git clone command is routinely timing out now

Thank you so much Fulvio for your very helpful response. I was not aware of the google style search capability and that will work just as well for me. Thank you for all your work on Scid.

Save button on Header Search does not work

Thank you very much for your response Fulvio. Because of the size of the database, I am going to send you a subset. The subset includes games numbered 29, 90, 103, 126 and 151 that when you attempt to open them you get "Wrong parameters. Sorry, this game appears to be corrupt" The corrupt games are evident on the game list because they list a length of moves between 19 - 44, but the "Moves" column does not show any moves.

Here is some additional information. Here is output from a "non-corrupted" game I was able to open. You can see all the irregular symbols that have been introduced. I did a "chkdsk" on my hard drive and it is not reporting any problems/corruption. It seems as if Scid has corrupted one of the header fields and it appears to be introducing header fields into the section where the moves are as comments. [Result "*"] [WhiteElo "2272"] [BlackElo "2255"] [ECO "D36f"] [EventDate "2022.07.26"] [h{ JGDLC&N!K'2EEfFmEf

Suddenly I am getting many more reports of corrupt games

Thank you so much! I will also take a look at the code directly. Thanks also for the pointer where to find the line where the limits could be set. Thank you for all the nice developments to Scid.

Meanwhile, if you're feeling brave, you can try editing the code directly by changing line 43 in the engine.tcl file:...
