DiagTransfer
download web site opinions problem?
Copying chess diagrams with a classic position-editor is hard work : you must have both your position-editor and your document/web page application open, and must constantly go back and forth between the two. It becomes a tennis match of sorts: Looking at the diagram you wish to copy in application ‘A’, switching over to application ‘B’ to place the piece, and going back to application ‘A’ to verify the accuracy of the layout,...etc.

With DiagTransfer you “ transfer ” the diagram – by setting the DiagTransfer window in semi-transparent mode and resizing a board on the diagram to be copied. At this point, you have only to « trace » the pieces - no need to remember piece locations!

DiagTransfer comes with a new full colour toolbar, icons are highlighted when the mouse passes over them, and the arrows buttons have a popup menu to choose the colour of the arrows or of the squares.

The "Import positions from a PGN-file" dialog allows you to import positions or entire games from PGN files (you can find thousands of PGN files on the web). This feature is very useful because you can import, with a few mouse clicks, hundreds of positions into DiagTransfer ready to edit. You save a lot of time because the program does not only import the positions, it also imports colour, castling rights, fullmove number, en passant square,half move number,comments and NAGs of each position.

You have a slider bar and buttons to navigate in the game so, while the slider has focus, you can also navigate with the the arrow keys for the start, end, one move forward and one move back positions. You can import positions either by selecting them with a click on the "Import" button or by selecting all or a portion of the game with a click on the "Import all" button. You can also import several games or positions you want at the same time.
