[Scidvspc-users] July beta, PGN export changes

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Here is a 32 bit windows beta.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/windows-beta/scidvspc_rev-2317.zip/download

There are a couple of new features.. The gamelist now has adjustable
column order, using a context menu similar to SCID, but also with
differences.
(One thing i still havent implemented is drag and drop column
re-ordering. The treeview widget (still) doesnt support it properly,
and i can't see the point of writing ugly code to implement it in a
half-baked fashion. )

A bigger feature change is that PGN export is now to Latin1 or UTF
encoding (see here -
http://scidvspc.sourceforge.net/doc/Encoding.htm
This feature has not been tested much, and not on Windows at all.
A simple litmus test is that exporting a database and reimporting it
should throw no errors, and have the same number of games.

Gregor Cramer (http://scidb.sf.net/) wrote/adopted this code. At least
partly because it is a stepping stone to including CCIF support for
Scidb and Scid, which is a replacement of sorts for PGN, and something
he is keen on. http://ccif.sourceforge.net/

If you find any bugs with this new export, please try to isolate the
database game into a new database and send it to Gregor (or me).
(NB - there may be minor character changes for unusual chars, but
nothing too ugly should happen. See
http://scidvspc.sourceforge.net/doc/Encoding.htm for a better
explanation.)
