Now movie.lin files obtained via the "save" button have an empty rs tag and eventhough they work OK as movie files, it is a problem for me.

Here is an example :
vg|Uploaded Deal,,I,7,7,,,,,|rs|,,|pn|x1,x2,x3,x4|pg||qx|o7|md|1S94H63DA3CKQJT873,ST83HAJ54DKTCA942,SKQJ2HKQ87DJ952C6,SA765HT92DQ8764C5|sv|b|pn|x1,x2,x3,x4|
mb|---3Nppp-|pg||pc|HA|pc|H7|pc|HT|pc|H3|pg||
pc|C2|pc|C6|pc|C5|pc|C7|pg||
pc|CK|pc|C4|pc|S2|pc|S5|pg||
pc|CQ|pc|CA|pc|D2|pc|D8|pg||
pc|DK|pc|D5|pc|D4|pc|DA|pg||
pc|CJ|pc|C9|pc|D9|pc|S7|pg||
mc|9|

That seems to be new because I have on my hard disk many older movie.lin's like this one :
vg|Uploaded Deal,,I,3,3,,,,,|rs|5CWxx=,,|pn|x1,x2,x3,x4|pg||qx|o3|md|1S3HJ76432DAQ32CA3,SA2HAQ9D4CQJ96542,SKJT9875HT85D97C7,SQ64HKDKJT865CKT8|sv|e|mb|---1H2C4H5Cdrppp|pn|x1,x2,x3,x4|pg||
pc|H5|pc|HK|pc|H2|pc|H9|pg||
pc|CK|pc|CA|pc|C2|pc|C7|pg||
pc|S3|pc|SA|pc|S5|pc|S4|pg||
mc|11|

I had to wrote some lines of code to rebuild the empty rs tag of those new files from the mb tag, the mc tag when there is one, or from the played cards, but it makes programs longer and weaker, and it would be better if the rs tag were as in older movie.lin's.

.lin files created using the Save button in the Movie
window have always been like this. Not sure how you
created the .lin files with the complete rs tag, but it
wasn't with the Save button.

Agree it would be better if the rs tag info was complete
when .lin files are created this way, but I doubt that I
will make this change any time soon (sorry but too many
other things to do).

I can't remember but I will try several ways and see.

I understand, and later is better than never.

I made some tests and couldn't get another movie.lin with full rs tag.

I got that movie.lin file on 2003, October the 10th. The "vg|Uploaded Deal,," shows me that is origin is the "save" button (maybe an earlier version of BBO software ?).
I think I remember that I didn't choose the "movie.lin" file name : it was saved with that name by the software.
But I can't be affirmative.
