Ah, well on Mac you could also Drag & Drop to the Scid window.

No. Please open Database Switcher (Ctrl-D; Ctrl could be Command on the Mac, I'm not sure) You should have two bases n parallel in two different slots. Scids mainboard can, however, only display one game. > At any rate, I can't find it. (Or, do you mean drag the > PGN from the desktop? - but that doesn't seem to work, > anyway.)

Check out database switcher. Also available from the "Windows" menu or Ctrl-D. It should show you two slots, you can switch between them with the mouse. >> Also note that the clipbase feels like a Scid database but it is only >> temporarly in memory and never gets stored to the disk. > > Yes, I suspect many new users, like me, discover that the hard way.
