This plugin can load all modern SGF files (file format 3 or 4) with few problems. It
attempts to preserve SGF properties which it doesn’t understand, and most common
SGF properties are handled fully. It is possible to view (and edit if you like) Kogo’s Joseki
Dictionary (
http://waterfire.us/joseki.htm
) with this plugin, although the load and save
times can be on the order of a minute or two on particularly slow devices. Large SGF
files may stop audio playback for the duration of the plugin’s run in order to free up
more memory and some very large SGF files will not even load on devices with little
available memory.
Note:
The plugin does
NOT
support SGF files with multiple games in one file. These
are rare, but if you have one don’t even try it (the file will most likely be corrupted if
you save over it). You have been warned.
The file
"/sgf/gbn def.sgf"
is used by the plugin to store any unsaved changes in
the most recently loaded game. This means that if you forget to save your changes,
you should load
"/sgf/gbn def.sgf"
immediately to offload the changes to another
file. If you load another file first then your changes will be lost permanently. The
"/sgf/gbn def.sgf"
file is also the file loaded if another is not selected.
The information panel which displays the current move number may also contain these
markers:
