I have 2 1600x1200 monitors. my simple 8 table layout is like this
1st 2nd
13 57
24 68

so 4 tables on each monitor.

1. If I try to swap table 8 with 3, I drag table 8 and drop it onto table 3, but instead of swapping 8 and 3, 1 and 8 are swapped.

2. if the slot 4 (just an example) is empty, I had very hard time moving table 8 to this slot.

Here is my new ini file:

_dave_ fixed my .ini file. It is posted about 8 - 12 posts above this one. Make sure you correct the typo!

I did not see much difference between my ini file and yours. Maybe I should spend some time on the ahk script. thanks///

Hi billxo1b,

So I just copy/pasted your 8-table layout into my starsplanner, and it seems fine...

When you say you have dificulty drag/dropping the tables - maybe you are unaware it uses the top/left corner of the window to determine which slot to swap with?

I did. I tried hard to put the whole table exactly(almost) on the underlying table.

Don't - a tiny positional error (1 pixel) in this case would cause aiming for slot 3 to actually hit slot 1. try putting the top/left corner of the dragged table in the centre of the target table.

Also, are you using a an XP theme other than "Windows Classic"? Like standard XP "tellytubby" theme? I did my testing of your layout on my standard Win2K style classic theme, maybe problems manifest on a different theme...

Thanks, dave. I will try again tonight when I get home.

this seems to work most times. it would be great if the drag/drop works as long as the top/left corner of the dragged table in the rectangle of the target slot, empty or not.

thanks, dave!

Now that _dave_ fixed my .ini file, that's how it works for me. If the 'slot' is empty, the table moves there. If the 'slot' is not empty, the tables switch positions. Works every time. (before the .ini fix, it worked about 1/2 the time, sometimes tables wouldn't move or they'd switch with the wrong table. It was hard to move then to an empty slot.)

Hi KittyLiquor,

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.

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.

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.

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

dave.

Now thats what I could not quite figure out. I compared your own ini file and Dave's fixed file (below. the left column is dave's ini file, the right column is yours). dave re-arranged the table slots layout and then changed the fill order. everything else remains exactly the same. why would that change the swapping behavior? dave?

dave's:
135
246
fill order=2,4,1,3,5,6

yours:
345
126
fill order=1,2,3,4,5,6

My init file is actually very similar to Dave's:
13 57
24 68
fill order=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Oh, Dave tested my ini file and it seemed working fine on his machine. Maybe just something wrong with my computer

Thanks!

bill,

I just spent a bunch of time trying to figure this out. The more I worked the more confused I got.

So.....

I have no explainations, but try this:
(make your Windows task bar single high, not double high)

_dave_

If the topmost pixel = 0 (as in 1x=0)
then a table that is 576 pixels high
means the bottom row is row 575, right?

Then if table 2 is placed 2x = 577
then there should be a 1 pixel gap, right?????

There ain't!

----------Meow

thanks kitty. I will try 800X576 table size.

I'm having a problem where when I open up stars planner, I can't actually restore it. It just stays on my taskbar. It automatically rebuys for me fine, but I can't turn on or off any of the other functions. Sorry if this problem has been discussed already, I haven't read through the whole thread.

I put in a function to fix this for the few unlucky people it afflicts

Right click on it's tray icon anc choose "Restore GUI position" (I think that's the name, something similar anyway). The GUI should then re-appear top left of primary monitor.

dave.

ahhhhh perfect! thanks

I just downloaded the new version from overcards. It resizes everything and puts them in the correct spot. However, for some reason it resizes the table its self but not whats in the table window so I end up only seeing the top left corner of the table... Any ideas?

If I uncheck auto resize and then maximize, then minimize the table goes to the right size and appears correctly

Example:

I'm having the same problem as ajml.

I have had the same problem also, seems to have happened since the second to last Stars update.

ajml, thejerkface - are you getting this all the time for all tables? For me it happens maybe 1 in 10 table openings...

I just fix it by grabbing the border of the broken table and dragging it a little - Planner then resizes it again and usually does it properly - or I select the table and hammer the F5 key, but that doesn't works so good (because of focus stealing) if I got loads of tables on the go already.

It is annoying me enough that a fix will be up shortly, feedback helpful always

dave.

It doesn't happen with all the tables. I can't say how often exactly, maybe 25% of the time. I use two different layouts on a 2560x1600 resolution screen; 6-table and 9-table. Both have problems with about the same frequency.

It doesn't always open up like that. Sometimes there will be weird lines around the edge of the table. My workaround is to click the maximize button, which brings the screen to the foreground. Then StarsPlanner auto-resizes it (but in a messed up fashion, obscuring some of the table) and I click maximize again.

Dave, your current method of dealing with it sounds better. I'll do that for now.

I do get it 100% of the time. I have some of the tables set up to overlap if that would affect anything.. Dave, if what you said works thats a good enough fix for me, I have been doing what jerkface said and that does get a little annoying. Other than that, sorry I can't give you much feedback. Let me know if you need anything else, I can post my .ini file but it doesnt sound like that has much to do with it. FWIW i've never had this problem in the past, I just updated to the new version and this started.

Any update on this fix? I'm still getting it.

Just a bump since it looks like _dave_'s computer is fixed - although my resizing works now for some reason.

StarsPlanner will get an update in the next couple days (adding Absolute support, massive speedup to the pop-up handling / rebuy windows etc.)

I will try and add something to sort this too... maybe it is a Vista issue? Does double-tap maximize fix it for you thac, like it does for me?

Or can you fix it by mouse-over and pressing f5?

dave.
