Ability to change experience file name

That's great, Marco, thanks a lot.
Merge will work with different names now too, I guess? No more SugaR0.exp necessary anymore? Which one of different names of merged files will give name to the finished one?

You must use numerical progression only if the files have the same name.

Thought so, Marco, but if not, which one of the merged files will give name to resulting one? In Eman Experience Tools you have to choose, in SugaR Experience Tools not. Will sequence of selection decide the name of the finished merged file or size of original files maybe?

The first in the list selected with the "ADD" button is always the one used for updating
Then you can decide which file the information should be added to

Hi Marco!
Didn't try until recently to save and reload HashFile with AI ICCF.
There's still the bug of old SugaR NN- versions with that feature:

No more than 2048Mb hash can be saved and reloaded with useful entries. Up to 2G everything works fine, from 4096 upwards only the data- amount is shown in Win Explorer, but lines and evals are lost after reload.

Hi peterm
I did a little check for you ..
I created a 21GB hash file in 53 seconds
and after closing the GUI I reloaded the 21gb hash created earlier in 1 minute and 14 seconds
Create file Hash 21gb


Load 21gb file Hash

[peterm]

I did a little check for you ..

I know that it does seem to work, Marco, as for amount of data to be seen in Explorer.
But give it a try with any best move position not too easy to solve, and you'll see, that any tricky line and eval, found and kept in hash (start-stop pondering to see if hash is already useful as for solution) will be there at once again with restart of GUI and reload of hash file up to 2G, but not at all with 4096Mb or more.

Let's be satisfied with what it offers ..
and an old codex by D. José that I have adapted.
i know he had solved the limit of saving 2gb
and that what we have is the best optimization he could achieve.
Certainly the Jeremy Bernstein code (Stockfish 4 PA_GTB) and another planet.
but unfortunately it is really too old to adapt.

Thanks for confirming the old bug.
Yet 2G hash at modern hardware is even less in relation to what it was some years ago, isn't it?
BTW you'll probably too know, it does work with asmFish as long as for Andscacs without limit, don't you?
With "revival" of asmFish, "DeepFish" it still does:

Just in case it helped even if it's assembler regards
