This looks like "Scid scripting" for me : the concatenation of various commands : Open base -> filter player -> open as tree What you ask for here is certainly easy to do but will add more menus to Scid, more options, if hard coded (the classical way)... To be able to record actions and replay them or to script Scid would be very nice, but certainly harder. For now I just finished the port of Glaurung to ScidPocket, and it was not a piece of cake !

I fixed it without changing anything in file structure and code and simply changing config.tcl.conf in that way: if ecoFile is not set during config.tcl exec, then we can use default settings.

The instruction which sets default ecoFIle was moved and landed after options file loading. So scid loads ecoFile from options, then overwrites this variable with default ;-) Workaround: symlink (or copy) your eco file in /data (after all, make install puts eco file just there, you had to do sth special to avoid it ;-)) Likely patch: split options handling out of start.tcl into separate file (say load_options.tcl or sth like that) and modify Makefile.conf so instead of TCLS= \ tcl/start.tcl \ tcl/config.tcl \ it reads TCLS=\ tcl/start.tcl\ tcl/config.tcl\ tcl/load_options.tcl\ (sorry, I do not have time to write it and test today). PS The only true change was from set ecoFile "/usr/local/share/scid/scid.eco" to set ecoFile [file join [file join $scidShareDir "data"] "scid.eco"] - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

But maybe some progress window would make sense. Before, Tree window was always shown first and tree data were computed later.

Limiting tree to filter was my old suggestion, but Shane refused to implement it then. This can be used to check, for example, opening tree only for strong players or only for games with ECO code matching the opening we are studying (thus speeding up tree calculation) -- Michal Rudolf - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Fairly useful when one wants to check what is the future opp playing. In case of scid one could approximate it if it was possible to restrict the tree to the filter (although this feature is useful enough to be given own name and menu pos...) (woa, and as we now have multiple trees, it would be possible to have 'opponent tree' and 'main tree' open simultaneously...) - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
