To track firefox, you can just make a custom regular expression that is ''firefox'' You can put more effort into getting a more specifc regular expression, but that should be fine.

You are going to have to try again to explain your stack-hotkey scenario. I'm not quite sure what you were trying to say.

Any got a idea of the reg exp needed for ipoker tables?

I don't have iPoker, so I can't see what the window titles look like. But like I said with the firefox question, if your not good with regular expression, just try to find a word or string of words that will always be present in an iPoker window.

If people have taken the time to make specific regular expressions for sites that aren't currently in the downloadable list, please share them to help the people who can't make them themselves.

In BetPot, I use the text to identify an iPoker table.

FYI - Pretty soon I am gonna try to learn to use this, and be asking a million dumb questions.

Hi,

Today I had some time to test this app a little bit. I must say I love the window swapping by hotkey. It does exactly what I want. When a new window is open it places it in a slot automaticaly. From there on I can just use hotkeys and have disabled the dragging and dropping, perfect. A big thank you to you, sir!

However I have also found some bugs. I configured some slots for my pokertables, ofcourse all with a hotkey. When I later went back to the Configure window to add some more slots, I found that for a lot of slots the hotkey showing "None" while I had given them a hotkey (randomly, sometimes all of them, sometimes a just a few). If I just closed the Configuration window there was no problem because the hotkeys just kept on working. I guess there just not showing in the Configure window and when saved ofcourse the hotkeys don't work anymore.

Secondly, when cloning a slot that has a hotkey set, the new slot gets the same hotkey as the old one. I think the new slot should have the hotkey set to "None" in order to prefent double hotkeys.

Also concerning cloned slots. Sometimes when I cloned a slot (that has the show option enabled) and I use the show option on the new slot in order to move it (using the x,y boxes in the shown window), when I uncheck the the show option again it hides the original slot window (the one that has been cloned, the wrong one). If however I edit the position of the new slot in the Configure window while it is showing and then uncheck the show option it works properly. This is not a big problem at all, just a little strange.

So far for the bugs, I also have some sugestions/requests, if you don't mind. It would be cool if along with the normal cloning we could clone a slot to the left, right, top or bottom of the original slot. For instance If I have a slot at location 0,0 size 10x10, and I clone it to the right, the cloned slot would be size 10x10 ofcourse and the location would be 10,0. It seams that there would be plenty of room for those buttons in the window that we get when enabling show for a slot. Either that or you could make the current clone button in to a dropdown menu (or idealy both ofcourse). This way it will be very eazy and quick to create slot layouts. Along those lines it would also be nice when a slot that has show enabled gets cloned the new slot also gets show enabled.

Finaly, the request I would like to see the most: When using hotkeys instead of swapping the window that is in the slot the mouse is over, swapping the active window. Ofcourse the app would have to check if the active window is in a slot currently. Otherwise it might create some problems if I have five windows and only four slots. I think this is much more natural and this way I could use the keyboard via pokerpad to activate the window I want to move and thereby avoid using the mouse all togetter right now it works ok for me, but with this change it would be perfect

Anyway I love PlaceMint (and The Opener as well). Thanks a lot.

Fozzy,
As long as you give me a little info about what you are trying to do and don't just say, "It doesn't work" it won't be a stupid question.

EazyDoesIt,
Noted. I'll look into the bugs you mentioned and consider the feature requests.

Uploaded a patch for v0.4 that can be downloaded from the project page.

v0.4.1 fixes the disappearing hotkeys when opening the configuration window. Cloning a slot will no longer copy the hotkey, as this was putting the configuration in an invalid state without the user knowing it. Also, the last window location was wrong if PlaceMint had been minimized when closed.
I also added the movement buttons EasyDoesIt mentioned to the sample slot window. Also the tray and icon will now change to red whenever PlaceMint is paused.

I have a weird bug with PlaceMint, for some reason now everytime I start the app, it appears minimized and in the tray. However, I can't get it to "restore". it simply appears that it is still minimized. Is there a config file I can alter to change the default window sizing to get back to the "normal" placemint window.

This was likely caused by the bug I just fixed about closing PlaceMint when it was minimized. You can either move the window back on the screen by:Or by editing the PlaceMint_settings.config and changing the X and Y values for WindowRect.

Hi TheIrishThug

Thanks for providing what looks to be a very useful tool. I just downloaded placemint to see if it would help me resize my tables whilst multitabling. So far I'm pretty sure I have it set up pretty much right with 6 tables snapping into their positions and sizes (6 slots cloned and layed out). However I'm not sure whether it will work in the way I will be using it day to day.

Generally I open up multiple tables on FTP (more than the 4-6 I play on) and join waiting lists while having them datamine in the background. Once I have done this I will be seated at 4-6 tables and this is when I'd like Placemint to resize the tables I am seated at whilst keeping the other tables that I am on waiting list for datamining whilst minimised. From there I once I am accepted on a new table if it looks better than a current table I'm on I would like to minimise the current table and put this new table into my layout. This is where I get stuck. How do I get any tables that aren't listed in my 6 slots in to replace my now minimised table?

So I guess what I need to find out is how do you switch between say 12 tables with 6 slots enabled in Placemint? if there is a better way to go about what I'm trying to do please let me know

Thanks in advance

Do the tables that you are not on yet have a decent distinguishing feature? That way you might be able to make a queue type setup with some slots for those using Regular Expressions or something.

HighStakes is on the right track. If the title of the window changes based on if you are sitting down, you can make two groups (one for active tables and one for non-active).

The other option is what I do. I have my first 4 slots setup where I'll be keeping my 4 active tables. Then I make another slot until I hit the max number the site allows. So on Full Tilt I have 4 tables on one monitor and 14 tables semi-organized on the second monitor. This way I can minimize them as I want. But if I decide I want to leave an active table and sit at one of the minimized tables, it's just a matter of swapping the slots.

If you have two groups with the same regular expression, there is no way to swap a table between groups. Also, if PlaceMint is already running and there is an open slot in each of these two groups, it's a gamble on which group a new window will join. It depends on where the program is in the loop when the window is found.

thanks for the help thug ill try and be more specific. Take for example a 3 table "stack", when a table pops up in the middle (B) it messes the entire "stack" up. If you could hit a hot key and have it restack (A) then this would be a huge help. click on image to enlarge im a pic noob also

r0eKY,
Sounds like this can be accomplished when I get to active window hotkeys vs mouse position hotkeys. The window in slot 2 activates (B). So you hit the hotkey for slot 1. This would move the active window to slot 1, bringing you into (A).

Unless someone finds some bugs in v0.4.1, active window hotkeys will be the next thing I add. Which, from what I can remember, will bring me to the end of the feature requests and a stable product.
