Post comment/reviewWhat is scidCommunity?
scidCommunity differs from upstream Scid by offering enhancements not present in the upstream repo. Enhancements include:
- The Header Search dialogue has been improved with the addition of a new "Layouts" button at the lower left. This button replaces a "Save" button that has been disabled for years. The new button allows users to name, save and load sets of search parameters they use frequently.
- The hotkey Alt + s has been added to invoke the Search button.
- The Engine windows have been enhanced with new depth and move time input windows for limiting an engine's calculations. If users choose to use Scid's Save Options, the inputs will be saved as the defaults for future use.
