With buffer you refer to the systems clipboard, I guess? > That's something I'd like to do when I right-click on the > Clipbase Icon. I considered this already. However, I'm not sure about it yet. Your Clipbase can easily contain quite a bunch of games. Maybe to much text for the Clipboard, I'm not sure if ther're any limits and if I guess they depend on the platform. On the other hand I'm not sure that "copy current game" is really sensible for the database window, especially if you right click on a database that is not displayed in the current main window it might confuse people quite a bit. > (Being able to Open a databse with the right-click is > a bit strange, btw.)

Do you really want to edit bare pgn in vi and then paste it back to Scid? (I've always thought I'm one of the few dinosaurs left that run (s)ed and vi against bare pgn.) > Whatever comes out of right-clicking, there seems to be a need to > speed things up with the Exporting Tool. Well, we could add exporting to this context menu easily, but I'm not sure that it really speeds up things if those context menus grow ad inf. OS/2 hid those entries not sensible in a given situation which gave quite short menus that really sped up things but if I can only disable an entry I still accumulate quite a list with time or a deep tree structure. Say we add Export to the context menu of the DB switcher, we have at least 4 exports for "current game" plus 4 other exports for all games in filter. Say two others for "to clipboard", This gives at least two or three submenues or 10 entries in the main context menu. Isn't it better to just resort to the Tools menu instead to keep all other things easily accessible, ie. readable at first glance? cu Alexander ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
