Myracle GUI

I have a question about showing arrows:
'Show thinking arrows' is for Analysis, 'Show thinking arrows (Players)' is for playing against an engine, but what is 'Show arrows for other engines' for?
I don't see any effect when checking this option, and I don't find a description of these options in the manual.

ah yes, this is if you use more than one engine for analysis, so by default it only shows arrows for the first (primary) analysis engine

Thanks, now it's clear - I've never tried more than one analysis engine.

BTW, good that Myracle supports *.bat/cmd files for engine installation - that makes it very comfortable to use the MessChess engines in my CB-Emu package, because I've included such *.bat files for Hiarcs (that uses the same method):
1) go to the folder MessChess\Hiarcs
2) run 'makeall /name' - this creates a subfolder 'Engines' with all necessary *.bat files
3) now create any subfolder in Myracle\engines (e.g. mess) and copy all *.bat files from the just created folder 'Hiarcs\Engines' into 'Myracle\engines\mess', and then you can add all MessChess engines without having to enter any engine arguments

don't push this issue Krzysztof, it's there for a reason, I will not make any further comments on this, it remains as it is

Once again, I kindly ask you to consider this request. It won’t do you any harm to do this – so that users can enable or disable these bookmarks as they see fit.

Krzysztof is bored and is asking for another week of ban.

It's okay, I'll take the risk, it's very important for me and not only for me.

that's cool, I don't recall doing anything special, just calling CreateProcessW - it seems that modern win versions support batch/cmd files out of the box?

MessChess is pretty cool, I had great fun playing against one of the engines, good to know it's easy to setup
now without having to input commandline arguments

Moderation: One month ban for Krzysztof - as final warning before permanent ban.
