[Scid-users] Scid icon

2013-01-30 Thread Mark Morss
After a drive failure recently, I had to reinstall Scid, and in the process I lost my nice little "scid mark" icon that I was using to start Scid from my XFCE desktop. Could someone please point me to the location of this? I've searched the download without being able to find it. Best to all.

ight to express here so long as I do so politely. You ask where I would turn if I gave up on SCID. A better question for an open source project like this one is what a number of people, capable of writing code, would do if they didn't like the direction the project was taking. Nice ta

Since you ask, I perhaps should say that I am an old Unix hand and I fully subscribe to the "do one thing well" philosophy. Much of what I see from the SCID list server causes me to worry that SCID is on the path to becoming bloatware. There seem to be a great many calls for gingerbread with icing

Yes that is indeed very nice, and I'll probably disable the variations box and use the arrows, which are more conveninet. Still that doesn't answer my original concern, which is the behavior of scid when the variaitons window is open. Best, Mark Morss On Wed, 2010-12-29 at 1
