Hi!
If you upgrade scid, it will want to install into a different directory
tree (which has the advantage that you can have both versions intalled,
if you wanted to compare them). So, you would either have to change the
default, so as to install into the old directory (which may cause some
issues, haven't tried it), or copy the spf/spi files to the new
installation's \bin directory.
I generally store my scid databases, photo files and spelling files in a
separate directory tree. On Linux, I can symlink to the photo files from
~/.scid/. On Windows, I need to remember to copy the .spf files to the
"bin" directory each time I install a new version of scid.
I wonder if it would makes sense to remove the "hard coding" that makes
scid look in only \bin (Windows) or ~/.scid/ (*nix) for the spf/spi
files, and instead make it configurable, using a selection dialog, such
as that used for the spelling or tablebase files?
Okey

I've finally got the time to reproduce the whole procedure and it made
me rewrite the HowTo:

Seems that one needs to restart SCID for the images to appear. Also, the
players' names files can be everywhere one wants, but not the photos'
files - they need to be in the /bin directory. This could be a problem
for those who would not like to redo that everything they reinstall

Instead of 'everything', I presume you mean everytime? Why should this
be an issue? e.g. If I upgrade scid it doesn't remove any files.
