Hey,

This question may have been asked before, but I'm curious about the behavior of 
the 'merging games' functionality. Some of my thoughts:

- When merging game A into game B, A is added as a new variation. Is this a 
conscious choice? It seems illogical to me. For example: if game B is analysis 
of an opening variation, it's not possible to add a newly played game to a 
non-main variation of the analysis. Workaround: manually change the appropriate 
variation into the main line, merge games, and change back to the original main 
line.

- Is is possible to include variations when merging? Practical examples: adding 
an analysed game (with relevant notes) to a game which consists of opening 
analysis; adding an pgn-update of an existing opening book to the original 
analysis; merge multiple analysis of the same position (different pupils of the 
same teacher, shared analysis among friends).

- Is it possible to merge multiple games at ones?

I get the feeling that I'm missing something and this feature is included in 
Scid, but I'm unable to find it... I do have a workaround for all these 
problems, because using my ancient Fritz 5 on my Windows partition it's as easy 
as selecting the appropriate games and pressing 'Enter'. However, it is a bit 
funny to switch to Windows every time I need to merge games/analysis...

Regards,

Joram op den Kelder
