Hi,
In my endgames database I currently have an extra tag JrnlDate which is
when I last made a change to the game. For example, an endgame from
Basic Chess Endings could have a Date of "1941" and if I make changes
today then I would set the JrnlDate to "2026.04.24". Unfortunately, I
can't sort on JrnlDate, and filtering is by string value only, so I
can't select ranges.
I want to repurpose the EventDate, which I currently don't use for
endgames, because EventDate is in the Game List for sorting, and it's in
the Search dialog for range filtering. But I am reluctant to do that,
because such an EventDate won't survive a round-trip to/from pgn. The
Scid import discards an EventDate if it differs from the Date by more
than 3 years. (I guess this could also be a problem for some historical
correspondence games, but that's not my concern at the moment.)
My proposed solution:
Make the "3 years" a configurable number. If the number is sufficiently
large then it would be practically equivalent to turning off the
EventDate checking. I wouldn't mind having to edit options.dat to change
the number.
Possible?
