Title: 3.7 BETA 4
Post by: Corey Cooper on December 28, 2019, 07:12:45 PM
Version 3.7 BETA 4 is ready.  This version has fixes for all issues that were found in the third beta.

- Evaluation mode now works.  So if you don't yet have a license and want to give it a go, please do.

- As before, installing this won't upgrade earlier versions (before 3.7) that you may have installed.  It WILL replace version 3.7 beta 1, beta 2, or beta 3, if you have that installed.

Following up my own post, some of you might be asking "what's left?"  The answer is "not much!"

- A color picker.  This was a low priority for me, but now that everything else is done I can get started on it.

- A font picker.  Unfortunately I think this will not be part of the final version 3.7.  It's not part of Electron and my request has essentially been denied.  I'm honestly not sure where to go from here.  Locally installed fonts can still be used, but the TD application simply has no way currently to look those up and provide them as a selection to the user.  But the user can still use them by typing their name directly.  While it is not a solution, I've been considering installing a collection of free fonts from the web as a list of fonts for the user to select from.  There are a lot of great fonts available for free now.  This doesn't solve the problem but it might make it more bearable.

- Automatic updates.  I've not fully investigated this but there's no reason that I can think of not to enable this as a feature.  Much better than simply alerting the user that a new version is available.  I hope to get this enabled by the time 3.7 is out of beta.

- Code-signing certificate.  This will allow installation of the application without Windows complaining that the application is not "safe".  I actually finally got the certificate approved just yesterday, but it won't arrive for a few days and I didn't want to hold up this release.  So this one is basically "done".

That's it!  There are other things that need attention, but nothing to hold up the final of 3.7.  Once I finish the color picker, get the certificate and figure out how to get it into the build/install process, and determine how to proceed with automatic updates, version 3.7 is done.

And as a followup to my own followup, I want to say THANK YOU so much to everyone who has been using the beta versions.  It is so unbelievably helpful.  You all using the beta versions allows me to find and fix issues that never show up during my own testing.  I cannot thank you all enough!

I downloaded and use the Beta 4 now. one of the Problems I found out that my Standard Printer, a Printer inside our Network, I can chose this printer in the TD but he didn't print anything. I tried this at the Players tap to export Players by printing.
What about move Game Screen to extended Screen, only found move to Main Screen.
At a re-buy Tournament very player can take only one Re-buy. I set this at the Tournament settings. But TD still ask if the Player who took already one Re-buy want to take one more. In the old Version i only need to click no at the first time and TD didn't ask again.
But the rest of the new Version are very good. Fast, stable and easy to handle like the older Versions before Windows 10 ;-)
Thank you for your work.

I downloaded and use the Beta 4 now. one of the Problems I found out that my Standard Printer, a Printer inside our Network, I can chose this printer in the TD but he didn't print anything. I tried this at the Players tap to export Players by printing.

I don't know if you noticed this in the "Printing Preferences" on the Preferences tab:

At this time printing only works when using the Default printer. To use a different printer you must change the Default printer in Windows. This will be fixed in a future version.

So while the TD can see your installed printers and you can select any of them, printing won't work unless the "Default" printer is selected.  This is unfortunately an Electron bug.  So I'm just waiting for those guys to fix it.  I think they will eventually fix it.

What about move Game Screen to extended Screen, only found move to Main Screen.

The functionality in the version 3.4.3 and earlier to move the Game Screen to your Extended Display, and similar features, were there for one simple reason: the TD had to be restarted to switch between window mode and full-screen mode.  In window mode, you can click the title bar of a window and drag it wherever you want.  But in full-screen mode, there's no title bar, so no way for you to move the window.  So I had to add the ability to move the window when in full-screen mode.

Now the application can switch between window mode and full-screen mode at any time.  With the Settings window closed, just press F11.  Or, right-click and select "Full screen".  To get out of full-screen mode, press F11.  Or right-click and select "Exit full screen".  Or move the mouse to the top of the screen and click the big X that appears.

To get the Game window to your extended display, just exit full screen mode, drag the window where you want it, and press F11 to go back to full screen mode.

At a re-buy Tournament very player can take only one Re-buy. I set this at the Tournament settings. But TD still ask if the Player who took already one Re-buy want to take one more. In the old Version i only need to click no at the first time and TD didn't ask again.

I did change this functionality.  A user got confused as to why that window (to rebuy a player who just busted out so they can retain their seat) didn't appear.  I thought it might be a bug, but it turns out this was correct because the user was no longer eligible to rebuy since they already rebought and the limit was set to 1 rebuy per player.  So everything was working.  But while I was testing, I understood the user's confusion.  The process did not feel consistent.  That the window would open sometimes and not other times felt odd.  I decided to change it so the window always opens and gives the user the option to rebuy (the player is still ineligible, and the rebuy window will show that).  You are the 2nd person to notice this change, so I'm not certain I made the right decision.  At this point I'm thinking I will change it back, and maybe add a preference so the user can decide how this works.

But the rest of the new Version are very good. Fast, stable and easy to handle like the older Versions before Windows 10 ;-)
Thank you for your work.

Thank you!

Hi Corey,

I see.  Hmm.  I honestly can't say.  There *are* a number of issues with printing, and the Electron team have been addressing them, but several are still open.  Whether the print is local or network shouldn't matter, of course, but it might.  For the curious, here's the main bug report I'm following: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/17523.  As you can see there are perhaps 2 dozen issues with printing, some of which don't apply, and many of which have been addressed.  But several are still open.  We might just have to wait until they've been fixed and the TD has caught up.  The TD currently uses Electron 5.0.10.  The current release is 7.1.7.  The Electron team is moving very quickly!  I will be struggling to keep up.

Close the Settings window.  Press F11 to exit full-screen mode.  The Game window will now have a title bar.  Drag the game window to the appropriate display.  Press F11 again to enter full-screen mode.

I think you are referring to the Status Messages.  Right-click on it and select "Disable Status Messages".  There is more control over them by pressing the "Status Messages" button on the Preferences tab.

The older Versions had a blinking clock so u can see the names. And how i realise that the seating chart screen move again up and down?

The Built-in screens (Player Rankings, Seating Chart, Blinds Schedule, Player Movement, and Seating List) will all automatically scroll if their contents are too tall to fit on the screen.  Right-click on the screen and select "Disable Auto-scroll" to turn it off.

I don't know if it's come up before but I tried the new beta version and I get a program shut down due to the "ContinueWhereILeftOff" feature if the file it's searching for is not available. I had to create a file from an older version and load it in the new version in order to shut off that feature and try it.

Hmm, I've not seen that.  I just tried it: loaded a tournament, made sure "Continue where I left off" preference was enabled, exited, deleted the tournament, and restarted the app.  Upon starting it I got a dialog saying "Unable to load tournament file: file not found" with the path to the now-deleted tournament.

Did you get an error message?

At a re-buy Tournament very player can take only one Re-buy. I set this at the Tournament settings. But TD still ask if the Player who took already one Re-buy want to take one more. In the old Version i only need to click no at the first time and TD didn't ask again.


FWIW I would also vote for this screen to NOT come up every time if a player is ineligible to re-buy.

Hello,
In version 3.4, there was a "display management" parameter.
I can't find it in 3.7.
The problem is I can not display correctly my layout whatever the resolution chosen. It worked perfectly before.

 I suppose I have to modify my layout ?
Thanks

There isn't direct support for any type of barcode scanner, but barcode scanners typically emulate keyboard input, so there's no reason the TD won't work with one (many have used them in the past with the TD).  There are some enhancements to help facilitate use of one, such as the "Auto perform action" checkbox on the various player dialogs.  When a search results in a single result, if the "Auto perform action" checkbox is checked, the OK button is automatically pressed, basically.  So, for example, assume you had assigned each player a unique ID and recorded it in the player's ID field.  When buying players in, the player's card is scanned, the barcode scanned would be entered automatically into the Find input, which would result in a single player being listed, which would then automatically buy the player in.  So when buying players in, a single scan does everything.

Yes and no.  Version 3.7 is quite different than 3.4.3, and it installs into a new location.  So version 3.4.3 will still exist on your PC.  Version 3.7 will look in the same place for license, preferences, saved tournaments and templates, player db, etc.

I recommend:
- Take a backup of 3.4.3
- Install 3.7 [beta]
- Run 3.7 (it will automatically start upon installation)
- See everything is there.  Yay!
- Exit 3.7.
- Uninstall 3.4.3.  This will not delete any saved data.
- Start using 3.7 from now on.

Display Management is no longer necessary, since the application can now switch between window mode and full screen at any time (no exit and restart required).  To move the Game window to another display, one simply needs to close the Settings window, press F11 to exit full screen mode, drag the Game window wherever you want it, then press F11 again to go back to full screen mode.

Yes, you may need to modify your layout, as the new version is using a different rendering engine and now uses standard HTML.  But I have found that very little change has been required.  Your mileage may vary.

Looking at your picture, your layout looks like it stretches a little below the screen, and should stretch to the right half of the screen.  There could be several reasons for this, depending on your layout.  Do you have a pic of how it looks using version 3.4.3?

Our layout fits the entire monitor before. (as attachment)
It is optimized for 1024'x768.

After test severals resolutions, when I put 1024x768, the width was OK but I always have an issue with the height. I didn't take a picture.

Thanks for sending the layout.

So I don't really see much difference between displaying this layout on version 3.4.3 and displaying this layout on version 3.7.0-beta.4.  Except that the the fonts on 3.4.3 look much more blocky/pixelated, and they look much smoother on version 3.7.0-beta.4.

With layout scaling disabled, the layout looks a lot like the picture you provided.  With layout scaling enabled, the layout fills the entire screen.  However, the layout was clearly designed for 1024x768 screens, as the outermost container (which is a column) as its dimensions specified as width 1024 and height 768.  The layout also has "Stretch" specified.  The main column cannot stretch (its dimensions are specified), so it remains at 1024x768 and it ends up in the middle of the screen vertically.

There are a couple of things you can do to try to get this layout to look right.

I think the best solution is to simply remove the height and width from the outermost column.  Then the layout will properly stretch to the actual screen dimensions.  Remember to turn off layout scaling.  If you're using a 16:9 display in a common resolution like 1920x1080 and find the fonts too small, you can turn layout scaling on and set the optimal resolution to something like 1280x720.  This will allow the layout to stretch to the correct proportions for your display before scaling up to 1920x1080.

You can also simply enable layout scaling and leave the dimensions set on the column.  But as 1024x768 is a 4:3 ratio, unless you are displaying it on a 4:3 display it's not going to look right.  The layout will attempt to stretch horizontally to reach the full width of the display.  This will cause the height to scale proportionally and you'll end up with part of the layout cut off at the bottom of the display.

Thank you for your advice. I will try the next time to remove the width and height.

Are you saying when you closed the Hand Timer window the application exited?  Did you see an error?

I don't understand.  The "Find" feature doesn't work on the "Add Players" window?

It's hard to say just from the screenshot.  As previously noted, version 3.7 is running under a completely different browser/rendering engine, so there will likely be some differences in how the layout is rendered.  That said, you might try removing the "Blank" cell to see if it helps, or any of those that aren't currently displayed (Stakes, Ante, Next Stakes, Next Ante), unless you actually use those at other times in your tournament.  I'm guessing that even though those cells aren't displayed, there might be some space allocated for them, thus the empty space.

There was definitely a change here.  I'll be revisiting this before beta 5 is complete.

So when adding a new layer this is how I have been doing it;

go to players tab.
click add new player.Then click new player.

Then go to the control tab
click buy in
Never can find them

I have a tournament with 10 minute rounds.  The first break happens after the 6th round.  The "Start Time" column on the Rounds tab says the break starts at 1:00 (1 hour into the tournament).  In the Game window, the "Next Break" shows the same: "1:00:00".  Seems right to me.  Can you show me an example of where it appears to be wrong?

Are you sure you're not buying them into the tournament at the same time?  There's a preference "Buy-in players now is checked by default (on Add Players dialog)".  That isn't on by default, but if it's enabled then the "Buy in players now" box will be checked, and you'll be buying players into the tournament at the same time you are adding them to the tournament.  Players who are already bought-in won't show up on the "Buy-in Players" dialog.

i used this beta last day. it seems the time to next break doesnt seem to be right on the touranament display. looks likes it counts the break time as well. are you able to check this if this is a bug?

I have a tournament with 10 minute rounds.  The first break happens after the 6th round.  The "Start Time" column on the Rounds tab says the break starts at 1:00 (1 hour into the tournament).  In the Game window, the "Next Break" shows the same: "1:00:00".  Seems right to me.  Can you show me an example of where it appears to be wrong?

let me see if i can recreate it had tournament 20 min levels break at level 6 for 8 min then break at 12 for 40 min in between there it showed wrong before the last 40 min break.

This is probably true.  Previously, the TD used Windows Media Player embedded in the browser to play audio files.  WMP plays a lot of different audio file types.  Starting in 3.7 the TD uses Chrome, and modern browsers support audio without the need to embed anything.  But the list of file formats supported is definitely shorter, and it doesn't include proprietary formats like Microsoft's WMA.  I don't have a definitive list at this time, but I think the list is likely WAV, MP3, MP4, OGG, FLAC, AAC.
