The name, <a href="Searches.html\#Filter">filter</a> state and graphic type icon of each database is displayed, and the active database is highlighted with a yellow background. </p> <p> You can open the database switcher window from the <b><font color="#007000">[Windows]</font></b> menu, or by its shortcut key: <b>Control+D</b>. </p> <p> To copy all the filtered games in one database to another, drag with the left mouse button from the source base to the target base. You will then see a confirmation dialog (if the target database is not the <a href="Clipbase.html">clipbase</a>) if the games can be copied, or an error message if the games cannot be copied (for example, if a selected database is not open). </p> <p> Pressing right mouse button over a database produces a popup menu applying to that database, from which you can change the database type icon or reset its <a href="Searches.html\#Filter">filter</a>. You can also use this menu to change the orientation of the window (to arrange the database slots vertically or horizontally) which is useful for smaller screens. </p> <p><center><font size=-1>(Updated: Scid 3.1, December 2001)</font></center></p> </body> </html>
