[Scid-users] Auto-Save Cache File

2008-01-03 Thread Cory Helfrich
Hello Pascal, The state of the "Auto-Save Cache File" Tree Window option is not persistent. If I want to automatically save the cache file on exit, I have to select this option every time I run scid. Is this intentional? Thanks again for all of your great work on scid. Best regards, Cory

Hello ! 1. After reading Pascal's FAQ, I was left with the impression that I don't need X11 to install Scid on my new OSX. The ./configure did not complain, but the make did complain a lot ! Since most of its rant is crafty-related, I continued the test. But now, scid does not find tkscid. Inst
