TOPIC: feature request: arrows for move ideas

feature request: arrows for move ideas 10 years 3 months ago #162

Hi, I would like a feature that allows me to enter move ideas into my opening repertoires in a graphical manner (yes, we can already use text). If the opening were to be exported I believe the convention for annotation is to use the Δ symbol. Since CPT is already heavily reliant on arrows, then probably a dashed arrow is best, along with the ability to highlight squares. Without this option, I either have to remember to look at the text block, which I use sparingly, or have to remember why I inserted the move into the repertoire.

For a simple example, 1.f4 e5 2.fxe5 d6 3.exd6 Bxd6 (Δ 4...Qh4). Graphically perhaps, this is represented by a dashed arrow from d8 to h4, even though it is White to move.

Next release is supposed to support drawing arrows and highlighting squares. This will be done by drawing them directly on the chessboard and not entering in the comment window.
