CLIFF NOTES:
1) If some performance testing and improvements could be made in the "activate current table under mouse" or "activate next table" areas at the code side, it would enhance the user experience A LOT for me!
2) It seemed to me that the option "Also (if above is checked) auto-activate the table under mouse" (which is the last child option under the third strategy to activate next table from stack and move mouse to home - which I have both selected) is broken or doesn't do anything on my comp.
3) A new option to "auto-click ok in get chips window only if you manually clicked the get chips PSC shortkey" would be perfect for me, but if it's not helpful for others I can live without it and click the OK manually.
4) A new option to "do not move the get chips window upward ~150px" would take away the wasted 1-3 seconds (because the moving is not instantaneous) and the missclicks that happen when I try to hit the buttons in their original location
.

b) It took 0,5 - 2 seconds to activate a table !!! (both when having the option to auto-activate next from stack and the other way to only activate the table under mouse). Quite often I was already on top of a table and knowing that I need to click raise but had to wait till the table activates and set's the bet amounts etc. When having the auto-activate next table option selected, then sometimes I see 3 tables that need action (they have buttons, but no red box around them) and I know what I need to do on most of them but I have to sit and wait to find out which one gets activated and then deal with this table.
This kinda occurred with FTSC also. After playing FTSC for a while, I found that I now instinctively left mouse click on the table I want (dead space on table...no HUD or action buttons please . Then the table activates and my mouse would jump home (see above post of mine for MY recommended mouse home positions).
While it seems to take forever if you wait....I got used to the extra click and merrily go on my way.
But how would you know which table is going to be the next one to be auto-activated from the stack
and what's the point to have "auto-activate next from stack" option if you are picking the next table manually every time anyway? If like 4 out of my 8 tables have action buttons visible, then I just have to wait 2 seconds to see which table get's activated.
Anyway, If some performance testing and improvements could be made in the "activate next table" and "activate current table under mouse" areas at the code side, it would enhance the user experience A LOT for me!

2) When I had "Auto-activate the next table with pending action" selected AND had "Additionally, move mouse to it's home position" selected, then the third child option "Also (if above is checked) auto-activate the table under mouse" did NOT have any effect for me, at least I didn't understand it.

My setup for Table1 page is as follows.
...
You are not using the last child-option "Also (if above is checked) auto-activate the table under mouse". But my comment was only about this last child-option - it seems like this option is broken for me. I would like to use that because by the description it seems to be exactly what I need.

3) The "get chips" dialog stuff didn't suit me. Currently there seem to be two options that affect that.
a) "Auto-click OK on get chips dialog screen" - it always or never auto-clicks the OK in get chips window.
b) "Get more chips" shortkey to open the get chips window.
Please make a new extra option to (c) "auto-click OK in get chips dialog WHEN you manually opened the get chips window". As I'm not familiar with the internals of your app then I don't know if it's easy to detect when I clicked the get more chips button manually, but it should be very easy to detect when the get more chips window is opened through this shortkey combination (b).
I don't want to auto-click OK the initial buy-in window but I want to auto-click OK when I'm already seated and I'm just getting more chips. I would UNCHECK option (a), have a shortkey for (b), CHECK (c) and have the option "Click on YES in Seat Available dialog" CHECKED. So now when I get a new seat from waiting list, it will get auto-opened (but not buy-ed in) and I would do a visual scan do see if I'm satisfied with my seat position and click OK to buy in or Cancel to leave the seat. If I would have option (a) CHECKED then it would insta-buyin me and I could be in BB before I can notice that I have a bad seat and I would like to abandon the table. Then later when I'm already seated in DEEP tables, my buy-in settings get me to 100bb, but quite often I wan't to top up to 200bb so I would click my shortkey for (b) and get auto-top-off to 200bb. Currently, without option (c) I will have to wait for PSC to move the get chips window ~150px upward and only then I can manually click OK <-- waisted seconds .
I'll get back to you with this one....for Stars as I don't play Stars very much at all.
On FTP, you use the Full Tilt Software to do most of the work now. Option>Set Buy-in preferences will set up initial buy-in plus it has a top off option
Sometime, like if I am testing the waters on a higher stake table, I like to buy in for 40-60BB until I get comfortable. I will do this also when I see a fish I want to play against, but the rest of the table is shark infested. So once on the waiting list, if I get seated badly vs. the fish, my small 40BB is al that is at risk as I make table assessments. If I am lucky enough to get seated nicely vs. the fish, THIS is when PSC (and FTSC) come in handy as all I have to do is hit Get Chips and I am 100BB fully loaded in seconds.
But I will have to look at Stars to see if they operate the same way.
I play FTP only. I play deep tables a lot, my initial is 100bb, 50% of times I want top it up to 200bb and then when stack get's shorter, top it up again. Current available options don't allow me to seat select without buying in and also be able to quickly top up to 200bb without having to manually click ok (which is worsened by the point (4) below). A new option to "auto-click ok in get chips window only if you manually clicked the get chips PSC shortkey" would solve this for me. Whitout that I will leave the "auto-click OK" to off and keep manually pressing it and it would be no problem if I could turn off point (4) below.

4) Why is the get chips dialog moved ~150px upward when it appears? Because it's slow for me (takes like 0,5-1 seconds) then quite often I find myself hitting the original OK button location to only find out that it did not work and the OK button jumps up and I have to click it again. Please allow us to disable this auto-moving of get chips dialog.
You shouldn't have to do any secondardy clicking as long as you have checkboxed most of the Dialogs page. Yes it takes between 1-3 seconds for this to happen...but it's automatic.....so what's the big deal?
That's the point, I cant/don't want to use the current "auto-click ok in get chips" option because that would always buy me in when coming from waiting list and it will take me 5-45 seconds to go through other pending tables first before I get to check out this new table to see if I'm in a good seat and if my "friend" is still there. By that time I could already be in the BB and if I then notice that the table is poor and I want to leave (or jump back into the waiting list) then I have to play 6 hands on the table before getting seated out on next BB, waisting time, screen space and effort that could already go into a new better table.
A very small option to "do not move the get chips window upward ~150px" would solve the issues (3) and (4).
