Subject: Send diagram pictures in Chess Forums posts with two mouse clicks
|
To Post diagrams in Chess Forum is an hard work, sometime these forums allow
you to create a position with a Fen position but most of time you must
provide the URL adress of a picture stored in your web site.
For this you must use a lot of software :
A chess program or pgn reader to create the position
A paint program to modify your picture
A FTP program to upload your picture
At end you must type the url adress of your picture.
With the last version of DiagTransfer, (a freeware program)use two or three
mouse clicks to do this without another program !
It takes only a few seconds for the diagram that is displayed in
DiagTransfer windows 'll be seen in your post.
You can post diagrams with the size,colours, diagram font, with or without
coodinates,transparent background,you want, you can add coloured squares and
arrows.
These pictures are saved in � png � format (between 2 and 10 ko size)

Except that attachments are frowned upon here so you'd still have to use
DiagTransfer to create the picture, an FTP program to upload it and then
quote the URL... Much easier to just give the FEN which your chess
program will read and write.
DiagTransfer sounds like a useful piece of software but not for posting
here.

OK, cool. Does it also support SFTP and/or SCP?

I thought you were using `chess forum' as an ordinary noun meaning
`anywhere people talk about chess' rather than meaning a specific place.
