Hi,
During Nordic Open, Ed O'Laughlin came up to us and wanted to know how
to do batch analysis of several matches. He told us that he had tried
the Atool (http://lint.de/) for this, without success. As I tried to
explain how he could do this with a command file, I realized that would
be to clumsy and hard for a end user to do this. Then Achim suggested
the batch python scrips, but we realized that that would be silly as
well, since running the script requires both Python (a special mystical
version of Python?) and PythonWin. Also to clumsy and hard for a end user.
I said: "Let's implement the feature, and forget about 'Atool' and
Python!". I rushed over to the computer in the lobby (The only computer
available with web connection), and browsed some source files. After 15
minutes of browsing I claimed this should be a simple task.
I've now committed this feature to the cvs repository, so it will be
available from the next build, Ed.
Watch out:
It's still buggy!
It's not much tested!
I've put the menu item under Analysis/Batch analysis. Should it rather
have been under 'Files'? Any opinions?
Things not tested or developed:
* What happens if fConfirm is TRUE? Will it
ask for confirmation for each match?
* What about the sound? Can we temporary set the
analysisfinished sound to None? Not really nice, though....
* What happens if someone cancels the analysis... ?
(This question is really important if we toggle a global variable)
* A progress dialog might be better than the progress bar in
the statusline.
Thanks to Ed for pushing this.
