support them in all relevant places in the Chess Suite. The first step was to integrate a GBR search in the search menu of the PGN file browser.

7. The Setalyser stores and offers recently used positions

When the Setalyser  is switched to game mode, then the start position is stored in a FEN cache. Thereafter, positions from this cache can be selected in the setup mode from the new "Recent positions" combo box. The positions corresponding to the FENs offered in this combo box are shown on a smaller board while you select.

Here is a picture of the Setalyser's new layout.
