Two suggestions:

1)It would be nice if the software could allow anyone to copy to the Windows clipboard the results of the games. (It doesn't work now.)

2) I would also find it useful to be able to copy chat sessions in a way that they are tagged to the hand being played ... especially so that suggestions made by partners could be analyzed with care later on. Also, it would easily provide lasting evidence for nasty comments, and in that way perhaps have the effect of toning them down.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi

The second suggestion has some attractions, but sounds like a technical nightmare. Somehow you would need to get the chat comments interspersed with bids and card plays. And then for those of who don't want to be bothered with it, there would need to be an option to filter it all out again. Perhaps you would want the timing of BIT actions to be measured as well. Then there are undo requests and acceptance and change of bids to record. Where would it end?

I cannot really get excited about the first suggestion. There exist other ways of recording the scores. What is the benefit of another one? But if it is trivial to implement it is of no consequence to me.
