I think it would be useful if these evaluations with shallow depth were replaced by a more accurate evaluation, that is based on the evaluation of the position after the forced moves. Perhaps you can implement this in a future version of Kingsrow?
Much easier would be to do a full search at positions with forced moves, which would also give a PV that is consistent with the position. The disadvantage is that since 15 or 20% of positions are forced moves, the games analysis would take that much longer.
Here we are talking about automated analysis of pdn files. Would you also want to see a full search done at forced moves in interactive search modes Analysis and Analysis Allscores?

I certainly didn't mean to suggest doing a full search at positions with forced moves, which would be a waste of time. A full evaluation at a forced move (including PV and depth) can easily be derived from the evaluation at the position after the forced moves. In fact, that is what I do myself right now as a post processing step.
I was talking about the automated analysis of PDN files. But in interactive search mode it would probably be useful as well. At least I can't imagine that an end user is interested in search results with a shallow depth. I find them very distracting.
I did some more work on the program and updated mediafire.
I have analysed a game in Dragon Draught. Then I loaded the file in DamGraFiek.
The grarph I get differs to much from the graph in Dragon Draught.
See the ProvoostFlikweertanalyse.pdn file stored in de subfolder Dragon from the directory where DamGraFiek has been installed.
Some non-free moves are probably not evaluated.
Seeing this I think it is in all programs better to analyse all moves and write the value in the pdn file.
At the point of kingRow I have not enough pdn files with analyses, or the logfile to have a good test.
