Re: Banksia GUI 0.56

Thank you for the report!

I have been struggling to reproduce the issue. Can you tell me more info:
- What your OS
- How did you install the engine? By dragging-dropping it into BSG or via the Settings dialog box?
- Right after installing the engine, did you see it in the Settings dialog box?

Thanks

No at the moment. BSG uses a complicated code/data for clocks since it supports multi-timers, not easy to change. You may: - edit manually the JSON file (banksiaplaying.json).

Re: Time control error. Timeleft. Version 0.54 beta

wtime is the total time the white side can use to compute a move. If an engine uses more time than that value, it will lose by time.

winc is the amount of adding time that will be added to the time left AFTER making that move.

I think engines typically consider only wtime/btime and ignore winc/binc.

"Games per pair" is just a record, using when generating only, not affect to the current number of generated games.

I think the easiest way is to generate a new and similar tournament then merge it to the current one to have double games.
