I think it would be great to be able to save notebook changes when it's your move without having to make a move. Is it possible to add the save notebook changes button here as well??

Keeping notes on a bit of paper works, but wastes trees...

There's always Microsoft Word, or NotePad, or whatever incarnation of a writing program to use as well. ^^;

Russ,it's a couple of years that this useful feature is requested,I don't think it would require much time to implement it.....😏

Originally posted by AikoI have trashed most of the animated board code I previewed back in the springtime, and have been a little less ambitious with the changes, adding what I believe people want rather than something I was pleased with technically! (Who wants fully animated boards anyway&hellip😉
Warm us up; tell us already what is in the package...!
Below is the list of the visible key features, although a lot of stuff changed to support future projects, which is not obvious to the user. Anyway, anything mentioned here should make it into the final code, but I reserve the right to pull them for any reason.
Main board :
Flipping the board at anytime.
Animations for castling and en-passant before the move is submitted.
Analysis/history board :
Double click any piece to pop a menu. Colour and piece type can be changed, or the piece removed altogether.
Experimental lines can be 'rewound' - much like an undo. This includes changes made from the above menu.
The 'board painter' for the set piece games will be replaced by the same system.
Oh, and you will be able to resign games at anytime and save notes when it is your move. 😛
