Thanks, Fulvio! New users should beware that to prevent SCID from loading the example database, they need to:
- go on the new Gamelist window; - click on Show/Hide databases (the book icon); - right-click over the example database; - unselect "Load at startup" Selecting "load at startup" will of course load the database at startup. *** This feature does not to load a database as tree. It will load the database, but not the tree. To load the tree: - select the database you want to open as a tree to make it active [^note]; - open the Tree Window either by pressing CTRL-T or via the Windows menu There might be a way to order the loading of the databases so that the last one loaded is the "opening book," so this step might be a way to bypass this step. However, the Tree window needs to be reopened each time, I believe. I can't save my layout with it open, and I can't save it as an option. Having that option (say in Options/Windows/Startup) might be nice. Being able to load a specific "encyclopedia" might be even better. This would lead to the idea of using specialized SCID databases get specialized: openings, endings, studies, problems, tactics, etc. *** I don't know if there's a difference between "load a database as tree" and loading a database with the tree window opened, as I am only starting to use masks, which is not a simply task. *** In any case, since SCID 4.6.0, I experienced very few crashes. When I mostly was my fault. I was pushing SCID a bit too far: processing big files while the engine running wild with a very big cache and lots of tablebases hits, etc. Great work!
