Is ChessGUI really bug-free ?

A ChessGUI user is having weird problems with current ChessGUI.
When he re-starts ChessGUI, all his installed engines disappear (even in engine installation window).
Has any other user ever experienced anything similar with any ChessGUI version ?

No such issue with version 0.196 here. Just would like a couple features...for one, material exchange. Thanks!!

BTW, the problem may have started when he updated ChessGUI.exe to this version

http://www.hugedrive.com/published/WG/s ... =-28c7b463

that permits more Hash than 1024 MB.

At least your clock has been implemented, though I don't see it on the image you have posted.

Is anybody courageous enough to download (again) and test the ChessGUI 0.196 now at my website, together with this ChessGUI.exe ?

If you have enough memory, can you try 2048 MB Hash to see whether engines will disappear after a game and GUI re-start ?
If you don't have that much memory, test with whatever Hash you can.

Save your old ChsGUI_Eng.TXT and ChsGUI_Cfg.ini somewhere safe before experimenting.

If anybody makes the test, please tell us whatever outcome you get.

Thanks,
Matthias.

Thanks for the clock feature! Dont know if this is the same one that was downloaded about 2 hours ago since the version number did not change.

I uploaded it yesterday and have not updated again since then.

Ok, tested and no engine disappearing acts witnessed. Backed ChessGUI directory and used a copy -- ran and quit a game, installed a couple more engines, reloaded it and all seems fine.

Thanks. Now I really feel like I'm chasing a phantom.

The problem occurs on a Win7 box. No problem on a WinXP box.
