Re: [Scidvspc-users] Scid vs. PC 4.12 release candidates

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

Here's the Win64 release candidate

http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/windows-64bit/Scid%20vs%20PC-4.12.x64.exe/download

It includes the new (and untested) fast database open feature which is
missing from the win32 build.
Note - after file open, there is still a pause as the Name counts are
recalculated. This check can be skipped using "-fast" command line
option (mainline Scid does now skip it by default), but i dont
recommend this.

[Scidvspc-users] Scid vs. PC 4.12 release candidates

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

If there's no major problems with these, i'll update the links/etc in
a few days, and maybe we'll have a windows 64 exe by then too.

Thanks, Steven

Mac - http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/mac/ScidvsMac-4.12.dmg/download
Windows 32 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/windows/Scid%20vs%20PC-4.12.exe/download
Source/Linux - http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/source/scid_vs_pc-4.12.tgz/download

Changes (against 4.11) Scid vs. PC 4.12:
-------------------------------------------------------
Gamelist/Filter fixes. Filter works better with Tree.
New Crosstable tie-break options and reorder Crosstable menus.
Game-result is now shown alongside Player names, at top of GameInfo window.
Middle button in main board toggles game info.
Databases open faster (Linux/OS X only - "avoid the time consuming
file locking". Windows is in testing).
Allow dragging Docked Window tabs to alter their order.

Gamelist button/menu changes:
Flag button is now context menu, Gamelist Save is moved to
tools->export, Find button removed (use enter in Find entrybox)

Spelling changes:
Update spelling file to a custom version of Franz's Jan-5-2014 spellling.ssp.
Spell-checking can now remove GM, IM, FM, CM, WGM prefixes from player names.
Doing player-name replacements, show how many fail due to age/date
considerations.

FICS changes:
Add user-configurable init commands.
Board size slider is now a menu.
Game Offers pack over buttons (making it less crowded, use
escape/button-2 to cancel).
New find entrybox to search the console.
Remove Clear button (as getting crowded).
Remove the never used big clocks.
Add start, end sounds (and minor sound fixes - though still buggy).
Dont save FICS aborted games.
Disable engines when playing a FICS game.

Analysis and Annotation changes:
Make 'scoreToMate' work better and faster, which stops occasional
incorrect Mate-in-N lines showing up, and works better at near-mate
positions.
Make the Annotation config window fit on small displays.
Stop engine at end of annotating a single game.
Try a new approach to Depth-based annotation, which works better, but
still needs fine-tuning.

Spanish translation update from Igor Sosa Mayor.
Polish translation update from Adam Umiastowski.
Add a find entrybox to the splash window
Strip PGN Tags improvements
Right-clicking toolbar Game-Save icon quick saves game.
Sound devices can now be selected; mainly useful for Linux systems
Dont insert newlines into PGN copied to text buffer... Some web PGN
browsers don't work with newlines following movenum. eg "10.
Nxc3"
Save game history when Scid quits
Remove tree status bar. Same info avail in switcher and tree text widget.
Booktuning nextmove is now highlighted (same as Book), and padding has
been tweaked a bit.
Move Maintenance menu from File to Tools menu
Remove the annoying " from myPlayerNames.

Bugfixes:
When saving PGN to file, disable translating pieces. (Export to PGN
was already this way).
FICS Digital clocks didnt appear under some circumstances
Undo/redo refinement/fix for when buffer has been full
Fix import issue - Sometimes first tag is lost (If UTF byte order mark
is present)
MSWindows - Board keyboard bindings are were getting lost after
Variation window popup is dismissed.
Some tooltip refinements, including removing tooltips with board
update (mask tooltips were erroneously persistent).
Tablebase window: Results Board was not getting packed (is now below
Results Frame). Change the damn awful red, update help, give tbWin the
widest paned window.
With wish8.6, we cant close undocked windows with a Close button. Fix
Some fixes for javascript and html game exports
Correctly handle plain text crosstables.

It happens on Windows in docked mode after selecting the variation number. I don't normally press enter -  should I?

[Scidvspc-users] Hideable Gameinfo changes

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

I wrote a little code to toggle the Gameinfo window with the middle
mouse button.
Of course, it was hideable before, but now when hidden the status bar
is padded somewhat and converted to show a small "White -- Black
(result)" below the  main board, so make sure statusbar is not hidden.
(see attached pic).
NB Gamelist also has hideable info with middle button click.

It is quite usable :) but because i have converted the statusbar for a
little label, it is quirky too when entering moves, and perhaps i'll
have to tweak it some more.

[Scidvspc-users] Html export issue

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

I've made a couple of changes to the HTML export, and am just letting
others know because i am not super
familiar this feature.

In frames 1 and 2 of the attached pic you can see a change i have made
to COLUMN mode of html export.
Previosuly, comments are placed below move, making the White and Black moves
appear on slightly different lines. In frame 2 one can see the change
i have made.
(For cosmetic reasons I would prefer to use () instead of {} for
bracketing comments, but PGN necessitates {})

The third frame shows "16. ..." after the diagram in the html/javascript output.
This is new ((previously, black moves trailing diagrams have no ".
...") and is a straight forward bug-fix i believe.

Mainly, i'd just like to check that these changes don't break any
other export feature.

NB - the javascript fix is to scid.gui, while the pure html change is
to the C++ backend, necessitating a recompile.

cheers, Steve

[Scidvspc-users] Feature Request: Different Colors for Different Variation Branches

[John G. <joh...@gm...>]

I'd like to request the ability to set different colors for different 
variation levels/branches in the pgn window. Chess Assistant and 
Aquarium do this and it looks really cool. I find it helps me keep 
things straight when there is a mess of variations. I'm attaching a 
screenshot to show what I mean. Obviously this is nothing urgent, just 
an idea. Thanks.

[Scidvspc-users] Feb 2014 changes

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

I've put up a windows 32 bit beta for people to test the new stuff.
I've tested this on OS X and Linux much more than Windows though, so
hopefully it's ok.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/windows-beta/scidvspc_20140216.zip/download

Recent changes include
* Allow reordering of docked window tabs with drag and drop
* Allow removal of "GM ", "IM " prefixes via the player spellchecker
(you'll need the new spelling.ssp from here -)
https://sourceforge.net/p/scidvspc/code/HEAD/tree/spelling.ssp?format=raw
* new approach to Depth-based engine analysis (probably still bugs),
and Stop analysis at end of annotating a single game
* Make 'scoreToMate' work better and faster
* Game history persists between sessions
* Some filter bug-fixes for when copying games in the switcher.
* Booktuning nextmove is now highlighted, and widget is padded tighter.
* Bug fix for wish8.6 with undocked windows
(thanks to Enrico for finding this, and driving me crazy in the process :>)
* Undo/redo refinement/fix for when buffer has been full
* Some sound restructure - still not great though.
* Disable engines when playing a FICS game.
* pgn export tweaks (piece translations shouldnt be exported)

Re: [Scidvspc-users] eco2pgn?

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

Well, that's something i'd never seen before :)

The scid.eco doco is a little errant, so i will fix that up, but the
script is eco2pgn.py, it is in the source scripts directory.

There does exist a eco2epd make target, which is also interesting. The
output files from both these scripts are attached.

One thing thats been on my mind is how best to export the end
positions of games in a database to epd.
Does anyone know to do this, without writing a custom tcscid script ?

Hi Steve,

I stumbled upon the scid.eco file which states that it can be converted

Can you shed some light on this?

[Scidvspc-users] Comment: Bug in PGN-export with language not equal English

[Stefan G. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi,

this behaviour is only when the option "Options -> Moves -> Translate
Pieces" ist ticked "on". (Optionen -> Züge -> Figurenamen übersetzen)
So the moves in the moves-list appear in the same language as
triggered in "Options -> Language". A simple workaround to that for
now is to untick the "Translate Pieces" option.

The solutions to this ist so make sure that the pgn-File ist always
saved as a compliant pgn-file in "english"

Also want to say THANK YOU --- for that current enhancement and
generally to that great chess program Scid vs PC!

My aim is to use only this program in the future - I tried a lot of
different chess programs, and most were ok, but always something
missing.

Scid vs PC has got all the functionality now and is very good in use
nevertheless...
And with some additional tooltip / explanation now at some icon it's
absolutely perfect... :-)

Re: [Scidvspc-users] some buttons w/o mouse-over informations

Ok. Had a good think about this. I'm not keen to adding tooltips to
the button bar in any fashion.

Implementing a right-click "What's This" tooltip is hard, but maybe i
will do it, otherwise i will
include a "Button Bar" link in the help index. The button bar is
already in Help under
"Index->Main Window")

I will add tooltips to the tree buttons too.
Thanks for the feedback :)

yes, you're right. Linux svn-version... But in the tree window, there
are no tips and these icons are really not self-explanining... Maybe we
can convince Steven to change it...

Re: [Scidvspc-users] some buttons w/o mouse-over informations

[Frank W. <fr...@gm...>]

Hi Igor,

I was only speaking of the buttons of the mainbar, because I thought,
all other buttons already have got mouse-over-info's.

In the analysis windows, there are all the mouse-overs already now
(I use 4.11, linux version). But you are right, in the tree window in
the left corner below there is also no mouse over at those two buttons.

Remark: I rename subject of this emails now... First issue already got
solved.

Cheers,
Frank

well, I have to disagree... the icons in the analysis window and in the
tree window are not self-explanining...

Hi Steve,

thanks - another icon would be quite good, I guess.

Doesn't seem that you already are convinced to create
mouse-over-info's there additionally... ;-(

I can see that a little bit... too many mouse-overs etc could became
the same pain like the HTML-<blink>-tag got sometime... And I agree that
the most buttons of the main toolbar are self-explaining
definitely, that's why no mouse-over needed there, yes.
Two exceptions:
- the button we were currentyl speaking, "raise all windows"
- the button "start/stop trial-mode"... without help-menu rather
  mouse-over at origin scid-program, I never had guessed what that
  button can be used for

What about following idea:
- interchange the button "start/stop trial-mode" with the button
  "rotate board"
- after that at the rigth side there are the trail-mode-button and the
  raise-windows-button
- that are quite special functions, that are worth to get a mouse over
- all other icons are self-explanining and don't need a mouse over

Best Regards,
Frank

I don't know what you exactly mean, but I guess you're speaking about
the ECO codes. You need a ECO file with normally is distributed (I
think) with scidvspc. The name is scid.eco. But you must tell Scid_vs_pc
where the file is: Options-> Load ECO file.
