This New database dialog is accessed from the File->New... menu item. It enables you to create a new PGN database. Enter the file name of the database you wish to create and click Save. You can also browse to another folder if you wish to create a PGN database in a different folder.


Please note the enhancement from v1.7 is to allow a new database tab to be created without asking for the database to be named. The new database filename is required when:

  1. You save game(s) to that database
  2. You exit the new database tab with game(s) or a partial game added
  3. You exit the program with the new database tab open with game(s) or a partial game added


The reason for this change is to make it easier/quicker to create a new database tab to enter a position or game. Often that position or game might not be saved so this enhancement makes that a much quicker operation. It is also often easier to know what name to use for the new database once its contents is known.
