Hi LikeAA,
I am impressed about the changes you made. Great work! With the hotkey I can change back and forth fast between 2x2 or 3x2 table lay out.
I (multi table sng player) tried 888Caption2 for a while now and checked all the functions from your program that are important to me. If I may I have several suggestions starting with the most important ones. Hopefully you have the time and skill to work some of the suggestions out. Just to be clear I like your program very much as it is but it could be even better
1) Starting with the table sorting. You have fixed this as mentioned above and it works much better now, but not perfectly yet. If tournament A starts and tournament B starts a few seconds later they switch back and forth a few times while playing. This happens when tournament A is in a hand and the blinds will go up the next hand but at the tournament B the blinds already went up because the hand finished earlier. When the next hand starts at tournament A the tournaments will switch again in position. This happens a few times within 10 minutes. The visual translucent transitions are costing energy.
Would it be possible that your sort function works the same as 888 tile function? Tournament that is running for the longest is always 1st in line (slot 1). The tournament that is running for the 2nd longest is always 2nd in line (slot 2) etc.. Perhaps you do not even need to sort based on blind level but only on tournament time run. This would work for me but in case this does not work for other players you can add this feature next to the current sorting method. So players can choose which works for him or her.
2) With sng registrator on the lobby cannot minimize to taskbar. You mentioned earlier it needs to be this way because it does update auto or something like that. Do you have a work around for this? I would like the lobby be minimized because even in the edge of my screen it is in the way because I have a table there. Every time sng registrator is registering for a tournament the lobby is showing in the edge because it is brought to the foreground on top of my table. Secondly when I have the lobby in the middle of the screen and I want to check which players registered to a tournament it is not showing right away because the lobby is brought to foreground again and it is blocking the view of the tournament table with the list of registered players. I have to manually select the tournament table on the taskbar to make it pop up to the foreground.
3) When deactivating (by removing the checkmark at active) sng registrator you cannot unregister the tournaments directly through the lobby. However, you can unregister when you open the lobby of the specific tournament and press the unregister button there. Is this a bug?
4) Can you please add at the sections dialogs the following ones:
'Cards will be dealt to you shortly good luck'
'You have been unregistered from tournament x'
I do not want to use the auto accept all messages because I want to see in which position I have ended.
5) When sng registrator is not active I get the message 'You succesfully registered to tournament x' . When sng registrator is active I do not get this message. Is this a bug? I have checked tournament registration in section dialogs. Believe this is only happening when you press the register button at the lobby of the specific tournament.
6) What is 'auto close tournament after x seconds when finished' ? I have this enabled but when I am out a tournament this is not closed after x seconds it remains visible unless I click the x in the upper right corner myself.
7) With 888caption on I am having trouble to see chip amount of a player that is sitting out. When I go over the player name the amount is showing for like 0.1 sec. To fast to read. Can you fix this?
8) I have set space as hotkey. When I am typing in player notes I cannot use space sometimes. Is there a work around for this?
9) Can you prevent messages from showing at all? Message like registration that are now auto pressed are still showing in the screen for a split second. Can you prevent these message from showing at all? Would be great if you could add such a feature.
10) What is attach delay in option? You can set it to x seconds. If it is set on 5 sec does this means when I press active at sng registrator it takes 5 seconds before it will start registering?
11) Noticed you have added the function pop up table when it is my turn. How is this function different from the one at the 888Poker software?
