Re: [Scidvspc-users] Regarding Scid Vs Mac shortkey for choosing Variation

[Alan W. <a.c...@gm...>]

Under Linux, I had to set this: Options --> Moves --> Show Variation Arrows.

Then, when coming to a variation, a window pops up and I can use the 
up-arrow or down-arrow keys to select a variation and press the Enter key.

[Scidvspc-users] Regarding Scid Vs Mac shortkey for choosing Variation

[Arun K. <aru...@gm...>]

Hi All,

In Scid Vs Mac whenever there is a choice between variations (i.e. the grey
arrow and the black arrow), I feel very inclined to have a keyboard
shortcut that could help me switch into a variation or continue with the
mainline. However currently there is no such keyboard shortcut and the any
combination with forward button invariable continues with the mail line.
Could you please let know if there is a keyboard shortcut incase I am
missing it?

Thanks and regards,
Arun

Program Files is the correct place to install on Windows. What is not 
correct is to store user data there.

It should be installed where everyone can use it (and so
\Program Files\scidvspc but user data must be stored in their own space 
so one user's preferences don't affect other users.

I installed it to a friend's Win8 laptop today, and was disappointed to 
see it would not start.

watching relay games, the server use pause to stop  clock, then close 
the game (later)
is possible for scidvspc to detect and manage the command pause?

[Scidvspc-users] OS X 4.9.2 release

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

I have released a new OS X build....I had forgotten the custom Tcl/Tk

[Scidvspc-users] Docking fix (OS X / windows)

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

I may have a hack to fix the OS X docking issues.
It is in subversion, but for those on OS X without the chance to
compile scidvspc yourself, could you please add this 'update' (dont
add the plus sign) following these lines (in
/Applications/ScidvsMac.app/Contents/MacOS/scid or tcl/utils/win.tcl)

  # Make new tab active
  set ::docking::activeTab($dsttab) $path
  set ::docking::changedTab($dsttab) 0
+ update

Of course - it is a workaround for OS X's TCL event loop brokenness.
It is possible it will fix any windows docking startup anomalies too,
but i cant test this for a fortnight or so.

cheers, Steven

Works flawlessly under Kubuntu 12.04. I was able to switch back and

[Scidvspc-users] Game History Feature

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

Could people please test this new feature in subversion (which i'll
remind you is now at a different URL since the forced project upgrade
"svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/scidvspc/code/ scidvspc-code").

At the bottom of the Game menu, you'll find a list of recently opened games.
It is adopted from the bookmark system, and as-such, does not support
games in the clipbase. The number of recent games is 5 by default, and
can be altered via Options->Recent Entries.

Re: [Scidvspc-users] more tactics

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

Thanks Aleksandar,
I have combined them and given them a description ("More Tactics")
and uploaded them to the extra files directory with a README.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/support%20files/more_tactics.tgz/download

I might not bulk out the default installation anymore at this point,
but sometime in the future
we should expand our web page(s) and link to all these extra files.

[Scidvspc-users] Opening Report Bug?

[Alan W. <a.c...@gm...>]

Hi Steve,

The opening reportwindow does not seem to be honoring the options set by 
the user. I cleared the checkboxes for the 'Statistics', 'Current 
Popularity', 'Average ratings...', and 'Result lengths...' but the 
report still generates all of the data.

I changed the 'Maximum games in theory table' number from 500 to 300 
andthat one part seems to work.

Regards.

P.S.
Do you prefer to receive comments/concerns through the mailing list or 
throughthe forum in the project page?

Yes, window layout restore wasn't working in undocked mode. I have
committed a fix.
(Will try to make the gamelist re-place correctly soon).

You have to right click the board tab in this mode.

[Scidvspc-users] Docked Board Window Problem

[Alan W. <a.c...@gm...>]

Hi Steve,

In docked mode, it seems that right-clicking the main board window no 
longerworks. The submenus do not appear. Right-clicking the other 
windows, such as pgn and game listwork fine.

[Scidvspc-users] Window Layout At Startup

[Alan W. <a.c...@gm...>]

Hi Steve,

It seems that scidvspcis not able to remember the window layout upon 
exiting. I opened the programin non-docked mode, then I opened the pgn 
and game list windows. I made sure that the startup options were checked 
for these two windows,and I even clicked on 'save options'.

After closing scidvspc and re-opening it, only the main board window 
appears.I'm not sure if it's scidvspc or my Linux environment (kubuntu 
12.04.)

Thanks!

Thanks Alan for finding a nasty bug in non-docked mode.
I think it warrants a point release. There's a couple of new features too.
Hopefully these files are relatively bug-free. I'll make an OS X
release sometime soon.

[Scidvspc-users] Window Layout

[Alan W. <a.c...@gm...>]

Hi Steve,

There does not seem a way for scidvspc to "remember" its non-docked 
window layout upon exit. Docked mode provides a way to pre-configure 
custom layouts, which is very nice. Is it possible to have this feature 
for the non-docked mode?

Or at least it would be most convenient for the windows to remember 
their size and position after re-opening the program.

Regards,

Alan.

My mistake, I had installed an older version of scid, after downloading 
the recent one I confused the sources. The crash bug closing windows 
dockable, have been resolved.
_The remaining problem is_ related to customizing the size of the 
windows, if I close and reopen it, I lose all sizes, made previously. I 
also lose the choice of closed windows,always opens main board and PGN, 
PGN while I do not need because it breaks up the board.

I'm a little jealous, linux does not have the 64-bit version, if I leave

Re: [Scidvspc-users] Scid vs PC 4.9 bug

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

Yes, Scid vs. PC 4.9 is officially out, and the web page
http://scidvspc.sf.net has had some updates.

I can't test the win64 installer myself (which was compiled by
Ozkan)  and there is a bug about installing it into
"Program Files", so it probably has to be installed into
a non-privilidged directory.

Re this bug below, yes it can happen sometimes
necessitating a manual window resize, but not very often in my experience.

PS - in SVN i have made a nice adjustment to the gameinfo photos.
Click on them and they become small and alligned north-south.
