Ok, not really, but sometimes it’s nice to be able to program.
Shane’s Chess Information Database, or SCID, is a freeware program that lets you store games, do analysis, etc. It has a feature that will export a game with comments to HTML, but makes diagrams that refer to a couple of bitmap image sets the program comes with. This is fine, but means that you must post the game html files in a directory with those bitmaps. This isn’t very handy if I want to post those games in this space.
So, I made some minor changes to the source code to make SCID export its HTML games using Steve Eddins’ Chess Imager. It’s going to make my life easier and allow me to post games right here instead of having to link to them.
If anyone else uses SCID and wants this feature, I can help you, unless you use it on Windows and downloaded your own binary, because I don’t have access to a way to compile on a Windows box. My solution will work for Linux and Mac users.
Maybe I’ll have time later today to comment and post my last few games, about which I’ve been kind of lazy.
Now, however, I must go bake.
