Public match archive (Backgammon Studio)

Hi!

I needed a way to quickly import all matches for an entire year so I made it possible to keep the xg files on the server for later imports. This turned out to work really well so I made it possible to have a public/private match archive of original xg matches (usually they are discarded when importing a match to the database).

I also think this is more reliable than having a link to a dropbox file which sometimes goes away.

Unfortunately I am running out of diskspace on the free server so I can't have everything present there.

I also renamed match files so that they contain some useful information which often is missing. The naming convention that MishyPoo has adopted is perfect! "Player1 (PR) - Player2 (PR) Tournament Date" allows for it to be machine readable which is sweet. You could call an xg file for "match1.xg" and then leave it at that but that creates a problem later when you want to organize your matches.

Sticking to one name for a tournament is also nice as it makes is easier to sort matches by tournament. Earlier I imported all matches from one tournament and ended up with:

as I had forgotten to enter a tournament name override.

I have also added a few more tags since last time:

I have also added a possibility to copy the XGID from a position but I haven't tested it much yet.

I have also added support for comments from XG files:

but I see it doesn't work on the free server yet. I'll fix it later as I have to run off and play some backgammon now! :-)
