[Scidvspc-users] Window Docking beta

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

Window Docking is working and in subversion.
Subversion check out is something like
svn co https://scidvspc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scidvspc scidvspc
Here is a windows binary/gui (which can be placed in "\bin" with the full
install of ScidvsPC-4.8.exe).
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/windows-beta/scidvspc_20130331.zip/download

The feature is enabled and configured by Options->Windows.
There are a few differencess with mainline Scid.
The main board context menu is different (you can hide
stuff via this menu) Like Scid, you can dock
FICS/pgn/gamelist/comment editor/engines/tree. And extra to
Scid you can dock the playerinfo , bestgame, book and
crosstable, but not the tacgame/seriousgame/ECO browser
You can use the options "-dock" and "-nodock" from the
command line, but using "-nodock" will reset the
default docking layout (as a measure of error recovery).

There seems few bugs on windows and less on Linux :). But my
non-genuine win7 still throws harmless errors when program closes,
and i'm curious if anyone with an genuine/update win7 or
win8 has the same problem.

Whats happening with the tree window and best games is a
little complicated. It works for me but if you have issues,
pls find out how to replicate them and let me know.

BTW, Scid-4.4 is out. It's not a bad interface, but the new
filter stuff/sort doesnt need much serious prodding before
it falls over.

I'm more aware of little bugs in our filter too, so i'll try
to fix them sometime before next release.

Hi Steve,

I'm a recent convert to SCIDvsPC from mainline SCID... I've applied your
beta on my Win7 box and while it works fine from what I can see (I've only
had a little play with it), the time it takes to open has increased rather
dramatically.

Opening the app - without loading any database with it - takes over 2 and a
half minutes. Most of this time is spent displaying no information to the
UI, so I originally thought it was crashing silently.

Startup window text is provided below. As you can see it's loading player
photos and a large spelling file. I can try opening the app without these,
but it was loading quite quickly before applying the new .exe.

Let me know if you need more info, the docking seems to work great in all
other regards, possibly better than in SCID - as I said, I haven't had a
proper play with it.

Cheers
Dale

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

Hmmm ... i didnt check the photos feature, and there is an error with this.
(Thanks Benigno) Fix is in svn, and I'll upload a new windows beta sometime
(but till then just disable it
in Options->GameInformation->Photos)

@Dale - Hmm - this is nothing 'ive seen before.
Does it start any faster with Docking disabled ?
(Go to Options->Windows and disable docking, then restart)

It may also be related to the FIDE.spf bug i had, so disable photos as per
above,
or it could be related to windows DRM somehow. (Your slowdown sounds
reminiscent
of Windows Vista performance problems, though I know you are using Win7)
so try removing the spelling file. Please email me how it goes, and if no
improvement,
please zip up the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Scid vs
PC-4.8\bin\config\
and sned it to me.

@Mario - You should install subversion for ubuntu, then install scidvspc
with these commands
svn co https://scidvspc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scidvspc scidvspc
(or svn co http://scidvspc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scidvspc<https://scidvspc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scidvspc>scidvspc)
cd scidvspc
./configure
(check configure runs successfully)
make clean install
/usr/local/bin/scid

[Mario L. <mla...@gm...>]

Hello Steve,

I just can see your response sorry for that.

I already have installed the 4.8 not docking version, I need to 
uninstall it? (how I do that if I compiled it previously?) or I can 
install the svn version with no problems?
