Moving Games and Exercises between Chapters - czbar/ChessForge GitHub Wiki

There are 3 ways to move games or exercises between chapters:

• Move Game to Chapter / Move Exercise to Chapter functions
• Move Games and Exercises between Chapters function
• Select to Copy or Move from Identical Positions

Move Game to Chapter / Move Exercise to Chapter

There are two parallel functions available: from the Game view you can move a single game, and from the Exercise view you can move a single exercise.

In our example, Game 4 from Chapter 2 (green below) should be moved to Chapter 3 (green arrow below):

 

Open the game and right-click to bring up the context menu. Select Game and then Move Game to Chapter (red below):

 

Select Target Chapter dialog box opens. Choose the required chapter or use Create New Chapter button to move the game to a brand new chapter. In our example, we select Chapter 3 (blue below) and press OK (red below):

 

Our game was moved from Chapter 2 to Chapter 3 (green arrows below):

 

Move Games and Exercises between Chapters

To move games or exercises from the current chapter to another, use the Move Games and Exercises Between Chapters function (red below). In our example, we move 2 games and 1 exercise from Chapter 6: Black Plays ♝b4 (green below) to Chapter 5: Black plays ♝g4 (green arrow below).

 

The system opens Select Items to Move dialog box, listing all games and exercises in the current chapter (green below). You can check the Show All Chapters box to display items from every chapter (blue below). Mark the games and exercises you want to move (red below) and press the Move button (purple below):

 

In the Select Target Chapter dialog, select the destination chapter (blue below) and press OK (red below). To place the games in a new chapter instead, click the Create New Chapter button (green below):

 

The system moves the selected games and exercises from Chapter 6 (green arrow below) into Chapter 5 (green below).

 

Move Games and Exercises from Identical Positions

Identify a relevant position (green below) and run Find Identical Positions function from the Edit menu (red below)

 

Chess Forge found all studies, games and exercises that have this particular position. Use Select to Copy or Move button (red below)

 

to open Select Items to Copy or Move dialog box. Use check boxes to select the items you need:

• global check box (blue below) will select/deselect all found games/exercises
• chapter check box (purple below) will select/deselect all games/exercises found in a specific chapter
• item check box (green below) will select/deselect a specific game/exercise

 

If you have many chapters with many items you can double click on the Chapter name (orange above) to collapse/expand the items in that chapter. If the chapter is collapsed the chapter tick box indicates how the items in this chapter are selected:

• a tick in a white square indicates that all items in the chapter are selected (purple below)
• a tick in a grey square indicates that some items in the chapter are selected (orange below)
• empty white square indicates that no items in the chapter are selected (yellow below):

 

Once all the required games and exercises are selected press Move button (red above). System opens the Select Target Chapter dialog box. Select any existing chapter from the list (blue below) or use the Create New Chapter button (green below) and press OK (red below). In our example we will use New Chapter option:

 

The system creates a new chapter (red below) and displays a dialog summarising the items moved (purple below). You can stay in the current view or go to the Chapter view (blue below), where you can see that 6 games were moved (green below):
