I check the Auto-Print box aform the preferences tab and the "Allow Players to be seated who have not bought in" from the tables tab. When I load a new tournament (and when i start TD, they become unselected and I have to turn them on again. I havent tried with any other preferences but TD does not remember my preferences for these 2
Which Auto-Print preference (there are two)? I'm not seeing this problem.
For the "Settings" on the Tables tab ("Allow seating of players who have not bought-in", "Automatically suggest player movements", etc): This is slightly new behavior in 2.6 beta 5, and is now how it should have been all along. Initially (long ago) I added these as preferences, because I figured people who would allow players to be seated before buying them into the tournament would probably do this for all of their tournaments. And people who wanted the software to suggest player movements would always want the software to do this.
However, there was an issue specifically with the "Allow seating of players who have not bought-in" preference. If a tournament was configured (and perhaps partially run) and saved while this preference was enabled, then the preference was disabled, when that tournament was loaded the software could get into trouble if the saved tournament had unpaid players seated at tables. The preference to allow seating of unpaid players was disabled, yet the tournament had seated players who were not bought-in. This led to several bad things happening and basically just some weird behavior.
Ultimately I realized that these are really tournament settings, not preferences, but people will still have a preference as to how they are usually configured. Thus, in beta 5, I changed these to be tournament settings, but I also added preferences that control their
default values. So, if the
preference "
Allow seating of players who have not bought-in is checked by default (Tables tab Settings)" is enabled, then whenever you create a new tournament (from scratch), or create a new Tables configuration (from scratch), the setting "Allow seating of players who have not bought-in" will be enabled. However, when you load a tournament, or load a Tables template, this setting will be the same as it was when the tournament or template was saved.
Since this wasn't a tournament setting before now, the software has to do some sleuthing to figure out how the settings should be configured every time you load a tournament saved from a previous version, but it isn't very hard and I think it gets it right.
I hope that's clear.
