Re: [Bug-gnubg] New feature - Batch analysis!

[Christian Anthon]

Hi Øystein,

yes we have needed this feature for a long time, but Jon's
implementation of auto recognition of the file format has made it a
lot easier.

My opinion is  that the menus need an overhaul. Perhaps unifying the
menu and the toolbar through gtkuimanager?

That's a minor issue I think. Disabling it and just playing it in the
end sounds like a good idea.

A much more important point. Ideally, canceling the whole batch and
just skipping ahead to the next match should both be possible.

I think so yes.

A few other points. Does the batch analysis overwrite the original
file and how easy is it to make a new analysis of the same match?
Should the resulting files be placed in a separate folder? Can we find
a good way to implement batch rollouts as well?
