Also ok with me.

The added value IMHO comes into play if you use scid as a
pgn viewer which may result in opening a lot of "DBs". I
currently have a program object that calls scid with my
reference db to open it right after startup, its another way
to handle it, so no holy war about this point ;)

Probably I'd move them then anyway up to the other engine
start menues. IMHO they are a bit lost at the end of this
list below the Import function.

Other question: considering we all agree on the above
points, would you do the "moving arround"? At least I for my
part frankly admit that I'd gladly not touch anything really
_inside_ scid. I do not know the internal code good enough
to see wether there could be some effect in an other area as
you mentioned. Though I could of course edit menue.tcl and
commit it.
