At the moment it is not possible to create epd files.
It is not a difficult feature to add, I only wonder what the right behavior is for games that contain multiple positions.

I fiddled with the resize problem I have. I couldn't solve it. Though I noticed it is only significant when it displays a list of games - even if it is just one.

No, the original author of SCID stopped working on it many yeas ago:
https://sourceforge.net/p/scid/wiki/ShaneHudson/

I'm the one maintaining the project since 2013.
OK.

Thank you Fulvio. However I see that the possibility to save the hash memory is still lacking. As you know, the capability to use persistent hash is a feature heavily used both by correspondence players and by people aiming to deep analysis. I am sure that the whole Scid community would be grateful is you guys could implement it.
