PlaceMint is a tool that will allow you to arrange windows into defined slots based on window title. Slots are configurable by the user to ensure the windows are position to each users specific needs. There is also the ability to drag and drop a window over to a different slot and have the windows swap slots. (If you used the program Poker Aide in the past, you will be able to use PlaceMint with ease.)


Download the program from the project page on SourceForge.

This release is the first public beta. I can answer some questions in this thread, however if you can report things in the project forums and bug tracker it will mean I am less likely to miss an issue. If you need some help setting up the program, there is documentation in the wiki section.

I hope you all enjoy the program and find it helpful.

Looks good, downloading now!

Wow, very nice IrishThug, will definitely be using. A suggestion if I may that I had a go at once before- join a hotkey to a 'host slot' and then the hotkey when pressed makes the window that the mouse is under switch places with the window in the host slot.

any chance you will be posting the source code?

You mean like http://placemint.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/placemint/ ?

█████ is right, I specifically made it a project on sourceforge so that if i disappear somewhere (like with PokerAide), the program can still exist if someone else picks up the development. At some point might consider making a source zip file, but right now my focus is on fixing bugs (and maybe adding features) that come in. As of right now, I haven't changed anything in the trunk, so the download can be built off the trunks head. When I start changing things, you want the source used in the v.02 beta, you can grab revision 140 with a subversion client.

HighSteaks,
Can you clarify exactly what you are requesting? Are you thinking something like slots 1-10 are assigned hotkeys 0-9, and pressing the number would send the window under the mouse to the specified slot? Would you want this to only work with windows that are already assigned to a slot or be a way to switch an unassigned window with the window assigned to the host slot? The only issues I see with something like this is if you have more than one group, you would need a way to differentiate between hotkeys for group 1 and 2. I could see this being worked around by making the hotkeys user defined and it would be your responsibility to make sure there is no overlap. You also might have to get creative with your hotkeys if you have more than 10 slots per group.

I would only use two keys in my case and I 8 table. I set up Placemint like below(24 inch monitor). So what I do is use the 6 smaller windows to fold and when I get in a hand I drag the table to one of the two large slots replacing what was there. So I would want one key for A and one for B to exchange any of the 6 smaller tables by placing the mouse over it and hitting the hotkey.

Ok, I see what you are trying to do. I'll look into seeing how I could make that work and let you know when I have something.

v0.3 is now available for download via the PlaceMint project page.

This new release has the feature HighSteaks suggested, being able to swap windows based on a hotkey and the mouse location.

If you are using the supplied Slot Template or Regex list files and have made changes to them: The release has these files in their original form, so be careful not to overwrite your changes.

I hope that silence in this thread means that no one is finding bugs and is happy with the program.

Wooow, incredible. I've always used Xanderz table rotation script to play SNG's on FTP but it's no good for a HUD with all those tables flying all over the place- a HUD will handle only two tables moving around pretty easily. Will try tonight and give TR, thanks bro

Please do, and provide instructions as to how to use this, cuz I got no clue. Do you use any other scripts such as stars planner??

I keep getting a message:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

But if I can get this to work, I'll be extremely psyched as it may save me about $2,000 by not getting a new computer w/30" monitor. Then again, even if I get the 30" and everything, I'll still use this program if I can get it to work.

Nice avatar.

This is #%$^ incredible. Got it humming nicely. Nope, no other script needed, it does everything. Setting up takes patience, not because it's not well done, on the contrary, it's just a pretty comprehensive programme and takes a moment to get to know. Load the 'regexeg list_poker' at first- put the path to that in the second edit box under-tools options. That is a list of words that your site has on it's windows. Design your plan on paper, then decide how many different size windows you will need, make a template for each size, or alternatively do one and then clone it as you go along.

Start by giving it a title- like stars sng's or whatever and open the dropdown 'regular expression' and select your category, then go into slots. So if you look at that design I did above as an example, I use two hotkeys. Read the discussion we had and you will work out why that plan uses two. First go, tick 'show' when you make a new window- it makes it easier, Lay out your windows. They are resizeable like poker tables. Once you like your plan, pick your 'major' or larger windows, put the cursor in the hotkey box for one of them and hit which key you want that window to use- the same for your other major window/s. Hit 'save as' and give that plan a name. Then hit file-load and pick the layout- you might need to restart for it to catch. You'll get the hang of it- as you do you can put your lobbies, holdem manager and everything else into your design.

If you're looking for ideas I've been using it like this (dragging) so I've added my hotkeys like above. I've got those for a 24 inch if anyone wants them. You could easily make the side colums four each side on the 8 table layout and 10 table like that, fits nicely, I just can't play that many .
