Merging games is a complex field. I am busy with other parts of Scid now
(handling 64 bit file systems). So if someone wants to have a look, he is
welcome.

> 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.

> 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?

> a bit funny to switch to Windows every time I need to merge
> games/analysis...
