Thank you very much for the pointers and links!

Is there anything that can be done to improve the load time for the application? For example, opening a new window with a blank board seems to take time compared to other SGF editors.

Maybe it's just my perception...?

Have you tried Sabaki since the new v0.30.1 release? That was a big performance-related change since it switched to Preact.

Thanks for mentioning this. I made a funny mistake. From when I installed v0.20.<something>, Sabaki was installed under Windows in my "Program Files (x86)" folder - maybe I installed the ia32 version by mistake. When I downloaded the update, it installed to "Program Files". So even though, I had a new version installed, the shortcut I had been using pointed to the old version.

Now that I'm using the latest version, I'd say that it's not terrible. Still a bit more lag than I'd like - maybe about 1.5 seconds to load a new window on my laptop.

Not a huge deal, I suppose... I can live with this if it means I get to have all of the nice features Sabaki supports

There's sabaki editor for android in play store is it yours or some knock off

I'm hearing of this the first time, I suspect it's a thin wrapper around the web version of Sabaki. Which, BTW, is not optimized for touch devices at all.

Just as I thought. It's bad.
Are you thinking of doing sabaki for android? I am looking for some app with the moves tree and so on. I record my tournament games on my phone and If possible review them right after and the tree would help a lot. and I freaking love how sabaki looks.

I noticed something odd about how Sabaki handles file names. If I open an sgf file, it gives the file name in the upper left. However, if I then save the file under a new name (save as), the new file name does not replace the old one in the upper left. It looks like the programs does follow the convention that "save" automatically saves to the last used file name. So, if I save file1 as file2, Sabaki will save to the name file2 when I hit "save". It looks like the screen is just not updated when the file name changes.

I can't seem to reproduce the behavior you're describing. If I open a file, say `file.sgf`, and save as `new.sgf`, then the title of the window will change to `new.sgf` as expected.

Interesting. I can reproduce it on my installation. What can I share with you to help you figure out what is going on? I could e-mail you a video of the sequence if that would be helpful. But I'd rather not post that on a public forum.

Sure, a video could be useful. You can contact me at shen.yichuan[at]gmail.com. Can you tell me what OS you're using? Also, you can try to reinstall Sabaki.

I've received your video, but I still can't reproduce this behaviour on the latest version of Sabaki. I suspect you have an outdated version. I can vaguely remember that this was an issue some versions ago...

Sorry for the delayed reply on this. It slipped my mind. I'm running V0.31.2. That is the most recent one, no?

Yes, it is... Hmm, I'm running out of ideas now. Have you already tried downloading a fresh version? Other things you could do is to remove the config folder located at `%APPDATA%\Sabaki`.

I had tried reinstalling before, but I just uninstalled the program, removed the config folder, and then reinstalled. No luck. Still doing the same thing.

However, I noticed something new. (This may have been the case before the reinstall, but I only noticed it afterwards.) If I open a file (say file1) and save it as file2, file1 is still listed in the upper left. However, in the program tab in the tool bar, it lists the name correctly as file 2, and if I minimize and then maximize the window, the file2 is then correctly shown in the upper left as well.

I don't know what you mean by "program tab" and "tool bar", but I assume you mean the Windows task bar? It seems like Windows isn't redrawing the title bar for some reason. I notice you're using the 'classic' Windows theme, maybe it's related to that? In any case, this is most likely an Electron bug.

Sorry for mixing up the terms, but yes, that is what I meant. That said, thanks for looking into it.

One suggestion for a future feature: I would find it useful if there was a way to label nodes in the move tree so that the labels were visible as part of the tree. As a specific example (simple one), one could label a node "End Review" if one were reviewing a game and had to take a break for a while. That way, when returning you could just look at the game tree and click on the node with that label rather than trying to remember that you reviewed the game up to move number X. For more complex SGF's, it also might allow the game tree to serve as a type of table of contents. Just a thought.

Thanks again for all the work you have done putting this together!

Thank you for Sabaki!

After building in Linux I have two folders with runnable Sabaki:

* /dist/linux-ia32-unpacked
* /dist/linux-unpacked

what is the difference?

The first one contains the 32-bit version, the second one the 64-bit version.
