[Scidvspc-users] Bug in PGN-export with language not equal English

[Frank W. <fr...@gm...>]

Hi stevenaaus,

thanks a lot for your great SCID-fork. Now playing chess makes fun on
Linux as well.

However, I think I found a nasty bug in the pgn export.
I changed language to German: Therefore the notation also switched into
german language ==> ok. But the pgn also gets saved that way and the
file cannot opened any more, because that's not the pgn standard. :-(

Example:

A) English Language works perfect
1.) Open ScidvsPC
2.) play moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Bb4
3.) save as pgn (menue: file->save pgn) ==> ok
4.) open that file again ==> ok

B) Bug in Language German (and maybe others as well)
1.) Open ScidvsPC
2.) play moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Bb4
3.) save as pgn (menue: file->save pgn) ==> file gets saved in "german"
notation = 1.e4 e5 2.Sc3 Lb4
4.) ==> this file cannot be opened any more

I'm working with the latest version 4.11.
I don't know if this error crept in with that version or even existed
in earlier versions.

Could you check please?

Thanks again for your great work here,
Frank

Hmmm.... This is longstanding behaviour, but is probably undesirable,
and is now fixed in svn.
Windows users can make this change to scid.gui (add the two lines with
a '+') if they care to test.

cheers, Steven

Thank you, Steve.

Now I noticed that the functionality
"Tools->Export Current Game->Export Game to PGN" works as
expected there already now. I will use that one meantime until new
version with that bug-fix is released - thanks again!

Another question, although it's another issue definitely:
What is the functionality of the button right beside of the "rotate
board"-button in the main toolbar (looks like "copy"-button)?
Didn't find anything of this one in the help-menue. Is it possible to
create mouse-over-info's for those buttons in the main tool bar as well?

Thanks again,
Frank

yes, I also would be for this option... but Steven is against it. Maybe
we can persuade him to change his mind... ;-(

Hmmm....
The function of that button is to "raise all windows" and is mainly
used in non-docked mode,
The two rectangles dont quite look like windows, so maybe another icon
would be better.
