Beta Testing / Re: 3.4 beta 1

Thanks for the information.  Is it safe to assume that, after getting the Settings window back onto the main display, this hasn't happened again?

Correct.  The off-screen menu "issue" only happened on the first run.  Once it was forced back on to the main screen, subsequent runs have been fine.

Still might be an "issue" for everyone on their first run???

Well, aren't you just the clever one? That seems to have resolved the problem.

Glad to hear it worked.  Makes me a little nervous, though, because I don't know why it opened off-screen.  This is important in this release because I changed the way dialogs are created and opened.  They now initially are opened off-screen, sized appropriately, then moved on-screen.  This should not be a problem, as moving and placement of dialogs has never been an issue, but you never know what's going to pop up when you get your software onto other people's PCs.

Same thing when I loaded on my laptop. Hiring a neighborhood kid to help me hold down all those keys once again resolved the issue.   ;)

LOL.  Yeah, it's a handful, but it's intentionally a key combination you would never want to configure [on the Hotkeys tab] for any actions you want to use during the tournament.

Any chance either of you were previously using the TD with a second display?  I hope the Settings window opened offscreen because it was configured to open on the second display [which isn't currently connected] and not for some other reason.
This same thing happened on both my desktop and laptop.  The laptop typically has an external monitor attached (when we have a game) but the desktop does not (it is used to tweak the layouts and as a backup only).  The key combo worked, but on first startup, the menus were all hidden (off screen).  Just another example, for your information.

So, you're gonna add it to version 2.1.4 tonight?   ;)

Just kidding.  I believe your thought process is right-on when it comes to this topic.  You need to think it ALL through, probably starting at the bottom of the prize list, and working your way up...potentially more than once.  Analysis of the current prizes, new changes, and re-analysis, etc. until things become stable.  Then, based on some set of new/future changes, do it all again.  Definitely a little more complicated that it looks on the surface.  The "dynamic" aspect really applies from the start of the tourney until the complete end, so it probably wouldn't just be one or two simple changes.  Fortunately, computers are generally good at these sorts of number comparisons & rule applications, IF the overall rules can be written correctly.

It would be nice if it could be worked out, though.  Good luck!

Not to beat a dead horse, but our group uses the "NO rebuys, NO addons" formula, also!

Thanks for the input.  I'll give the VNC-deals a try!  I think 3 screens would be enough for us right now, although more would be GREAT!

*** SORRY TO POST THIS IN TWO LOCATIONS...THE OTHER WAS A MISTAKE ***  >:(

Any chance (or am I missing it in the current version?) you could look into adding some sort of "network capability" for the program?  Meaning, all of the locations where our league plays have wired/wireless networks, but not all have easy access to multiple TVs.  We'd love to be able to send the program info (screen shots/sounds) to multiple laptops, spread throughout the playing floors, for ease of visability from different locations.  Output to TVs works just as well, except that we have much more (easier) access to laptops and PCs than TVs...plus, you can do it all wirelessly with the network setup, as opposed to running S-video and RCA audio cables all over the place.

It isn't a huge deal...the program is GREAT as it is!  Just something we'd like to see (if possible) in the future.

Thanks!  Keep up the good work!
