[Scid-users] FEATURE REQUEST / Re: Sorting games in a Base

Thanks for your help! Yes, Benoit, that is a cunning workaround for a small Scidbase with 20 games. Tagging 80 or more games by hand in a special header each might be harder, though. Alexander, I agree with you, that in many cases it might be clever not to sort at all and have a quick search d

[Scid-users] Orphaned Rybka processes

2009-08-17 Thread Dale Emery
Hi all, When I start Rybka under Scid (4.0 DEVEL), it creates one process per CPU, and each process runs at full CPU capacity. When I close the analysis window or quit Scid, only one Rybka process is killed (the one with the lowers PID, I think). The other processes go to 0% CPU, but they hang aro
