Hi.
I have just made my first bookup by importing a ChessBase generated PGN file
containing lots of games of an opening of interest. Of course the Bookup
book files are quite big. I started to delete unimportant continuations and
have already cut off quite a lot of them. Surprisingly the Bookup book files
do not seem to be smaller in size. I guess I should rebuild the book somehow
or export to text and then import in order to rebiuld the binary database
files, but I do not know how. Can you please give me a hand with this.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Happy Easter by the way :)
Ricardo

You can trim the amount of moves when you first import the pgn file,
to the first 10 of 20 moves...

perhaps just delete the book and start over with a fresh import...

That's what I have been advised to do on Bookup Support Forum. Tried the
method and it seems OK.

Hey Ric,
If you have the Professional version you can open a new ebook and import
(not "Add") the pruned ebook to get a condensed version without the lines
you pruned from the tree. For more on that, check the Bookup Help file for
purge/prune.

Thank you so much for your kind help, Mike. Sorry to have troubled you
during your summer vacations :) Just as you suggested the guys of the Bookup
Support Forum were more than quick and redy to give me a hand. They did
vastly clarify the issue for me. I have tried different ways of solving the
problem and have no reason to grumble now actually. However I have come to a
big decision to build my ebook from scratch. Hope it will be a nice
long-term investment of my time and energy.
Thank you once again. Kindest regards,
Ric
