Import PGN desktop vs mobile

Post by ordinary_chessplayer »

As a Linux user I am not likely to ever purchase a Windows or Mac version, but mobile lacks the Import PGN feature and I guess it would not be so easy to add. As a workaround, how about a command line utility for importing on the desktop?

Something like:
$ cow -import -pgn newgames.pgn -4md "~/Dropbox/Apps/Chess Openings Wizard/mybook.4MD"

I would pay for that. Actually I would even pay for a Windows command line utility because it would almost certainly work well under Wine. But a Linux utility should not be too hard to produce using the existing code.

Ensure that you possess the requisite permissions to read the PGN file and write to the.4MD file. The contents of the PGN file are appended to the specified.4MD file by this script. It may be necessary to format the data in accordance with the.4MD file specifications.
