PokerTracker: The Next Generation (NEW SOFTWARE DISCUSSION)

[CudjoeBill]

I thought of something this evening. I'd like to be able to optionally right-align the stats in the hud.

you will be able to view your old data in PT3

This is the key point that I didn't understand from your previous posts.

That resolves my concern.

Thanks!

What about if PT3 could import all your existing hands overnight while you sleep?

If it would do this by extracting them from the existing PT2 hhdb's this would be super!

Doing it from histories exported from PT2 would be acceptable, although I'm not sure how fast PT2 can do the exports, as I've never exported a large number of hands. Doing it from archived copies of the original HH files creates possible problems in reconciling any missing/error hands in the originals that were not resolved and saved with the originals.

The plan is to have the conversion between PT2 and PT3 be as painless and simple as possible. Basically, you launch PT3 for the first time, it searches for PT2 databases, asks you if you want to convert them, then goes to town. You let it run for a few hours (if you have large databases), then come back to a complete PT3 database.

The only downfall is if you have observed hands without the hand histories, these won't be accessible to PT3. PT2 simply does not store enough information to reproduce the data PT3 will need.

I don't like to keep the HH when I datamine, but I can see that I will have to keep them for the next few months so that I have a decent DB for PT3. PT at the moment only allows you to import observed hands and then dump the HH at the time of loading through Auto Import- when importing from a folder of hands using "import HH's" there is no option not to keep the HH if it is observed- are we going to be able to get rid of the observed HH's that we accumulate over the next few months after retrieving the stats during the conversion process? I don't see how under the current system- don't really want to have to keep the observed HH's I accumulate between now and the release- that seems less appetising than having to start from scratch with my computer size. You need a feature that purges stored observed HH's but keeps all statistical information if that's what the user wants during the switch.

As I stated previously, you will be able to view your old PT2 data in PT3; however, those databases will be read only and can not be merged with new databases. The only reason you would need to keep your old observed hand histories is if you want the new stats to be available for them which isn't a necessity...

I would be more inclined to rebuild new databases from the observed HH's I gather over the next few months with the new fast importing speed etc, just can't see how I'll get rid of the HH's for observed hands if I go that way based on how importing from folders works at the moment- that's more what I meant.

[APerfect10]

I understand now...we'll see what we can do.

[El helado Patata]

I dont know if these suggestions have been made but ill hope not.

1:
Ability to separate NL and FL hands. Could be an option also for people that wish to keep everything together. A suggestoins might be to include 3 buttons in the main menu (where all the auto-import stuff is)
"Separate NL/FL" on/off
NL-db (shows only nl-db
FL-db (obviously show only nl-db)
You could also extend this into shorthanded/fullring/headsup.

The second suggestion is that you can create multiple aliases and choose which aliases to use AND you use an alias more then once. I for example want to separate my nicks per network but it would also be nice if I also could have a summary-nick and do not have to attatch all my aliases and remove them again.

It would be great.

My english is bad but i'll try to explain my wishes.

* let us choose the path of card images [x]enter the URL
* do not hard code the BBcode for colors

[Vinny80]

I havent read the whole thread, only the few first pages so I don't know if this has been mentionned yet, but I'd like to have a filter that lets me selects hands based on when they occured in a specific session.

Example: First 10% of hands played
Last 10 hands played
etc...
