Importing engines into ChessGUI

Importing engines into ChessGUI

I have neither Winboard nor Arena installed on my computer.
Can some people test importing Winboard or Arena engines into ChessGUI 0.218 and report here ?

Does this import better ?

After import of about 6000 engines, I see some strange behaviors.

For instance, most commands that have anything to do with engines take a very long time (e.g. 5 minutes or so of hanging).

The "Edit Engine" took about 1/2 hour to show up.

6000 ? ChessGUI was designed for 5000 .

I should have put an import limit somewhere.

You can delete ChsGUI_Eng.TXT and ChsGUI_Cfg.ini and wait for a ChessGUI update.

Puh-leeze. Anyone serious about chess knows that 6000 is the lower limit.

Hello Matthias,

This is Dann Corbit.

The man has terabytes of engines and chess related data

He will break anything.....

Later.

If I augment the max supported engines to 9999, Dann may still need more within the next 5 years, I think.

Dann,

I updated http://www.chessgui.com/chess/ChessGUI.zip

Delete ChsGUI_Eng.TXT and ChsGUI_Cfg.ini if they contain only imported engines, and then import again.
Does "Edit Engine" still take hours ?

I will give it a try.
