Hi Carol
The error message
dpkg-query: package 'scid' is not installed
presumably means that you compiled and installed scid for yourself. Is
that right? If the package management system is not in control of the
installation it may not have it added to the list of installed files.
It seems

Hi Carol,
No problem. If you run the dpkg command to give you a list of files
installed by the Scid package (you may have to prefix this with sudo,
cannot remember)
$ dpkg -L scid | grep bin
You should get a list something like this :
/usr/local/bin/pgnfix
/usr/local/bin/sc_eco
Ok, thanks. I am at home in the terminal, which I used to prove that
pgnscid no longer existed. :-). However, I think the GUI methods for
importing pgn are more than adequate for my current needs.

Steve,
I've just been investigating Mike Curtis's comment about sc_import. As
you are running Ubuntu, if you are comfortable using the terminal then
this shell script is used like this (to quote the opening comment of
the script itself)
# sc_import:

If that's the case, I'm not sure why one would keep working with SCID. As I
understand it, SCID is made to use its own format. To import from and
export to PGN files each time one is
1. I don't use si4 files at all. I found then very unefficient for my
purposes, so I work only on PGN files.
2. I don't know how to use si4 files, so I choose "save PGN" files,
which I know how they works.
I can edit PGN's easily in Notepad. I delete "rules infraction" games
and similar bad
Thanks!
But now that I understand the model, I don’t really have an issue.
Perhaps you are so used to Scid’s unusual model (unlike any program I’ve
ever worked with) that it doesn’t strike you as strange. But the
documentation ought to mention it more prominently. Basically you HAVE TO
create

Try sc_import instead.

No, it's still useful for converting PGN files from the command line.
You can't automate mouse clicks.

Hi Steve,
Maurice answered already so I just try to append to his information.
1. I'm using scid on Ubuntu Linux 19.04. The web site used to have a
document for installing the latest there? I no longer see this. Don't
remember how I previously installed it.
You can either download from
Hi Steve,

I've volunteered myself to try to improve this. I've found that I need
to know the program much better than I do to really get to grips with
this. Lately I've been held up by ill health too. Had an operation 3
weeks

Hi!
Recently I've been extensively using the correspondence side of scid and
I found some shortfalls, not that I'm complaining, in actual fact I'm in
no way tempted to go to any other tools, although I have to use ECTool
for a few of my games... (IECC doesn't use Xfcc...)
