Issues copying PGN from "Against the computer" games

Sort:

I don't know if this is an issue for anyone else, but whenever I try to copy the PGN using Ctrl+C, the PGN doesn't actually get copied.

I've tried on Red Hat Linux using Firefox, and Vista using Chrome.

EDIT: Same problem on Vista using Firefox.

Same problem. I posted this same problem a few days ago and was told by one staff member that another staff member has been made aware of it. I'm not sure how long it will take to get fixed, since it might need to get passed on to 10 more staff members before they find the computer genius down in the basement somewhere buried in geeky stuff.

I'm very surprised that no one else has complained before. I love playing against the computer, and would very much like a copy of my games.  It's been broken as long as I can remember trying to use it...weeks...months...years...

I finally got around to making a complaint. Laughing

Rest assured. It's not your computer, OS or browser.

Well, in my case, when I try to paste things into a plain text editor, I can tell that *none* of it got copied. Is that the same issue you had?

In the linked topic, I was able to copy the text out of the TT play against the computer option, without issue. The thing was the resulting test wasn't a full PGN file so it wouldn't actually import into the PGN program I was using (SCID); which makes sense since it wasn't a full PGN. Haven't tried it against a full game played that way.

Just did a quickie game. Copy/paste worked fine. SCID (my PGN viewer/editor) pasted from the clipboard without issue, though it wouldn't import the text due to a "End of input reached in game". I added the result at the end (0-1) and it then imported without issue.

I solved the issue of End of Input Reached in Game.  You ctrl+c, go into skid's pgn input.  Clear everything first.  Paste your game.  It'll mess up if it's in 1 line format.  After you paste, attempt input (and receive the error).  If the error comes up, clear, and then alt+p and it'll post it in the right format.  Then try inporting again, it should work.
