Do you mean several pgn files?

After pressing Get PGN you will get something like this.

A special problem is also the en-passant move, right? Some interfaces (e.g. "Fritz") don't take over EP correctly if you import a corresponding EPD string (move is missing).

Yes, very good.
And a PGN can contain hundreds of games, right?

And can you also filter the EPD so that only the two opponents are visible, or e.g. only the name of the black or the white one? Or just the tournament name?
e.g:
r1bqk1r1/1p1p1p1n2/p1n2pN1/2p1b2Q/2P1Pp2/1PN5/PB4PP/R4RK1 w q - - bm Rxf4; id "ERET 001 - Entlastung";

.
I understand about the epd id. It can be from PGN white, black or event tags.
Something like this.

One more thing:
Under "Append move as", am (avoid move) would be nice!

I can not understand what your mean by that, could you describe the problem more?

Add am.
Add tooltip to "append id from" label.
Hide Analysis frame, position analysis will be implemented late.

I'll send you a PM about that.
