GOswf: EDIT mode

EDIT mode new feature:

edit

The EDIT new button !!

EDIT mode features:

  • play new moves and explore variations in an existing game
  • put markups (Squares, Triangles, Circles, Cross marks, labels ABC...)
  • delete a move
  • export SGF data
  • set annotation ("good for white", "even position", etc..)
  • caution: the EDIT is designed for editing an existing game, but the source file is not modified: you have to export the modified SGF data in a file on your computer. Then you can submit this new modified SGF file on the forum or website.

Beta-test:

  • You can test this new version on your website simply by replacing the goswf.swf file.
  • You can also test it locally on your computer using the window application below.
  • Please send your suggestions/critics/bug reports to olive[at]gludion.com (please replace [at] with @)
  • Please try editing SGF file(s), save the new data, and reload it in a SGF viewer.
  • Once this new version is bug-free, it will be released publicly as a version 2.0.

Thank you very much ! f

Pretty similar regarding EDIT mode, but given here as a reminder.

Bonus: Windows application

You can also use GOSWF as a Windows application (download it here). It's an utility program I personnally use as a study tool, and it may be convenient for quickly and easily testing multiple SGF files from your game collections.

How to use it:

  • just drag & drop SGF files on the program icon, or inside the application window.
  • goswf.exe and goswf.swf files must be in the same directory.
  • Sorry, I've no Mac or Linux EXE wrapper..s

Feedbacks

  • suggestion: find some way to tell clearly that the original file is not altered. Any potential "download SGF" link in the HTML will only download the original file and not the modified file.
  • suggestion: add server-dependant "save on server" optional URL
  • suggestion: open "save as" dialog instead of copy/paste (March 25)
  • add keyboard shortcuts for EDIT menu items (SPACE=play, t=triangles, s=square, c=circles, l=labels) (March 27)
  • add multi-language
