Hi! Just a short note for those of you owning some version of ChessBase Playerbase (included in the Mega): I was able to generate some metadata associating playerbase images (playbase/PLAYBASE.MMN/NNN99999.jpg) to the actual player names. Conversion for my Mega 2006 succeeded yesterday providing some 9500 photos usable for scid.
I could provide the metadata file (a simple xml-based structure) and also a short perl-based hack on "how to get it into scid" if someone is interested. Due to (possible) copyright issues I could of course not provide the about 100MB file of photos itself. Note: The CB-Photos are about twice in size as the ones used by scid (with the nice feature ot be all of the same size), so they are scaled down for scid to 80x100. Of course one could think about using the original size. Scid can display them but they take up to much space in the player report, so this would probably need some code adoptions. If someone is interested in that problable (s)he could volunteer in those adoptions. Pascal: I'm not sure wether this xml file is suitable/of interest for the scid distribution. Franz: to generate the metadata I used your ratings/spellcheck file. Special thanks for that! -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Universitaetsbibliothek Ilmenau Langewiesener Str. 37 98693 Ilmenau Tel.: 03677/69-4521 , Fax.: 03677/69-4617 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
