I think part of the confusion in this discussion lies in the fact that
Benoit is referring to the layout of files in the Windows version, which
is rather different from the layout of scid-related files in the Linux
version. I guess using the convention "\bin\data" rather than
"/bin/data" etc might have been more accurate :)
The Linux version does follow FHS by default, as far as I can tell.
Okey

Thanks for the feedback, Chris and Iwu
I am playing in a correspondence chess championship right now and can
only
invest one evening per week. Sorry for the delays and all. I'd never
thought I'd use SCID that much!
Here are my responses.

I can't think of many programs that don't read their config info on
startup.
Right, but the point here is that loading a spellcheck file will work
without having to restart SCID, while the same kind of procedure won't
work
for photos. It took me a while to make the procedure works. There are
less
patient users than me who will give up.
Sure, it's just photos, but I restarted to use the Game Information
Area to
see mug faces!

Why should this be an issue? e.g. If I upgrade scid it doesn't remove
any
files.
There are many issues with this, neither of which are critical.
The first depends upon how you upgrade SCID. As Iwu, I upgrade SCID in
a
new directory, which means I keep my old installation intact, in case
OK. In my case I update with 'apt-get update'
something broken happens, or in my specific case because I test many
versions of SCID. Also, we give users a portable binary, which means
either a new directory gets created, or the old one gets replaced by a
new
SCID installation. I often use SCID from an USB key, and prefer that
kind
of install in general.
The second is architecture consistency. While I can understand how
SCID
came to organize its files the way it does, to put data files in the
/bin
directory may be tough to justify on conceptual ground. Besides,
there's
already /bin/books, /bin/tcl, /bin/data (!), etc. I see no reason why
there
should not be something like /bin/players, or better yet why we shan't
separate /bin and /data, where /data could be used to store players'
info
and other kinds of data, in a subdirectory (or not, as I dislike
subdirectories in general).
Is there not the FHS to consider?
