I'm wondering why we don't save the data in an SGF file, and display the
data in the annotation window. There can't be that much additional data
to store: rollout progress, seed & counter spring to mind.
It's always bugged me that that once you click OK on a rollout the
information is gone; you can't export it or anything. At present, if you
want to keep rollout results you have to kick them off from the
annotation window. This is too easy to forget about.

I've wittered on about this before. See

you're interested.
