Hello,
Is it possible to delete a game from a database using En Croissant ? How do I do it ?
Thank you

It'll be possible in the next release
I use an text editor or other chess gui's to delete the games I don't want in the pgn and then I use en-croissant to convert the pgn into a database bin file.

To locate your bin file in windows run %AppData%\org.encroissant.app\db
You name your opening repertoire pgn file whatever you want. @nholdener
Actually it already has a file name if you downloaded your games.
lichess.org/@/nholdener/download

1. Convert that downloaded pgn into a database;
2. Start by the database icon on the left of the screen;
3. Press "Add new +";
4. Select "Local";
5. Click on the blank space under "pgn file";
6. Select your file;
7. Fill in the rest of the blanks; Example:
Title: Lichess "User name" 2024 02 29
Description: Your blitz games
8. Press convert;
9. Select the star or select Reference Database;
10. Select the pawn icon on the left of the screen;
11. Pick "Analysis Board" and press "Open".
12. You should see your local opening repertoire.
Could anyone help me?
I have downloaded but when I click on it to open, it doesn't open.

First: thank you for a wonderful tool. I have been looking for a free, easy to use, database program for students and this fits the bill perfectly.

I'm noticing a few bugs: specifically with creating files and using the lichess masters database. Perhaps these are known, I haven't read all the documentation and forum topics, but wanted to bring them to your attention to help continue bolstering this awesome tool you've created.

Creating files only works sometimes for me. I haven't been able to recreate the bug consistently. They don't save properly and although I can see the files on my hard drive, they don't appear in en croissant and their file names are taken. Other times, creating files works as intended and there are no problems.

For some reason the lichess masters database returns an error for me. Other databases are working fine.

Thanks again for your hard work and for putting this out there - it's really great!
