OK so I set up a side slot to the right but it wont let me keep my stack in the top left it keeps putting the window in the slot to the right...

So I'm not sure how to do this it keeps automatically putting the window in the only slot like you said which is to the right.

In the top left corner, you have 10 slots all of the same size and location. You then have 3 other slots in the other corners. You assign the 3 other slots hotkeys (Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, & Ctrl+3 going clockwise).

One of the windows in your stack becomes activated and you want to move it to a free slot because it's not a simple auto-fold. You hit Ctrl+1. The active window is moved to the top right. If there currently is a window in that top right slot, it will be moved to the stack. The same holds true if you had pressed Ctrl+2 or Ctrl+3, but with the bottom right and bottom left corners, respectively.

I'm not exactly sure what you are saying when you mean it won't keep your stack. But the way I just described it is how hotkey swapping works and how you will have to use it if you want a stack of slots with the same size and location.

I use stacks too for multi-tabling. A tie breaker where an empty slot wins would be great.

Hey IrishThug, gratz for the great job. I'm trying to set it for to partypoker, but sometimes the tables open in the first position (and the first table go to the last spot). is there a way to fix it ?

thanks !

As long Swap on New Find is unchecked, a new window will be moved to the first empty slot and will not switch with an existing window.

It was unchecked and they still open on the first slot, so the first table go to the last spot avaiable. There is also some strange bug with HM too (I guess the problem only occurs when I start running HM auto import + HUD). On 'PlaceMint' lobby it appears each table twice, one with the full and right name: 'Table NUMBER - NL Hold'em - $1/$2' and one only with 'Table NUMBER'; then they start changing position randomly and I have to close TableMint. Any guess ? Thanks !

edit: I'm using the regex downloaded and it recognizes the confirmation window (to close the table) also as a table. On confirmation windows titlebar is written 'Table NUMBER'.

vrV,
check your pm box.

Is it possible to capture pidgin windows into one of the slots?
They don't seem to have any common keywords in the title bar.

PlaceMint only supports regular expression matching. Since Pidgin use only the screen name of the current buddy conversation, there is no way to write a regular expression to match that.

This looks great, however I am a total newb when it comes to this sort of thing...

I would like to have 9 active tables on an external monitor and then two piles of 4 and 5 tables (which I am either mining or on waiting lists) on the main monitor. Is this possible? Can I make it so that when I want to quit one of the 9 active ones on the external, it will jump onto either pile on the main. Then when I want a waiting list table from the main monitor, to replace the lost table, can I make this jump into the space left?

Thanks if anyone can take the time to help

You can setup the layout to be anything you want. Tools > Configure will take you to where you can edit your current layout. Create a group for the poker site you want and then start making slots and position them where ever you want (if you need visual help, click the Show checkbox).

PlaceMint is not doing anything to keep a watch of what is actually happening in a window. All it is doing is knowing it exists and where it is located. Any automated movement based on specific actions at a table would have to be custom for every poker site. What you CAN do is assign hotkeys to the slots you play on. Using this you can simply press a hotkey and swap two tables.

If you close a table, enabling Ripple Forward will move all the windows forward so that the empty slot is now at the end of the list.

Sounds great, thank you for the help man.

I want to do something similar to this. Where by I have 9 tables on an external in a square, then 9 other tables stacked on the laptop. When I get on a stacked table (where I have been on the waiting list) I wish to move it to a 19th slot beside the 9table square on the external (it is widescreen so there is a spaced down the side) so I can then wait for blinds and have it visible while decided which of the 9 tables to remove. I think I need to assign a hotkey to move the selected table into slot 19.

But under hotkeys there is show,restore, minimize, mazimize and I am unsure of which to select. I would like to be able to Ctrl+z a table and it jump into the spot beside the 9 tables...but I can't seem to do this atm. Thanks again.

Those are the hotkeys that work globally on a group. You want to go to the slot tab and select your specific slot. That is where you can assign a hotkey to move a table to the specific slot.

hey, i had just got the grips with the program using it successfully for a number of sessions then I tried to create a second layout for use when I want to stack my tables.

However now everytime I go to open PlaceMint it grabs all open windows and stacks them (ALL windows, like firefox etc) I then cant unstack them or select any of the options in PlaceMint...so I have no idea what to do to stop this from happening each time I open it. I can get a screen print if needed. The only way I can currently get out of the situation is to restart. Any ideas on what I can do to prevent this and how to properly have 2 layouts of which I only use one at a time...?

Cheers again

If you want two layouts that you will never use at the same time, you can create two different configuration files and load the one you want when you start.

If every window is being selected by PlaceMint, it's likely that you have a blank regular expression. An empty string will match any and all windows.

I edited the PlaceMint_WindowGroups and deleted the 2nd layout. So now I have opened it and the original layout seems fine.

So to create two different config files I just copy the original one into the same folder but rename it? Then load in Placemint correct?

-Success imo. Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi there,

I simply can't get the program to recognize PP tables or the PP lobby. I added a group for them, selected PP from the regular expression textbox and removed "custom" after it started resizing and moving everything but not pp windows.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something obvious, but I feel blind. <;

Thansk for your help in advance!

Hi there –

First of all thank you for your hard work and all of the support. I am very close to making it work. However, I am still confused on how to move a table that needs attention to a new slot. I set up a total of 10 slots. Slots 1-8 are in the upper left hand corner, Slot 9 is the upper right hand corner and slot 10 is the lower right. When I open 10 tables it works perfectly. They all go to there respective slots. The “Show” button on the slots tabs is invaluable for setting up the location.

Here is where the confusion is for me: I know that I need to assign the hot keys under the slots tab but I am confused and how to do it. Presume that I want to assign it to a gamepad.

Do I have to assign a hotkey to Slots 1-8 or just to slot 9 and 10 (where the table that needs attention will be moved)?
Can you suggest an example to assign it to Joy8?
Under Options ---> Swapping what do I need to have ticked if I want a table in slot 1-8 to be moved to Slot 9 or slot 10.


thanks again!

If 9 and 10 are the slots you use to play with, you want hotkeys assigned to them. That way, when a window becomes active in your stack, you can hit the hotkey for slot 9 and the active window will be swapped with slot 9. The text field in the hotkey section will display the button you press when it has focus. You will most likely want to use Hotkey Swapping/Active Window.

so should you only load the amount of tables to match slots 1-8 and then when the AHK is pressed it will jumped to slot 9 or can you have 10 tables opened?

No, you can have as many tables as you want. If there is currently a tables using slot 9, it will be moved to the slot being used by the active table.

Side Note: AHK stands for AutoHotkey, a scripting language that lots of programmers here use to do things with poker sites. However, any program can use a hotkey to perform some action, without being related to AutoHotkey.

ok -- thanks --

I am lost in terms of getting a table moved from slots 1-8 (upper right) to slot 9 (upper left) so I can focus on it. I have read this whole thread and the wiki and I am very confused about that portion. I was able to load ten tables in each of there slots but not able to move one in need of attention to another area of my monitor (slots 9 and 10).

Is there more documentation that I can read to move a table. Anything else you can suggest?

AHHHHHH I figured it out -- once I perfect it, I will send you a donation.


very cool!

Glad to hear that you got it working properly. You can PM me to work out the details of the donation.
