Nice feature:) What happens if a pgn file containing multiple games get imported?

it will paste it in the box but wont allow you to execute options
just like you have anything other then pgn in your clipboard it will paste but wont allow you move forward

Thanks for your contribution. As I said in your other PR, it is nice to post a screen recording in the PR. I like to see what the feature does without having to read the code to try understand it.

@veloce Please find attached the video for the upload button feature

• DEFAULT: using clipboard: allows you to paste anything and everything in clipboard but allows you to proceed only when its a single pgn to board editor/analysis
• for incomplete .pgn files: allows you to paste but wont allow you to proceed to board editor/analysis
• for multiple .pgn files: allows you to paste but wont allow you to proceed to board editor/analysis
• for other files: wont allow you select
• for single .pgn files: allows you to paste and allow you to proceed to board editor/analysis

Looks interesting! 2 questions:

• Do we think it makes sense to display toast if pgn not accepted? (Please make sure you are uploading .pgn for a single game). Or obvious enough as is?
  • Just sparking discussion, no need to adjust pr yet unless others all agree?
• @HaonRekcef you seemed excited and I trust you! Is it decently common to have pgn saved? Figure most times I'd either have them imported into li already or grabbing the text from chesscom. Never encountered them being saved within files but curious if top players do this?

i guess but the feature behaved the same earlier also for the clipboard feature also. i will try to add it in the future PRs.

we had the clipboard feature so i thought i might as well add the upload one. No harm with more features to upload games right?
If you have any more features requests/adjustments, please mention those too

For sure! I wasn't doubting it was curious to hear anecdote of how others find it useful since holz seemed excited about it

PGN is the most common format for saving and sharing games and opening analysis between players. Eventually it would be great if the app could open and create PGN files containing multiple games.

How would you handle a PGN with multiple games? @HaonRekcef

[HaonRekcef]

@veloce
The user should have the ability to select between the different games, similar as it is in studies.

But this is a major feature, I will try to make a big Issue detailing what features would be great in an offline analysis Board v2.
