More SCID question.     I am working with a database around 80 games.  Trying to use Custom FLags to manage the games.  So far I have been unsucessfull at changing a flag once it has been set.     I have one flag to mark a game pending review (#1)and another custom flag (#6) to mark a game review completed.  Any words of wisdom?

You must first choose the custom flag you are wanting to change/undo.  For example, if you have game flaged with CustomFlag6, you have to make sure the FLAG: CustomFlag6 is visible, before you can undo it.  Once you select the Flag you want to change, you can unmark that flag and then choose another one to mark it with.

Hope that makes sense.

Hmmmm  let me see if I can figgure out what you are saying.   Thanks

Maybe a screen shot will help.

See the button below (in the middle) where it says "Flag: White opening [W]"?  What I mean is, you have to click there and you'll see that drop down window...MAKE sure you select the flag type you wish to undo, and THEN click "unmark" current game etc.  In other words, It wont let you unmark a game unless you selec the flag (on this screen) that it is currently flagged with.   (hope that made more sense.)

FYI, I made a short tutorial video on using SCID for anyone interested.  Just very basic stuff, like how to create a new db and add games to it etc.  If interested, the video can be viewed on my Profile page.   There's a chance I might do more in depth videos, if interest is there.

Regards.

Thanks for the Screen Shot now I understand the sequence and why I couldn't get it correct.   Also discovered today I could change the flag from the "Game Information  Window" by highlighting the flag then right click.  Opens a drop down menu.  Click on "Un Mark Game" which opens the flag list.  Then click on the flag to be deleted.

Have you tried to join the SCID e-mail board?

I've looked at the group, but have not joined yet.   The latest 4.3 version seems to have a few bugs I am hoping to get some answers for, so I will likely join soon.

I thought I signed up yet couldn't seem to acess past e-mail posts.  Meanwhile I was flodded with e-mails from other group members.  Many of the e-mails had attachments.  I won't open those e-mail's.  Eventually started marking them SPAM to move all future e-mails out of my inbox.  So far the few non-attachment emails that I have opened concerned topics I was out of the loop about.    Maybe you will have better luck.

MrWayme, I was afraid of that (spamarama), which is why I have not signed up yet. Seems most user email groups are like that.   I think I'll stick to lurking that forum for the time being.  I have enough spam as it is.   Wink
