[Scidvspc-users] error opening name file / Scid vs. PC version 4.12

[Jörn B. <j.b...@ag...>]

Dear Steven,

I guess there is a small bug when you enter more than 256 characters 
into the "event"-field. After you try to save the database, the program 
shows a error-message.

If you want to reopen this database, the program crashes. Trying to fix 
the database with "scidt -N databasename" shows that the database is 
corrupted.

A short GOOGLE search shows a trick to recover the database, however the 
information in the name file is lost and maybe some hours of work.

You can reproduce the error, if you fill the event-filed with 255 
characters, store it  and everything  is fine. Adding another char and 
try to store the game again, the program crashes.

I hope this helps to improve your wonderfull program.

Best regards
Joern
