#180 Scid Export aborted

[Drew Ferguson]

Hey

Sorry to annoy you again Gregor

I was attempting to consolidate a couple of huge databases dumping from Scidb to be cleaned up using scid
Data sources were all brought in from PGN files:
Mill Base
TWIC up-to-date
Enormous - a big old PGN I had kicking about
These were all consolidated to a single scidb dataset

Exporting them all to a scid file aborted with

[Database Import] Importing database: Mill Base.sci
[Database Import] 1,583,643 game(s) imported

[Database Import] Importing database: enormous.sci
[Database Import] 1,496,327 game(s) imported

[Database Import] Importing database: twic.sci
[Database Import] 2,135,729 game(s) imported

[Scid Export] Aborted due to an internal error

Also throwing an alert - see attached log

[Drew Ferguson]

Current scidb is r1421

[Drew Ferguson]

Unsupported variants seem to be Chess960 appearing in TWIC data
Unable to determine which game caused the abort; can you figure it from the log perhaps?

[Gregor Cramer]

I could localize the problem, it was a technical problem, introduced with an earlier version as I did some changes in namebase code, I had forgotten one important thing. With [r1422] the export should work.

[Drew Ferguson]

Yep, r1422 has resolved the problem
