SCID vs Mac (or PC) - inputing a game - resignation

Hi everyone. I've started using SCID to analyse and annotate games. I usually input the game move by move (normally from a chess book) and then annotate them. In case a game ended by resignation I don't know how to input that. Is there a way. I  cannot find a direct way and I can only think of the tedious exporting the PGN, inputing "1-0" or "0-1" as the last move and then importing again. Thank you

Try this - In the menu,

Game --> Set Game Information --> Result

SCID is free but I find its interface is confusing.

SCID is the only software of its type, either paid for or free, I found available for Mac.

I guess dual Mac-Windows OS does not hurt your laptop grin.png

It does not but it's very cumbersome, well at least more cumbersome than getting used to the SCID interface.
