HI,
With the old V it was possible to discriminate the players regarding their countries when I was looking for a P in the opened tables.
Is it possible to do the same now ......and how?

No, it's not. But when using List Interesting Tables or Take Me To the First Available Seat, tables with players from the same country as you get a preference boost.

Wishful thinking? Self serving explanation? Your answer is disappointing to say it politely.

List of interesting Tables - Test for German nick:
12 tables shown: 6 team, 4 tourney, 2 MBC
No player from my country listed
16 out of 48 players are star players

Take me to the first available seat - Test for German nick:
2 Robot partner
Poland
Other
no partner
2xIsrael
Italy
2xTurkey
Australia
USA

You can easily see the number of hits is ZERO!

Denying issues will not make them disappear.

Unfortunately this is no longer working.

Workaround1:
I only found a workaround that will never work perfect as you will only see players that you already saw before. You can give players from your country a special colour by assigning a category. When you do that each time you see one, the table list in the main bridge club will become more colourful from month to month showing those players.

How to assign a category?
Right mouse click at the name of the player
Select category
The first time when you do that you will have to define a category before you can assign it.

Workaround2:
When searching for SEF players you might take a look at the column "Details" in the table list of the main bridge club. Lot of French players type SEF in there. You can use the search field to find those tables

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Country is not the only criteria used to find interesting tables, it's just one of many factors. Other factors are:

Friends
Masterpoint ratings (the big number in your profile)
Language
Skill level (unless you set your skill to private)
No enemies

Country has the lowest weight of all these factors, but it's in there.
