Diagram generator...

Hi I have two suggestions that I think would be quite good to implement.

I'll start with the most simple first:  when creating a puzzle/diagram etc have the "show cordinates" box selected by default.  Why? because I'm sure many (including myself) find it hard to follow analysis without the co-ordinates, and i'm sure many people dont put the co-ordinates on diagrams not because they hate them but because they forget/are lazy/dont know how.

 

2) When creating diagrams/puzzles/ etc Have a "export as PGN" button. (you already have an import feature running smoothly, so i dont think that this would be too difficualt. That said, i'm not a programmer)

The reason being is that last night I was doing some in depth analysis on a friends game, but when I tried to insert the diagram to a PM something messed up somewhere and the message never got sent and my analysis was totally lost.

An 'Export pgn' button would have allowed me to create a backup of my work. Which, in this particular case would have been useful.

I spent about a hour, so server reset might have been a cause.

Usually it not a problem because I'll do the work in fritz 8 and then copy the whole file...this time I didnt do that and I bit me in the arse. 

But, if there is a save function and a you can copy the whole thing (which I didnt realise) perhaps this entire thread is a bit of a non-issue.

oh well, at least I know for next time.
