For creating a tournament BSG has a complicated popup dialog - a window (menu -> File -> New Tournament). I got difficulty to improve it, make it be simpler since users want to control so many aspects of the tournament. Thus we have dilemmas here: 1) it looks complicated but if we are hard to cut down its functions 2) It is not a good idea to create another similar dialog just for another player type (network players) since users have to learn to use more thing.

Thanks

If they are tournament games, they will be saved into the game log as usual. If they are normal games, you may untick to checkbox "auto close" thus they are still shown after their games are over and you can save them manually.

Note that when you create a tournament on a computer, it is considered as the "active" one and its games will be saved as tournament games as I have mentioned above. However, other computers which are involved in that tournament are considered as the passive ones and their games are treated as "normal" games in those computers (won't be saved automatically).

If I go to tools and select this pgn book banksia crashes. Than each time I launch Banksia and go to tools > opening, Banksia crashes. I had to go to appdata, roaming and remove the folder BanksiaGUI, in order to not make Banksia crash anymore. If I go to tools > opening and I choose a bin book it works fine.

I also have a question. I have a database of 780000 games, where one of the players have a rating of 2500 or higher. All from high quality games from mega database and corr database. How long will it take to convert such a big database from pgn to banksa format? To be able to use it for the book making functions in Banksa.
I can let it run overnight but I want to know if it makes sense.
