Hi everyone,
I must say that I'm impressed by the new features I found in scid, I
always used the version from the original project and I loved it then,
imagine how I like it now!
Since I had a lot of things installed and customized, I reinstalled
the operative system and tried again but I get the same problem
with a
fresh system.
Wow! That's going the extra mile for scid. :-)
Well, it's the only chess db that works for me :-)
I'll be curious to get feedback from you about what works and what
doesn't in the build process.
I used scid_app target and the build process went smoothly, I got a
nice Mac App, really nice!
The changes I have are mostly to build a universal binary and to
get better builds of the included engines.
Maybe I missunderstood, but I was expecting some engine built, there
was none.
Can you confirm that you compiled 3.6.24 RC1 ?
Version "3.6.24" is reported by scid, it doesn't display the "RC1"
though.
I tried the Correspondence Chess feature and I found a couple of
issues. On the window with the list of retrieved games, every column
scrolls independently from the others, so the lines get all mixed up.
I can't change the size of the window; when I try to do it, the last
column scrolls but there is no other change.
On the main window, the squares of the top (a8-h8) row are 2px smaller
(65x63) than the rest and those of the left column (a1-a8) are 1px
smaller (64x65) too. Look as if the whole chess table has been moved
one px to the left and two up.
The online live games worked fine, except that I couldn't find the
timeseal file. When I'm observing more than one board, the main board
switches between them on every new move, it would be nice if there
where a list or some way to manage multiple boards. At least in FICS,
"Offers" are known as "Seeks", it took me a couple of second to do the
conversion (shame on me!). The analog clocks are hard to follow for
me, maybe because I never used clocks on OTB games, but also because
the rendering of the hands is a bit rough.
I'll keep trying it and will let you know if I find something else.
Many thanks for working on scid!
Israel
