I too like to switch with the Database Switcher. I am not suggesting that we remove the Switcher and build it into the menu. I am merely saying that merging games between databases should be accessible via the menu. As is switching between databases: File/Switch to Database [1-9]. More generaly, every action possible in Scid should be accessible in the menu. If our menus render that task tough to do, chances are that the menus need to be improved. I vaguely recall that in Nicbase, it was possible to filter and export at the same time. Perhaps the Search menu could be expanded to include actions like that. > I want to see how many games are filtered in a database without any click. One gets information by looking at windows or by outputing reports. How many games there is in a filter is obtained by looking at the Gamelist window. The Gamelist window is very important, so important it's always there in databases. Since right-click opens up a contextual menu, it always depend upon context. So we need is to attach relevant actions to the proper contexts. What are the relevant actions in the Gamelist window? > I want to drag and drop databases to copy games instead of ... hmm ... what > is here the "standard"? Depends on the verb: exporting, porting, merging, etc. It would be nice to export a complete filter into another Scid database. In the Tools menu, we already have the Export/All filter games. When you're in your Gamelist Window, you can right-click and already merge at least one game in another database. So it's not impossible to imagine that we right-click to merge all the games in a filter into another database. (Perhaps it's already possible and is only a limitation to Scid under OSX, I can't check now.) *** Drag & drop and contextual menus are cool, but they're only tricks. If someone does not know how to do something, chances are that person will try to find it by looking at the menus. *** All this does not preclude Scid for being a real kick-ass tool.
