I mean the desciption of the custom flag that you set in DB main window -
set custom flags.
1. Open a db in scid. Must have at least a few games.
2. I am opening one with about 8.
3. Set the TEXT for one flag. close the db
4. CLOSE SCID.
5. Reopen SCID and then open the db. The flag TEXT is not there.
You can also close SCID withoug explicitly closing the db . same thing.
This always happens:
1. Set the TEXT for some flags in a db.
2. Delete a few games.
3. Compact game file to remove the games permanently.
4. Close and reopen the database.
5. The flags' TEXT are now gone
By the way, the flags if any are set for any games are still there. So to
work around I made a note of all the TEXT for the custom flags in each DB
in a text file so if I lose it, I can set them back.
