  2. Two feature requests:
    1) Make it so that when you are entering game information, hitting TAB will advance you to the next field for entry - this will speed this dialog up a ton with this simple fix.
    2) I'd like to see an alternate format for the comments. If the comment for the next move could be shown alone or if the comment/notation text size could be adjusted so its readable from a distance and other comments are hidden, then this program can become a better tool for teaching (which is what I use it for among other things). Students can see the move comment without seeing the comming moves forcing them to think about the position before seeing the answer.

  3. Mate - I have un-installed this software. I have also sent you the error file for the stack & array out of bounds errors. I am a little annoyed as I have built 3 games databases with chess pad 2 & now I can't access any of them.

    What seems to happen is that if you leave chess pad open for long periods of time, it repeatedly saves the current game to the list - especially when my laptop hibernates & I start it up again - otherwise the software is great. I can't afford wondering every time I open a db whether it is going to "be there or not"

    Cheers
    Jonathan.
