Can you reproduce it, or sheer bad-luck? > Is there any way to recreate the index file? > I am not the expert here, Pascal may be able to help better, but notice the following: When you open an old-format database (sn3, sg3, si3, etc), scid will convert this database to the new format (s*4). This means a simple rename of the sg and sn files. Interesting for you is that the si3 file is deleted and re-generated from scratch... So you may be lucky with the following: 1) Copy your sg4 and sn4 files to <try>.sg3 and <try>.sn3 2) Copy your (empty) si4 file to <try>.si3 3) Start scid and open database <try> If I read the code well, scid will immediately do the "conversion" based on the file names, even without seeing what is inside the dbase files....
