I will look into adding this for the next version

Yes of course. Look in the firewall section of Kaspersky. You should be able to exclude or whitelist only the StackAndTile.exe. Try giving it permissions to allow it to connect to the internet.

If you are making your decision with your mouse to click on the buttons, then by default, SaT will only send the table back to the stack when you click Fold. If you want to return the table back to the stack when you also click Call or Bet, go to Advanced Options and check this box: Clicking 'Call' or 'Bet' also stacks table

If you use SaT hotkeys to make your actions, you'd want to use the "Fold+Stack", "Call+Stack" or "Bet+Stack" variations.

As far as I know, this functionality is built into Windows itself. As soon as a new window spawns, it activates and takes focus. I'm not aware of any way or any program which can supress this behavior

Heh I don't even know if SaT has been available for 5 years. I forget. But yeah there have been lots of changes and improvements.

Two things to check:
1. Turn off all individual site's own table focus option/pop tables to top:

2. Then run this Test for each site individually. This will allow us to confirm if SaT is correctly detecting when action is required:

What Scan Mode are you using in Advanced Options? By default, SaT attempts to use 'DWM' mode if you have Aero theme enabled in Windows. Perhaps your Parallels mac VM doesn't support Aero theme? You should try to turn Aero on if you can (right click desktop -> personalize), and then change to 'DWM' mode and re-include all of your sites. In any case, if SaT has reverted to 'PW' mode, 2 seconds still seems excessive to scan the tables. I actually do most of my development work on a local Win7 VM, but my host machine is Win8. I'm not sure if a Mac host would affect the VM performance or not..

Thanks Greg,
worked through all points but the test, focuss off, aero on.

Seems i got rid of the 2 problems, but tables seem not to get popped up in the background and im timing out in some cases. Btw, for what stands slot 0?

when are the tables supposed to go back into the stack if i have unchecked
"move to stack at end of hand"? do i have to put them manually back?

If the Test that I linked to passed correctly for all sites, then that means SaT should also correctly pop the tables up in the stack when its your turn to act. I would run that Test for different scenarios, using 'Move to Grid' = 'When action required' and making sure that SaT will correctly move the table out of the stack and into the grid always at the correct time. Check as many scenarios as possible, especially when facing an allin.

Also, you'd need to make sure you have this setting turned on in SaT advanced options, although this should be on by default:
"Activate (Focus) table when action required"

What site/theme are you having this problem on?


Slot 0 means no slot at all. You can click the blue labels in the software for some further explanations.

They would go back whenever you click Fold with your mouse. Most people who use hotkeys set up a "Fold + Stack" hotkey for this purpose. In my opinion that is the best way.

im using pokerstars.eu with hyper simple theme
and "activate table when action required is checked"

going to make these tests tomorrow. will give feedback then.

Ok let me know. Also check and see if the tables pop out of the stack and into the grid too early. Sometimes on HyperSimple, the problem is that SaT sees the advance action checkboxes and moves the table to the grid when those are visible, instead of waiting until the actual fold/call/bet buttons are visible.

new tournaments take focus is disabled

when SaT is on however a new tournament starting will pop up. i dont think thats supposed to happen ?

Ahhhh.. Let me correct myself: Focusing new windows is a feature of Windows itself, unless of course the pokersite has an option to disable that!

Try this and let me know if it works:

In SaT, click on File->Current Layout, which will open up your full layout config file. Directly under the [settings] line, add this one new line:

Don't touch any of the other settings. Save the file and restart SaT and try it out.

ok will do

do i also have to add the ...
?

No. Sorry. All you will be adding is this line:

alrities thanks that fixed the stealing focus everytime a new sng loaded

but

now this happens pretty often: when a table pops up in my stack to make a decision, I think for a second and will attempt to fold/call/whatever, but during that time another table waiting for action will pop-up so that basically makes me do the move on THAT table instead..now thats not good... at all

No, thats not good at all. How long does this usually take? Is it a split second? Or are you thinking about a decision for several seconds, and then it happens?

Are you sure you've turned off all the 'pop tables to top' options within the poker sites?
http://www.stackandtile.com/sat/help/focus-stealing

i think i have that turned on, I will turn it off and see if it works!

sigh. WPN seems to not work again... the tables do not move to the slots they are supposed to when I activate SaT, and when I press the various hotkeys. BTW, what is WPN doing in their software updates that causes SaT not to work? Is there a quick fix that I can implement the next time this happens?

Unfortunately no. Every time WPN updates their software, they change the window classes and such that SaT uses to detect their tables, and I need to release a new version of SaT

This last update is even more of a bitch, because now it seems they are changing the classnames even without requiring an update. In the past, you could always just remove the built in 'WinningPoker' site. Then select 'Other' from the Sites dropdown and go through the wizard to create a custom site profile. Users have been doing that for a while until I get SaT updated. However, this last update even broke that.

I'm trying to work on a solution.

Hey I am having a hard time for some reason setting up my Xbox 360 controller with SnT, I have Xpadder set up with all of my keys and the same keys on SnT but once I start it they dont work. Is there some certain advanced options that i need to have checked or unchecked to get them to work? I am also currently on windows 8 if that has anything to do with it. I also am using it to play on Merge and Bovada.

First make sure that Xpadder is working correctly. So, with SaT off, try pressing those buttons on your controller and making sure the correct keys are being sent. So for example, set the buttons to send a normal letter keypress, then open up Notepad and see if they get sent when you press the button.

If that works, the next thing you can try is to preceed the SaT hotkey with the $ character. For example

XPadder x360 Yellow button = A
SaT Fold+Stack hotkey = $A

tried both and it works in the notepad, also when i tried the SnT $A it didnt work on the controller but the A on the keyboard worked..

Hrmmmm, I'm not sure what it could be. Are you running SaT as administrator? Do you have AHK installed to do a quick test?

Hello.

I am trying out free version. So far it works okay with Pokerstars, although, the way it removes tables from the layout is a bit annoying, sometimes you want to see the action in the hand where you have folded.

My main concern is how it works with 888. No matter how I setup SaT or 888, it keeps timing out. All my PS.com tables are all right, but 888 tables constantly time out. I would like this issue to be addressed before I can pay that monthly fee.

Indeed. You can configure it however you want. By default, tables move back to the stack when you click 'fold' with your mouse. If you don't want that to happen, you can turn off 'Left mouse click detection' in Advanced Options. Then it will be up you to move the table back to the stack manually, perhaps with a "Stack Table" hotkey.

Do you mean that SaT is not detecting that its your turn to act, and thus not moving the table into the grid?

Please run the Test described on this page and let me know if/how it fails:
http://www.stackandtile.com/sat/help...not-stay-stack

It is detecting, however new tables keep popping up before I made a decision on 888 table. I will try to uncheck that multitable pop up option in clients' settings, maybe that will help. So far I just want it to give me more time to act on 888 table, because timebank is always screwed there somehow.
