Description Richard Hartmann 2008-08-07 16:53:16 UTC 
Version:           0.5 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.26-1-686

As an addition to #168622, I am filing this as a separate issue as this would be a major implementation, I fear.

Basically, you could encode the whole board in a unique string so you can read in the board again from paper without needing to type too much. If this would be done with an optional barcode, you could have a really convenient way to import games. (Yes, I do have a barcode reader at home (Yes, I am weird)).

Another possibility would be to locally generate & store those IDs. That would be a lot easier to do, but it would make imports across different installations, or even users, impossible.
