Let's start by the end : > Sorry, you have to get a point here. Scid does not compare to > Excel. Excel is not a database.
The point is that "game 0" is sheer nonsense. It does not mean anything. It can't mean anything. Nobody understands what it means. We just go along. When a newbie looks at it, he is dumbfouded. We can tell that newbie: "look, (some) programming languages have the convention to start to count the element of their structures with a 0". Or something else, it does not matter. Great, now the newbie knows why he will stick to Chesspad. The problem is that, as I mentioned previously, that's an explanation for the reason why it's like that. But that does not justify it being sheer nonsense. This is more than useless information: this is confusing information. The point of Bruno, if I understand him correctly, is that the information on the top bar of windows should afford the user with useful information. The overall point of Bruno is that Scid could be more usable. Is that a point enough? The only way to reply to this point is to agree with it, and yet say that it's not a priority right now for the development team. PS: We could argue that Scid is no database either, by the way. But we already did have that argument, have we? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
