Go up one level in this thread


Here's an itemized list of the main part of your post:

I want:

* lightning fast search possibilities

* excellent double game-detection

* extended database possibilities

* manual sorting of databases, but also combining sort keys already available,
and defining my _own_ hierarchy

* better and faster export possibilities to PGN for portability

* easy drag-and-drop ability from the search result window into the notation
window with the _original_ game

* all statistics in all search result windows available

* more flexible statistics output, everything available for print or html

* more flexible print possibility for repertoire output, including trimming
before printing, and html output

* better handling of repertoire search, like asking me if I want to truncate
games I import after move x, or like asking me in which repertoire game I want
it to save instead of a choice between "either in this game, or else in another
game, otherwise you can stuff it"

* faster tree building from bigger databases - as databases become bigger and
bigger these days -  I want an easier interface with theme key building.

* refinement of ECO codes

* to use more easy multiple database searches right from the board position
instead of selecting multiple databases first, then opening the search filter,
then copying the board until I forgot what I was doing because of the long
procedure

* to manually sort my databases in the database window

* a manual with EVERYTHING in it, even if over 500 pages long, not that I
stumble upon features I can't figure out what they're there for, just to find
out that they're neither in the booklet nor in the online help files
