I do notice using SS that pencil mark elimination is not as "automatic" as SudoCue was (is). For example, placing a big number in a cell, the other cells where pencil marks are slated to be removed show up in yellow and the user then has to click somewhere on the grid to actually have them removed.
Also, big numbers placed in overlapping areas are not automatically placed when going to that overlapping area's other grid. The user has to manually place the singles that were placed in the other grid in the current grid.
This is true. I guess it doesn't bother me very much because I do most of my solving on paper rather than from within the program. I resort to the program only if I happen to get stuck and I'm trying to determine whether I made a mistake or the puzzle is simply beyond my current capabilities. Otherwise, I use the program mainly to calculate pencil marks for me and print the puzzles out.

I do not understand why this is not just flat out automatic.
Unfortunately, I can't answer that. That would be a Richard question.

You asked where the samurai puzzle came from. It was created in JSudoku with the solver set with techniques that I want to possibly be in a puzzle.
I suspected that might be the case, but thanks for confirming. I'm in the process of solving the puzzle now (mainly an hour or so before bed each night).
