Based on principle, I'd follow Fulvio. It seems that people are trying to
push him out of the project he created. That's pretty unacceptable, even
if you all came from 3rd tier universities.

I'm just confused as to what the big deal is?
The original scid is (apparently.. I don't know this for sure) not well
maintained because the original developer has better things to do.
Someone else has made a fork that's more actively developed and maintained,
and now there's discussion to make S

Hello Thomas,
Are you using Scid on the Go? A great app. I too am addicted.
If that's the case, you might be at the wrong place. Even if Gerhard
is following this mailing list, you might have a better chance to make
him remember of your issue if you post it on his Issues page for his
project:
Although I put the correct name in the "My player names" form, and the
program DOES remember the name, it still puts White automatically on the
bottom, even when the player name is playing Black. I'm using a Droid X, in
case that matters. Thanks, and thanks for the great program, including your

Thought of something just as I was about to hit "Send", and I believe it is
the case. It looks like you MUST have a name for White, even if you just
want Black's perspective. I had White's PGN space empty; when I filled it in
with "Opponent", and left my "tewald" in Black, it chooses Black's

I could do this.
But we should think about revisiting the whole architecture.
Anyone who takes a look at the source code should know what I mean.

Hello again,
Now under the influence of caffeine, I can see that my instructions
had at least one mistake:
in scidvsmac, there is no Database Switcher.
So here's the revised procedure for the second method:
1. Create a new database: File/New (CTRL-N).
2. Open your Pgn file (CTRL-O).

1. Create a new database: File/New. (You might need to select the
appropriate file type here.)
2. From that Scid datab
