PlaceMint: Window Positioning Tool - Page 78 - Poker Software -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Hey, after the stars update the placemint config i had that worked perfectly a few days ago doesn't work anymore. Placemint has the tables listed in the table manager window, and in the correct order, but it isn't resizing them, and it just blinks very fast like it is constantly picking up new windows and trying to resize them, not sure why a Stars update would affect it, but its the only thing that has changed since it worked last.

Anyone having this problem?

Is there a regex list for the new cake beta?

2. sometimes both the new table and old table just stay there, and neither of them is moved to the last available slot. I am not able to use mouse to move one of the tables to a open slot. I have to pause and restore placemint to re-allocate all the tables to all slots, and the re-allocation seems random(?)

is there a way to avoid the #2 scenario? thanks!

I was doing some research on this issue. it seems to me that the problem is related to the some transactional problem; it seems that "refresh" event is triggered before the previous "refresh" event is completed. the event for the ripple forwarded table is conflicted with the event for the new table. if we can somehow let the previous refresh event complete first before another refresh event starts, we can fix this problem.

one workaround seems to set the refresh time a little longer, say 1000ms. it mitigates the issue a little, but it still happens occasionally.

That makes sense. The code is not written with the idea that two refresh's could be running at the same time. I can put in a flag that aborts the refresh if the previous one has not finished.

this is one workaround. in your code, how do you detect if the previous one has not finished? could you please release a version with the fix? thanks.

Nothing has been implemented yet, but the process would be

Code:

public void refresh() {
   if (running)
      return;
   running = true;
   ...
   running = false;
}

Where running is a class variable of the main window.

This sounds like something worthy of a release and not wait for 3.0.

It seemed like a good idea, but I did some research and found that it is not the case.

Quote:

The Windows Forms Timer component is single-threaded, and is limited to an accuracy of 55 milliseconds.

Source

This means that there is only one thread running the the refresh events, so two refreshes can not be running in parallel. My tests confirmed that Thread.CurrentThread was always the same always the same object and that a timer does not fire again if the current thread is sleeping for some length of time longer than the timer interval.

It looks like currently Placemint can't deal with the stack order in a slot. My request would be a hotkey to place the current top window to the back. In particular I want to send a table from one slot to another but sending it to the back and not on top of all stacks. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Edgar

If anyone has some time I would love a working regex for everleaf

Here are some window titles.

Quote:

Brescia XIV - NL Hold'em - €0.10/€0.20 blinds - [Connection is very good+]
ITA Casablanca II - NL Hold'em - €5/€10 blinds - [Connection is good+]
Bayonne XV - PL Omaha - €0.10/€0.20 blinds - [Connection is good+]

Nevermind I stopped being a lazy ass and finally think I have the hang of these.

This should catch any Hold'em/Omaha/O8 Cash game for Everleaf.

Code:

^[a-zA-Z\s]{5,}\s\-\s[NL|PL|Hold\'em|Omaha|Omaha\sHi\/Lo\s]{5,}\s\-\s[0-9\.\/\€\$]{6,}

Will this work on a virtual machine (parallels, vmware, etc) on a mac? I've been messing around with it and everything seems to work as far as configuring it goes but it won't actually put the tables where they are supposed to go when I open pokerstars.

Can someone help me?

Edit:
When I click the last hand replayer the program recognizes that it is a stars table and places it accordingly but it still won't pick up the normal tables.

There should be no problems if Windows is a guest OS as PlaceMint will not know that Windows is any different than if it was on hard metal.

The regex list has not been updated recently, check the thread to see if an new expression has been posted.

Dunno what FTP have done recently but I had not played rush in a while I'm no longer getting the changing window title/overlay issue.

So if you make a new regex called Full Tilt Rush (or whatever) and use this

Quote:

[0-9]\s\-\s\sLogged\sIn\sAs\s[a-zA-Z0-9\s]{4,}$

It should catch your rush tables only.

Correct. In order to move windows and register hotkeys, PlaceMint has to make OS level calls that are not abstracted away by .NET.

I am a complete noob when it comes to these stuff. I play about 18 tables FTP and PS. Where can I get instructions on how to set this up for first time?

first of all thanks for this great tool!

is it possible to switch between windows in a stack using a hotkey? i.e. when i press a hotkey it will check what stack the active window is in and switch to the next window in that stack.

also you could maybe add a visual indicator for drag & dropping between slots. for example a red border (displayed while user is dragging) indicating which slot the window will be placed in to. not a biggie but would make the ui a little bit more intuitive.

also it seems to be using 10-15% CPU so this is also something you should look in to. if done properly it shouldn't require that much CPU.

is it possible to assign a hotkey to specific window groups, so I can switch between groups by pressing one of those hotkeys?

so lets say I have 2 groups one for 4tabling and one for 6tabling, I want to be able to press lets say F4 to go to 4tabling mode and F6 for 6tabling
