After upgrading Scid to version 4.7.4, I find that Scid won't properly load PGN files that contain the "Black crushing" symbol. A minimal example:
$cat test.pgn [Event "?"] [Site "?"] [Date "????.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "?"] [Black "?"] [Result "0-1"] 1.e4 e5 2.f3?! Bc5 3.g4?? --+ Qh4+ 0-1 $scid test.pgn After Scid loads, an error window opens, reading: (game 1, line 9) Failed to parse the move: Qh4+ (game 1, line 9) End of game, ignoring the part after the last error. The display in the PGN window of Scid reads: ? -- ? ? ???? 0-1 1.e4 e5 2.f3?! Bc5 3.g4?? -- 0-1 (Note the deletion of everything after the --+ symbol.) I haven't encountered a similar problem with any of the other annotation symbols, so for example, after running: $sed -i 's/--+/-+/g' test.pgn the file opens just fine in Scid. I'd rather not have to do this on every single PGN file, though. Is there some simple edit to, say, a TCL file in the directory /usr/share/scid/tcl/tools/ that might fix this? If it's relevant, I do notice that the file analysis.tcl contains a comment: # Nags. Note the slight inconsistency for the "crushing" symbol (see game.cpp) which doesn't make sense to me, as the file game.cpp doesn't exist anywhere. Best regards, Greg Marks
