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

I believe such scripts work great, but sorry, I have no intentions to become a programmer, nor do I have the time to learn scripting :) For me, GUI-clicking is the only thing I manage. I really need simple, fast and intuitive solutions, sorry. Alexander Wagner wrote: > In this case I admit tha

[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] Sorting games in a Base

Hi, let's say I have 20 games in a Scidbase. I would like to make game #17 my game #5. My old #5 becomes #6, #6 becomes #7 and so on. What is the quickest way to achieve this, if my choice of regrouping is not based on semantic criteria, so using flags, in that case, will not help me? -

Re: [Scid-users] Copy Variation

May I make this a feature request then, for upcoming releases? Of course, I have a lot of respect for all your efforts to add powerful new features to Scid, for example to make Scid more FICS-compliant, but I already have a good interface that connects me to FICS and I do not need a second one.

[Scid-users] Copy Variation

Hello, is it possible to copy/paste a variation from one game to another? In the Edit menu I see only the items Add v., Delete v., Make first v., Promote v. and Try v. At the moment, I copy the whole game to another scidbase, promote the variation to main line, strip all other lines and then I

Re: [Scid-users] Slovak in pgns

Re: [Scid-users] Slovak in pgns

Hello, many thanks to both of you for your kind efforts. @Franz: YES! the encoding in your attached Bildschirmfoto2.png is correct slovak! it is exactly how it should look like! great - now how did you manage this, and can you show me how to? @Alexander Wagner: no, the characters in your attach

Re: [Scid-users] Slovak in pgns

Thank you very much, yes, i can do all you asked me to. And yes, my Scid displays all your german umlauts properly, and i can write german umlauts in Scid myself, too. Now i have attached one pgn for you, written and sent to me by a friend from Slovakia. I opened this pgn in a scidbase, modifi

Re: [Scid-users] Slovak in pgns

Hello, okay, i somehow managed to change my system locale to LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US:en i restarted my system, but Scid still does not display slovak characters. Sorry, i do not want to be annoying, but this really seems to be a Scid problem. Other applications like my browser or mail c

Re: [Scid-users] fics aliases

not sure if this helps you, but you might also try and "finger mastergamebot" on fics. it will give you more handles, as it cross-stores opponent's names that have long disappeared from a player's history. -- you wrote: I am not sure that it is a good idea. The point is that my script

[Scid-users] Slovak in pgns / Chessbase formats

Hello, 1. Can Scid read CBV eBooks (ChessBase archived format)? 2. Can I make Scid display Slovak characters? Of course, I do not need Scid menus, help files etc. in Slovak; but it would be great if I could display comments in pgns in Slovak. I am using Linux. Thank you! -

Thank you very much for your help, i got the idea. Yes, opening a scidbase and editing the pgn in it works fine. Now another question: I have added a variation in a scidbase. Now, in the "Edit" menu, the 3 items "Delete Variation", "Make First Variation" and "Promote Variation to Main Line" are
