The Game Explorer enables you to explore and manipulate the games within a database. You can see the database name and how many games the current view shows out of the total database size.

It displays the games in the current filter of the database in the list below. Each game can be selected to view or selected to perform an operation on:


You can tick games to put them in a selection and then you can then:

  • Select all games in the game list - you can then perform operations on all the games, for example copy
  • Clear the selection - removes all ticked games
  • Set filter to selection will set the current filter to the ticked games
  • Remove selected game from the filter - this will remove all ticked games from the current filter
  • Mark current game for deletion - the current game is marked for deletion, the game are greyed with a line through them but they are not deleted until you choose Clean up database in the Manage database dialog
  • Mark 2 games for deletion - all the ticked games (in this case 2) will be marked for deletion. The games are greyed with a line through them but they not deleted until you delete from the Manage database dialog
  • Copy 2 games to clipboard - all ticked games are copied to the clipboard, you may want to paste them into a different database for example
  • Edit common tags for selected games - all the common non player tags are listed in the Edit common tags dialog and you can edit them for all the games in the ticked selection.
