HCE Pro 1.2.1 Import multiple files

[Ruyter]

Hi,

I know it was to duplicate the problem in same environments.
the HCE format is powerful and I use it each time.
the search speed is famous and so on big database.

Then I close HCE PRO and then HCE Pro save the pgn file and finally I have a 2GB size file saved.

I would add one more thing: please don't use PGN for large files unless you really really need it (so, mostly, for export to another program).
PGN is not a format suitable for large databases: it takes a lot of space and changing one move in a single game requires a complete rewrite.
Use native database and export to PGN if necessary. Your data will be safer and everything will be faster.

I'm working on cleaning the data: every single large database is a real mess, and when you merge them the result is even worst.
I'm using large pgn files only to prepare them for the required processing, which is based on tools like 40H and pgn-extract, and then sent to a software I developed.
The final destination is HCE format, anyway.

I changed the log message to this:

Code: Select all

PGN: [Warning] PGN parse error in game 1 (buggy.pgn:11): illegal move 'Rd2'

Thanks, this is going to be very useful in case of multiple import.
