[Scidvspc-users] Scid vs PC 4.9 bug

[thetasquared <ch...@th...>]

I really like the docked windows feature. Its one of the things I was
hoping for. I've noticed a small bug though. I'm running windows 7 btw...

When starting up the program, the window size is always the same (never
saves from previous time i opened it), and the chess board is constantly
flickering as if stuck between two sizes. This is resolved by resizing the
window, but it happens every time i start the program.


Thanks again Steve. Great work!!

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.

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.

I'm a little jealous, linux does not have the 64-bit version, if I leave 
the program, I lose all resize the windows, if I try to delete the 
window dockable "PGN", the program crashes if I open the window analysis 
of the engines and then close it again with the quick button, the 
program crashes. Aside from that, I am very happy with the features, 
dockable windows, because I can only occupy half of the screen, using 
the option dock at bottom, I can put fics below, and have a nice big board.
For me, the ultimate would be to have an option: only main board and 
fics with fics minimalist, only messages and edit line. I'm not 
satisfied with the popup, if they block all other transactions, should 
always be locked out above the windows open, sometime they disappear 
under the locked window and I lose time figuring out what the hell's 
going on :), for the rest of compliments for the job organic and 
systematic way you're doing to scid_vs_pc, is truly a unique program.

greetings and good work

Linux *is* 64 bit

You have an old build installed. Please clean your system and  install
the new svn or 4.9 source and email me if you have trouble.

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.
Now running: Scid Vs. PC 4.9 (20 April 2013)

ciao e grazie

When windows are docked, try: Options -> Windows -> Save Layout

thanks you, suggest to move
Options -> save options and -> Save Layout closer so it's intuitive the 
difference.

ciao e grazie!
