The "bulk import of positions from a directory into the position database - better support for sgf-files, especially files containing only a single position" refers to something I think several of us have wanted - the ability to conveniently review saved positions. Currently it only works for GNUBG but if we show some interest I imagine saved XG positions could be handled the same way (although I don't think BGBlitz yet supports that format).
For each directory of saved positions, a type of quiz is created. You can add leading and trailing remarks for it and all comment entries made when you saved the positions are retained. The analysis is replaced by that of BGBlitz, so you can see a second opinion. As you page through it, each position is presented and you press a button to see the analysis and comments (if any). You can add/modify comments and provide deeper analysis if you want.
I think this is a great feature that we should encourage Frank to build on. It's fine as it is but hasn't been thoroughly updated in a while so could use a couple tweaks to modernize it. As we've already seen here, his graphics are world class so anyone who likes to review saved positions should make their feelings known. If implemented for XG it would be a great way to review the collections of positions that Stick has produced for purchase.
And naturally it's fun to play on those exotic boards, especially the latest designs by Debbie Curtis. Frank provides several but more can either be created or purchased using the link that was recently posted here and can be found under "Themes" on the BGBlitz home page.
