[Scidvspc-users] New translations and other

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Hi, No big news. Just a few things.

Today I added a framework for a few glaring missing translations
in the Main Board tab's right-click menu. These are options like Show "Menu
Bar", "Button Bar". So if translators are bored, they can grab their
respective file from svn and update it , looking for "TODO"'s. Are there
any other glaringly missed translations without TODOs ?

Also - Gregor has submitted his revised tk::text widget to Tcl-core !
It's pretty exciting - despite his code now  being "owned", scrutinized and
nit-picked over by the vaguely conservative but passionate TCL community.
For those that don't know, Gregor's rewrite removes a major issue with long
line processing (which slows down Scid's PGN window), and improves the text
window (eg comment editor) undo/redo function too. It should be included in
Tcl/Tk 8.7 (and I have also updated the inline patch for it in the
"patches" directory.)

I'm not sure big databases are really useful for me, or easy to make high
quality.
But good luck with it :) Lots to do. Your blog page is very slick.

cheers, Steven
