| Post subject: | Use of GoGod database |
Hi! I used to have the GoGod database on CD. My use of it has lapsed for a while, but I wanted to come back and downloaded the new database. Problem? As it stands, it is useless to me. Yes there is a folder of folders on my desktop now, with games sorted by year. But the whole point of the product - at least for me - was that I could fix a board pattern and search for all precedents with that pattern. How can I do that now? |

Get a pattern search program such as kombilo. |

I tried your suggestion. I think I managed to install Kombilo. I ran Kombilo. It was possible for me to use the graphical interface to place stones on the displayed goban. I also managed to use the "Open" command under the "File" heading to generate a dialog box. I found the folder containing the games (with some exertion: there seems to be a profusion of folders under Windows to that labelled "Downloads"). I managed to get to the game files though and tried to open one. I got back a dialog box saying "Error in sgf file". I've reproduced this result several times, so it cannot be the matter of there being a problem with one particular .sgf file. |

Rather than opening a single sgf file you should import the whole collection of them as a database for searching against. See https://dl.u-go.net/kombilo/doc/tutorial.html |

The trouble with Kombilo is a hardcoded date limit. You only able to use it with older games for now, until someone updates the installer. I tried to compile Kombilo on Windows, but the task is not for the feint harted and I did not make it. |

I like the user interface for pattern searching of Drago better than Kombilo. Unfortunately, it only works on Windows. |

Perhaps GoWrite is an option too. My favourite Go editor/pattern search software. See: http://gowrite.net/GOWrite2.html Cheers, Vesa |

Thanks, I gave Gowrite a test run. Perhaps it is for me a good alternative to Kombilo for modern games databases. |

So what operating systems do most of you use? I thought that Windows 10 would be supported by something as simple as an sgf editor, but I'm experiencing no success with either Sabaki or Kombilo. |

Windows 10 Sabaki and Kombilo work on Windows 10 (Kombilo with the <2020 bug) While Drago uses the kombilo library it is not affected by the hard coded 2019 limit of the current Kombilo. Drago is a nice option. |
