When I do a simple search of a database in SCID (even from the clipboard designating the targeted database), I am unable to reset it back to zero afterward (all/2.8M, instead of the sorted 1023/2.8M). I end up closing the database every time and starting over. I would also like to know how to search the games found for wins with black after I initially search the current board, for example. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for sending the video, and I did watch it. After he copied games from the big reference database to the clipbase, he simply closed the big reference database down completely. This is ineffective if you want to continue breaking things down, but it's also what I've had to do out of ignorance. His also looks like a very old version of SCID. One thing interesting I noticed was that his had a Reset selection under the drop-down Search Menu. Mine does not. I really wish there was a comprehensive manual.
@SchliemannDefense Maybe you should go to their main site:http://scid.sourceforge.net/ and ask there! Indeed, this Video is very old! But there no actual Videos about Scid! You only find older ones!
@SchliemannDefense As I said: Maybe your scid is corrupted. Maybe you should reinstall it.
I just signed up and messaged one of their project guys. Fingers crossed.
@SchliemannDefense
filter reset---- control r does that work?

What do you use? SCID or SCID vs PC?
