My gift to the community – a much better cutechessGUI

[Ajaja]

After stopping and resuming a tournament, it stops swapping sides. I noticed that swapSides is set to 0 in the *.trnmt file after the tournament is resumed. After changing "swapSides": 1 to "swapSides": true in the *.trnmt file, the issue was fixed. It looks like there is something wrong with how this parameter is read from the *.trnmt file.

Was already fixed in the latest github actions artifact.

Hello,

First of all thanks for your initiative. Really appreciated!

I have found two minor glitches so far :

1) Setting time control in Tools>Setting>Games>Time Control, the minutes and seconds fields are not easy to change entering new values with the keyboard, if you enter a new number it is appended to the old one instead of replacing it

2) Only first move of PV is shown for Winboard engines (I tested EveAnn, Myrddin, Dirty)

Using Windows 11

1) no change here by Patrick

2) this was my wish. I dont need the movelist window on the screen. This modification makes sure, I know, which movenumber is on. Movenumbers after each move, would take to much space in the PV-lines, IMHO.

Sorry, I didnt explain myself well, I meant that Principal Variation is shortened to 1st move only for Winboard engines , a screenshot follow, white is Winboard and Black is UCI :

Stefan i have a request. My program expects a line from the gui with windows style line break (CR/LF) (line input in Powerbasic). I think that your GUI sends Linux style line breaks (LF only). Is it possible to add a (command line) switch to let the GUI send windows style line breaks? That would be great!

Patrick does the work, not me. I will send this to him on discord.

Thanks!

B.t.w. it's about the uci lines.

Stefan i managed to make a Linux style line input so it is working now. So i don't need the option anymore but maybe others do.

Very nice update to the cutechess interface i must say. Thanks for that.
