I've got some familiarity with Bookup/Chess Openings Wizard and I was
looking for an application I could run on the Mac that would be
helpful developing my opening repertoire.  I'd played around with Scid
ever now and then in past years and thought I'd look at it again.  The
feature I was most interested in is Play->Training->Openings.  It
seems like there is a transition going on from a Repertoire editor to
using Trees and Masks.  Is the Play->Training->Openings function
working with Trees and Masks?  I have been trying it out and it's been
a little tough to get working.  I get the "Open first a repertoire
database with icon/type set to the right" error.  I managed to work
around that by opening the Windows->Tree view and creating a Mask and
loading a simple Game.  I noticed a few issues though:

* The Tree Window isn't really remembering whether it is still open or not.
* The Masks->Open Recent seems to not work.
* I can't seem to get the training to work for Black - always seems to
want me to play White no matter what I pick.

I downloaded the Wintel version and had the same issues.

Are these issues happening in an area that is known to need some work
or does anyone have any good tips to work around this?
