2. Added getting the board status from other program's window or image in Clipboard
Sometimes, you may want to get the board status in other program window to do score estimating or analyze life-and-death problem in it. XuanXuanGo now possesses such ability. In order to demonstrate the function, I prepared a picture in which a life-and-death problem (black to play first) is embedded, as following, when you see the entire problem in web browser, switch to XuanXuanGo, press Ctrl ken then click on XuanXuanGo's board area and drag the mouse cursor upon the web browser and release, the problem will be imported into XuanXuanGo instantly. If you are using the version that can solve life-and-death problem, just press the "Solve" button to get the solution of the problem, the total time costs less than 1 second!

New features or improvements in XuanXuanGo 4.0

3. Improved the game tab area.

System improvements:

2. Added "Open Containing Folder" for game files.
3. When double-click game files in a Windows folder, instead of firing up a new instance of the program, the running instance will open the files.
4. For life-and-death editing, 'Pass' moves are used as wildcard moves for unexpected move. In the old version, only one move after 'Pass' move will be used to response, while in new version, the program will use unlimited number of moves after 'Pass' move to response.
5. Removed bugs found.
Game reading and editing enhancements:
1. Added 2 move properties:
a. Hide previous move numbers with exception. Let's assume that you are at move 30, if you set "Hide previous move" for it in the Move Properties dialog, move number 1 - 29 will not be shown; if you set the hiding exception as 2, only move number 1 - 27 will be hidden. Hiding previous move number will enhance the game's readability.
b. Show coordination for a certain move. When we navigate to the move, the game coordination will be shown, no matter if "Show Coordination" global option is opened or not.
2. Added 3 global options
a. Show Move Number for newly opened game files.
b. Show Coordination for newly opened game files.
