OK, I bit the bullet and compiled the latest stable. First thing I noticed was the autoplay feature was gone, documentation under the help menu said ctrl-z started the autoplay, but it doesn't! I eventually found it hidden in some icons(?) below the board, but when I click one of the icons, I can't get rid of it! I have to go round clicking on things till it disappears. :( Why was the old way of implementing autoplay changed? Also running the mouse pointer over an icon no longer displays it's function - why was that handy feature removed? Is the documentation being updated to reflect the changes being made? I ask this, because the docs are wrong about the autoplay, for example. I was going to purge the scid package, but now I'm not too sure to be honest, sorry, but I'm not sure I like the changes to existing features. I haven't gone through the program yet to see if it still does things that I'm used to doing, but the menus below the board behaving weirdly with mouse clicks, prompted me to write this response straight away. Is anyone else finding trouble with the icons below the board in regards to ignoring mouse clicks? -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
