First Move is Tenuki

Workaround: Alter the EXCEPTION_MOVE_MISSING procedure. Set EXCEPTION_MOVE_IS_PASS =
{0} tenuki
Restart Gowrite. Represent the first move as a pass. (This does not work if there are both tenukis and passes in one diagram.)

Successive Tenukis

Workaround: Alter the EXCEPTION_MOVE_MISSING procedure. Set EXCEPTION_MOVE_IS_PASS =
{0} tenuki
Restart Gowrite. Represent the tenukis by passes. (This does not work if there are both tenukis and passes in one diagram.)

Last Move is Tenuki

Workaround: Use the EXCEPTION_MOVE_MISSING procedure. After the tenuki move, put a fake move elsewhere on the board. In the game tree, remove the preceding tenuki move and go to the fake move elsewhere on the board. Mark a board area not including the fake move elsewhere on the board.

File

It is also possible to manually edit C:\Users\<username>\.gowrite\translation_en_23_48.xml, then restart Gowrite. (Other Gowrite versions can use other file names.)

Other Texts

Instead of "tenuki", you can write another text such as "elsewhere", "ladder breaker", "ko threat", "ko-pass", "ko-pass for the ko K" etc. Do not forget to write "{0} ".

Other languages

Instead of English (en), other languages can be abused, provided you select them thrice.

This feature has been added in gowrite 3.x versions:
It is possible to add "custom exception" to move.
Go to move requiring the exception, and press button [...], there select "custom exception".
Now move should be in exceptions with text given.
