Hi No sweath! Converting inside the program, as you describe it, is a good way to test things, and for a lot of purposes it does the job! There are however situations where a commandline tool like pgnscid is the best way - so of course it should work, and in my experience... it does! -- Med venli

Hi Just convert the pgn file within the program and don't use pgnscid. Works like a charm. To do that, open scid, create a new database with a name you like, open the .pgn file and move the files within the "Database switcher" (Shortcut ctrl + D) For better understanding, watch this video: http:/
