Hello, in SCID it is not possible to overwrite a game in a PGN file and consequently it is not possible to annotate it directly. It must first be imported into a new database or into the ClipBase. However, thanks for reporting the bug, it should show a more understandable error message. I think

Hi Ed, even though we have never talked to each other, I know your chess projects, which are useful and interesting. I admit I don't know anything about the Polyglot format, but it seems to me a not too complicated and useful modification. You are proposing to change this code: https://source

Re: [Scid-users] is tklib bundled?

2020-08-10 Thread Fulvio Benini via Scid-users
Yes and No: you don't need the tklib but the tcl/tk library is not automatically installed by SCID. When configuring SCID, a tcl library must be found, automatically or manually (https://github.com/benini/scid/blob/github/azure-pipelines.yml#L194 ). If the Macports' libraries correspond to the De

Hi Greg, thanks for the detailed analysis. My guess is it doesn't depend on the engine but it is triggered when the analyzed move is added to the current (probably complex) game. It is pretty easy to debug SCID on Linux, something like: sudo apt-get install build-essential gdb cmake tcl-dev git cl
