'Minimize to tray' feature during an Automatic analysis of the EPD files set is broken! :evil:
Every time when I restore Arena window from a tray I always get a new initial position analysed by engine instead of analysing the next one in the list.
I think you understand what I described here :roll:

Good Luck and Merry Christmas!

PS Shredder Classic is still unexpendable GUI to analyse EPD files...

Hi,

Sure... if you noticed this before and you would have sent it to US it might have been fixed already. And still you didn't, don't and will not pay for Arena.

Now let's see if we would charge as much as Shredder does...
