Hi KittyLiquor,

If I open up PokerStars, then open PokerTracker, then start StarPlanner...StarPlanner doesn't move PS to the correct 'slot' and sometimes moves the PS lobby 'slot' to the default PS position (center of screen 1). If I open up PS, then StarsPlanner, it works perfectly. Then I can open up everything else and it works fine.

Strange behaviour indeed, I probably have something checks/commands in the wrong order somewhere in the lobby moving function, will check it out trying to open things in different orders.

Does StarsPlanner depend on PS lobby being the active window when it opens?


[/ QUOTE ]
No. In fact, I always follow the same routine - after a reboot, PT - set the timer going, minimize to tray. Then open all scripts, then Stars. Mostly I just close Stars and hibernate/standby the poker computer, so reboots are rare - but I am often opening/closing Stars. Planner stays running all the time for me.

And why does StarsPlanner change my .ini file without me specifically trying to change my layout?


[/ QUOTE ]
It should change the ini file whenever it is closed - it records the layout you have selected, position of itself/lobby on screen, and the state of the checkboxes so it can open up next time in the same state.

It shouldn't ever change the [layouts] section unless you press one of the capture/configure/delete layout buttons, then it will rewrite the inifile to reflect changes.

Also, sometimes when I rebuy chips it 'hangs' on the 'how many chips' screen.

You can see the HMC screen being made active, then the PS lobby being made active, and back and forth very quickly.

It is almost like StarsPlanner...

looks for the HMC window
finds it
then StarsPlanner interrupts itself
looks for the lobby
finds it
then looks for the HMC window again
rinse and repeat over and over.

If I point to the 'OK' button in the HMC window and click very, very quickly, over and over I can get it to go away, but the lobby is taking focus so quickly I have to do it over and over again. (Takes me about 10 to 15 mouse clicks, all within 1/2 second)

I consider this one a major PITA - it has been this way since Stars update changed the dialogs to "no visible text".

Thank you for the detailed report - I hadn't noticed it activating the lobby (mostly I am mashing the mouse so I don't time out) - and I think that this info will lead to a fix [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
