Hello Okey, Thanks for this tip - now it works :-)!
> One more place to check is to "set" the Spellcheck file. It seems that Scid > 4.6 beta does not automatically include either spelling.ssp or > ratings.ssp (the spellcheck files) in the package, so you have to download > one. The spf/spi files need either of those to work properly. > You only need one, though. The ratings.ssp file is bigger but allows you to > add ratings to games. > > You can download the zip files from the Scid site. Click "Get Scid", then > "Player Data", "Latest Data", and then download spelling.zip > and/or ratings.zip. Once downloaded, unzip the zip file (giving you the .ssp > file) and remember where you save it. > > After downloading them, go to Options > Load Spellcheck File, and then > navigate to your .ssp file of choice. > > You should then have the picture show up. As a future reminder for me (and maybe others) I just want to sum up all the necessary steps: To see photos of the players in Scid 4.6.0 for Windows I had to * download the pictures from http://scid.sourceforge.net/download.html: FIDE, Wikipedia and historic players photos * download player ratings (or spell checking data) * unpack the files in the "Scid-4.6.0/bin" directory * load a spellcheck file with "Options" > "Load Spellcheck File" > choose "ratings.ssp" (or "spelling.ssp") - the spf/spi (photo)files need them to work properly * set the option in "Options" > "Windows" > "Show Game Info" active - to see the game info underneath the chessboard at all * set the option in "Options" > "Game Information" > "Show Photos" active - to see the photos When I replay now a game between Capablance and Tarrasch e.g. their first game in St. Petersburg, 1914, I can now see their portraits underneath the chessboard. By the way: Tarrasch won this first game. Thanks again for all your help, Okey All the best Werner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
