Re: [Scid-users] Tournament grid

Is this what you wanted ? I can't test the row functionality without your css.
You'll have to compile Scid yourself though :

Attached is an altered crosstab.cpp. Place it in the src directory, or you can 
make 
the changes yourself: Lines to replace begin with a single '-', lines to add 
begin with 
a single '+'

S.A.

Hi,

thanks for you answer, it seems that's what I need.
But to make all the changes I need, I choose another way,with the help of a 
friend. I wrote a small Perl script, which make the search and replace and so 
I have the html table that fits my needs.

I think it could be a nice feature if you can change the style of the html 
generated by Scid. I don't know if it's really useful for a lot of users though.

Hi!

 Thanks for the information.
 It is not clear yet for me as I am not copying or modifying an application, I 
 just need some information in it.
 I'd like to use the eco file content as a text but not as an active part of 
 an application.
 I'll do my own scripting with that information and do something completely 
 different from Scid.
 
 If it is too complicated, may be someone know where I can get the eco 
 detailed description on the web (eco code, opening name, moves) and use it 
 freely.

I agree with Fulvio. Being no lawyer either (luckily) I think everything 
is fine as long as your code stays in GPL, though I'm not even sure it's 
a requirement. So, just go along do your stuff. :)

It would be nice if you state that the information provided it from 
Scid. Not only cause it would be nice to the project but, as the Scid 
ECO uses an extension to the usual ECO even your users would surely like 
to know where the all those funny characters come from.

Re: [Scid-users] Tree windows

Hi!

 I always have the tree windows opened when using scid.
 I have two problems:
 1) Sometimes it get stucked leaving me with a waiting mouse icon
 2) I need to wait that the current search ends to move to another position

Agree on this point.

 I want to correct that

Great! :)

 and would like to have your opinions on which 
 behavior is better.
 When the user want to move back or forward and the tree windows is still 
 busy:
 1) cancel the current search and starts the new one
 2) schedule the new search but ends the current search too
 
 My preference went to 2, considering that so results are computed and 
 cached.

Giving the fact that the reference base in question might be a several 
millions base where all this searching takes a while I tend to go for 1, 
as 2 might be quite slow.

Still, there might be an issue here with how the fill cache function 
works. I don't think that there is a side effect but you should be 
careful not to break it. The other function that might have a side 
effect is Fill mask with base as this would currently also create a 
nice cache for a mask and this is actually desirable, I think. And at 
least fill mask seems to work by just moving through a game in autoplay. 
I'm not sure about how fill cache is implemented. As far as I understood 
it you need to jump to each relevant end position, that's why 
treecache.dat looks like

{}
{1.e4}
{1.e4 e6}
{1.e4 e6 2.d4}
{1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5}
{1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5}

and so on.

 For example i can scroll fast the first 10 moves of a game, so when i 
 come back i have an instant cached result.
 However i'm trying this solution but it's a bit weird: until all the 
 searches are ended results unrelated to the current position on the 
 board are displayed and you can't click on the tree windows to select moves.

I think, that the user should definitely see what he expects to see 
right away that's why I think your option 1 would be nearer the mark. 
Additionally, you'll not always want to fill the cache. If you can pull 
his search to the front and move the other ones to the back it would 
probably be ok, but I'm not sure about this scenario. In my actual 
gameplay I've games in several stages where I switch to and fro. Some in 
the opening where the tree is very helpful and should be updated, some 
in the middle or endgame where ther're just no games anymore. Do you see 
an automatic way to prevent Scid from continually updateing the tree here?

I didn't use the extended Scid eco though.
