Though it's not well documented, the gamelist column for 'Country' is merely the last three letters of the game's 'Site' field. This setup seems to be a defacto of sorts in PGN, though i'm not terribly knowledgable about it. Scid's Site Spellchecking tool does a reasonable job of adding these three letters to the Site. eg "Baku" >> "Baku AZE" (505) "Baltimore" >> "Baltimore, MD USA" (1) "Banja Luka" >> "Banja Luka BIH" (18) "Barcelona" >> "Barcelona ESP" (83) "Barcelona (Spain)" >> "Barcelona ESP" (3) Anyway, I have added this to doco ... but i'm wondering if we should enforce this a little in the gamelist. A simple test i can think of , if the 3rd last letter is not capitalized, don't display the country field. Another option would be - if the fourth last letter is not a space. Is 'Country' found/used anywhere else in ScidvsPC beside the gamelist. ? Steve |
