Hello again,
I finished too early. After finding out that there is a comment window which
I have to open e.g. from the menu bar, I want to remove a game and searching
the game list in the menu bar. But there is nothing, but surprisingly there
right mouse click option in the games window. It creates a D entry wide on
the right side of the table. So first I did not see it as I have only a 1920
monitor. No I have to search how to compact the database..
Ok, somebody will say that I can configure the UI to enhance this. This is
true as I have some experience with computers and with chess databases. But
I wish that Scid does not loose so many potential users, which try it once
and then never again.

Betreff: Usablity issues
Hello,
I played a bit around with Scid, because I wanted to show the program as
alternative to Chessbase the next days. So I replayed a game and wanted to
comment a move with a question-mark. So how to do it. I followed Windows
guidelines, clicked on this move and pressed the right mouse button. Now I
got the offer to remove all comments - interesting as there were no ones in
the game. But I wanted to add a comment and there was no option and no hint.
So next I thought: Let's try Alt-C and see what happens. What happened was a
busy-loop of the program. I had to stop it with help of the task-manager.
Usability of Chessbase in many areas is bad, it does also not follow
standards. But usability of Scid is even worse. I think it would help the
project much more to improve here than adding feature after feature.
