(I wanted to put this into the Tips + Tricks section but am not allowed as a non-moderator. Lauri, if you like, please move it, or possibly correct it before.)

(1)

Enable Pivot

If you use Windows and a screen with Pivot function while GoWrite does not work properly in portrait position, uninstall GoWrite, coldstart Windows, install GoWrite, coldstart Windows, use GoWrite. During the installation, choose Tweak Options and Disable DirectDraw (or was it Disable DirectX?).

(2)

Enable Clipboard Graphics

If you use Windows and sometimes a bug occurs while you use clipboard graphics, go to Options | Clipboard Graphics | Windows Metafile | Edit | Portable Fonts (Vector Fonts).

(3)

Select Intersections

To select intersections, use the right mouse button. Optionally drag the mouse to mark a rectangle of intersections. Optionally hold CTRL to add further intersections to the selections.

(4)

Add Same Labels

To put the same label onto several intersections, first mark them, then use Insert | Label or its shortcut CTRL L.

(5)

Clip View

To get what you want, you might have to swap the View, choose CTRL F or CTRL + SHIFT + G, set a diagram or not, possibly use Edit Diagram Settings.

(6)

Many PNG Files

Try the File | Export command for that.

(7)

Change Colour to Add

Behind the "Add:" click on the numbered stone. That has the effect of Change Colour to Add. After Undo, you might have to change again.
