 Subject: PGN vs Annotate[Cabbage, Kings & Importing Things]
Message:
I think that it is probably designed to be this way, so that would make this a Tip rather than a Bug. But I have noticed that many times my PGN import into the Annotate Games section will get hung up and truncate the game at O-O, and usually say something like
'White made 2 moves in a row" (or black).
I've found this to be the most common cause: That the PGN score must be using two capital letter "O" s to make O-O. Not small letters, like o-o nor the number zero, 0-0. For when I have gone in and changed them to capital "O" then re-import it all, it will work. Or just fix it after you paste and right before Import. The former assumes you didn't see it first.
It may not even be your fault that it is not using CAP O already, as I have gotten some things copied to import before that their original source used one of the other symbols. I wonder if that means their PGN there is set to accept that symbol, or any of the three? Or if that can even be done?
Anyway, one other cause of such a message that I have found to be common, and may be any move, not just O-O ... is that the same thing will happen if you or the PGN source you copied from has put an extra blank space after the move, besides the usual. So you just remove it. If it is stubborn, I will just erase everything from the prior move to the one that follows it, and retype the entire move#, move, and whatever spaces or dot, to be as it should be.
Anyone anyone else with any PGN or Importing or Annotating issues?

For those confused, so long as my memory is what I want it to be:
"The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things.
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax,
Of cabbages and kings.
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings."
I believe, perhaps wrongly, that many (maybe only some?) PGN viewers only recognize the capital letter O for castling. We can write whatever we want by hand, but the computerized world has standards!
