I upgraded from 4.6.2 to 4.6.4 and I'm stumped. How do I change the default
opening databases?
In 4.6.2 I simply opened my databases and closed SCID. Then the next time I ran
SCID, SCID opened to where I was.
Now in 4.6.4, everytime I run SCID it
I am interested in automating updates to my SCID databases (ie:
chesspuzzles.si4) and I haven't had any luck finding program coding notes
regarding how to read SCID's *.si4 data format; and append it.
Has anyone tried to programmically update/append their SCID databases? Can
anyone point to a

I'm having a problem with chess engine control.
I have selected as my chess engine Stockfish 2 thread (SF-2T), and it performs
perfectly in my analysis window. However, when I choose the "+" icon to "add
move", most of the time the pieces move as indicated by my selected chess
engine
Just curious why is it that the "Top of the Day" window is below and hidden
from view when opening 4.6.2? Why isn't it the top most windows?

I've noticed new behaviours and the biggest difference is that I can't use the
arrow keys to move forward or backward in a game. Is there a new setting for
this?
Is there an updated keyboard shortcut list?

This is not a SCID question, but I am wondering...
1. Does anyone know if it is possible to restrict a chess engines analysis to
white-only or black-only?
2. Does anyone know of a resource/webpage that lists the valid parameters for a
chess engine?

2. What does this red "D" mean? Diagram, what?

So I select a game and left-click the first move of the game. Then I use the
RT-arrow to advance the game until I come to a variation. At this point, I
click on the first move of the variation and then I can use the RT-arrow key to
advance through the variation.

In the notation window, I've see 3 lines of text which identify the game.

Is there a method to add my own personal "game summary" notes after

Such as...

I've been trying different analysis engines and noticed that not all of them

So far I've only seen Stockfish and GreKo annotate (produce an annotate icon in
the analysis window). With other engines, the annotate icon disappears.

I have a few question regarding using SCID.
1. After I create a database, I open a "Game List Window" and start scrolling
through the games.
a) If I click on the header Date I see a tiny arrow. And it toggles up and down
as I click this header. But what it doesn't do is sort the games by Date.
