Use the Easy-Scout XP Analyzer Import/EXPORT Games utility to move individual game files between computers, or from Easy-Scout XP to Easy-Scout XP Analyzer and vice versa. In most cases, this task will not be performed in Analyzer, but rather in Easy-Scout XP itself if both are installed on the same computer. This is because when both programs are installed on the same computer the Analyzer game data will be overwritten by the data from Easy-Scout XP each time Analyzer is started. If you do want to use this feature, it is important to first UNCHECK the Use Easy-Scout XP data setting.
Click here for the Easy-Import Video Tutorial The Import and Export Game function, performed on the screen below , provides a means for saving and retrieving individual game data. It is important to understand the difference between Import and Export, Backup and Restore and the "Use Easy-Scout Data" setting. The latter two functions copy any and all game data files to and from Analyzer, where Import and Export creates and reads an individual file that contains just the plays from a single game.
Import Use the upper portion of this screen to import individual game information. To import a game you must first locate a previously exported game. To do this, use the ellipses (…) button. The file will have the same name as the game with a .dbf file extension. (I.E. MYGAME.DBF) After you have located your game, press the import button. If the game you have chosen is not in your current data set, the program will automatically import your game data. However, if your chosen game is already in your current data set, the program will prompt you to "Overwrite" or "Rename". If you choose "Overwrite", any pre-existing plays will be overwritten with the ones from your chosen game. If you choose "Rename", you will be prompted to input a new and unique game name to save the plays to. Export Use the lower portion of this screen to export game information. The export feature is very similar to the import feature described above; however, you are able to select multiple games for export via the "mover" object. To use the "Mover" , select desired games from the Available list on the left and move them to the Selected Games list on the right. You can move games between these two lists by double-clicking on a game name, by selecting games and using the buttons located between the two lists or by "dragging and dropping" from one list to another. The ellipses (…) button is used to locate the folder where the exported files are to be placed. Both the import and export uses a default directory or folder of: "[program directory]/data/export/games"
