Seating Chart List in Alphabetical pages of ~80 players per page, flicking through each page every 5 seconds, the list of columns which scroll was a great addition, but still slows seating during large MTT's a paged view could also flick through the chart and also include on the final page a diagram of the cardroom layout if required.
Certainly doable. What I've got on my list right now is a way to have different versions of the built-in screens. Currently you can see a built-in screen by pressing a hotkey, or a context-menu item, or one of the big buttons on the Settings window. This takes you out of screen rotation and displays only that built-in screen. You can also add a built-in screen to a Screen Set so that it is included in screen rotation. But you can only have one "version" of any built-in screen, as the built-in screens have only one set of properties. I'd like to be able to specify unique properties for the screens when you include them in screen rotation.
While this wouldn't implement your suggestion, it would allow for, say, showing the Seating Chart screen as a list of players and tables/seats, and then showing it again as a table layout diagram. I'll put your suggestion on my list.

Flights - for multiple day1 events, register into specific flight and or draw players onto flights randomly, then combine flights for day 2, and or merge tournaments together for the purpose of day 2
How is this typically handled? I assume this is usually done for space limits. For example, you can accommodate 150 players but you want to have a 200 player tournament, you randomly select 100 players who play on day one. We assume half will bust out by the end of the day, and you add the remaining players the next day? Or do you let 100 players play one day, the remaining 100 players play the next day, and then combine for the 3rd day?
Sometimes you will draw flights randomly based on satellite entries, sometimes you will pre-reg into different flights, and the both flights are merged together, the other aspect is players often register into day 1b for example after being eliminated from day 1a, this is where the ability to draw and combine flights and also perhaps merge tournaments together would assist.

The ability to run more than one tournament at a time, this would be a major item to catch up with other commercial softwares, single, double or quadruple clock screens utilising the extended display.
Are you actually running multiple tournaments simultaneously? Or is it a divide and conquer approach to running a single, large tournament?
Divide and conquer approach for a large tournament would be handled by flights, but yes I am often running multiple tournaments at the same time and this therefore requires different PC's or different software to be running each tournament when we are not using cardroommagic.

Seating Ticket stubs printable from a receipt printer (name, table, seat number)
Don't buy-in receipts suffice? They can have seating information on them.
no, because we register players, and then do a seating draw after registration closes, I then export the names and seat to excel to print onto tickets, It would be much easier if TD could export this information onto short ticket stubs, printed in order of seat number, seat number on the buy-in receipt is only really of any use when it is known almost exactly how many players will be participating.

Prize receipts printable from the prizes tab including multiple copies (player, cardroom, cage)
That is on my list, but didn't know if there was much demand. What would be on the receipt?
Prize receipts I use on excel are attached

Prize tab in spreadsheet view
I see how this benefits the Rounds schedule, but the Prizes are usually a much smaller affair. Are you working with large prize lists? Also, some of the restrictions and input types would make this a little more difficult to realize in a spreadsheet type view.
Amount of prizes I am handling in larger events is around 20 places, a spreadsheet view would tie in with the prize receipts also very nicely for when you are creating receipts for prize claiming.

Addition of a Registration fee for tournament buy-ins eg $10+$1 instead of $11-$1
I know, I know. If only we could turn back time and redo some things. There is *so much* of the software that is dependent on this that it's difficult to change. I've been looking into a way to have a preference control this, but if it turns out to be a huge amount of work it is less likely to get done.

Additional tokens for receipts including buyin tourney description gametype and limit
buyin: well, the receipts do have the items and their amounts. Doesn't this cover it? I mean, if the receipt is for a rebuy, how would <buyin> be useful?
tourney description: <eventname> is there but I don't see <eventdescription>. That's really easy to add.
gametype and limit: the TD allows for every round to have a game type and game name. I could add this, I guess, as the game type and game name from the first round.
in the same way I describe on the tournament screen, I could then display Today's Tournament is a £10+£2 Hold'em No Limit on the receipt.
