Hi Your problem is, obviously, that Scid doesn't "understand" Italian! The PGN standard calls for using English symbols - though there exist a Tag for specifying alternative sets of piece-symbols. I seem to remember that these alternative piece-symbols are not implemented in the PGN-import functions, and if your games contain comments (in Italian PGN-format) the conversion might easily become quite complicated: First it will be necessary to avoid filtering the TAG's, and then it will be necessary to filter the moves, but not the comments!
I am certain that it will be possible to use the tr command in linux to accomplish this conversion, but for Windows and Mac I'm totally lost! I hope somebody with more knowledge of the inner workings of the PGN-implementations in Scid (and some knowledge of the available library functions for character-translation) has a better answer! But of course it would be VERY nice to have Scid perform as well as CB on this task! bw Palle Bratholm > Hi, > > I'm italian and use this beautiful chess software!! > > I have found this problem: when I enter in the menu > "Paste clipboard text as PNG game..." and click in > "PASTE CURRENT GAME (Alt-P)" and then click on > "IMPORT (Alt-I)" > there are many problem with the chess piece symbol, like knights, bishop > etc. This the error: > > ================================== > Errors/warnings importing PGN text: > > 11: Error: Unexpected symbol: Ce2 > 11: Error reading move in game Ripplinger, Philipp - Juenemann, Marcel, > 206: d6 > 11: Error: Unexpected symbol: Cc6 > 11: Error: Unexpected symbol: Ae3 > 11: Error: Unexpected symbol: Cf6 > 11: Error: Unexpected symbol: Cd2 > 11: Error: Unexpected symbol: Cg4 > 11: Error: Unexpected symbol: Ag2 > 11: Error: Unexpected symbol: Cxe3 > 12: Error: Unexpected symbol: Cc3 > 12: Error: Unexpected symbol: Ce5 > 12: Error: Unexpected symbol: Ae7 > 12: Error: Unexpected symbol: Cg4 > 12: Error: Unexpected symbol: Af3 > 13: Error: Unexpected symbol: Tae1 > 13: Error: Unexpected symbol: Ag5 > 13: Error: Unexpected symbol: Cd1 > 13: Error: Unexpected symbol: Ag2 > 13: Error: Unexpected symbol: Ad7 > 13: Error: Unexpected symbol: Cc4 > 14: Error: Unexpected symbol: Th6 > 14: Error: Unexpected symbol: Tf6+ > 15: Error: Unexpected symbol: Tf2 > 15: Error: Unexpected symbol: Txf2+ > 15: Error: Unexpected symbol: Cxf2 > 15: Error: Unexpected symbol: Td8 > 15: Error: Unexpected symbol: Th1 > 15: Error: Unexpected symbol: Ah6 > 15: Error: Unexpected symbol: Cd6+ > ================================== > > Sorry for my english and thanks! > > Oscar > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval > Try the new software tools for yourself.
