Sorry, I did not try it. I always either did not kibitz at all, or, if I kibitzed, I did it until the end of the tourney and did not touch the results of other boards before that.

Before I start kibitzing everything is ok, of course.

I was able to replicate the bug. It will be fixed in the next version.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I tried to do this in handviewer and save it MY hand Folder.
It shows as 2009-6-15.
Then I tried to load this in teaching table and checked thru GIB to see the results.
Then I saved it as new hand with variations of plays.
Link to the hand only. 5C Hand
It shows as 2009-6-15 with different time.

Is it not supposed to show 2009-7-15 today's date?

Every hand you save has a title associated with it. The purpose of the title is to help make it easier for you to find a given hand from a long list of hands.

If you do not provide a title, the software will create one for you based on the date when you saved the file.

If you later save a new copy of the hand the default is to use the same title as the original copy. If you want the software to create a title based on a the date in which the hand was re-saved, get rid of the old title when you "save-as".

I just created a hand and saved it and it creates a one month older name.

I see what you mean now.

Turns out Flash considers months to be zero-based (January=0, February=1...). I will fix it in the next version.

Thanks for noticing and reporting this.

There is a little bug in the bidding table. Here is the situation I encountered. Other players are robots. Normally you can press undo and take back your previous bids. Say, you bid 5 rounds and want to change your very first bid. If you click undo multiple times repeatedly to get back to your first bid (impatiently, e.g. 4 clicks in a second), the bidding choices in the bottom right corner disappears and you can't bid anymore with the current deal, you need to redeal... If you wait for the confirmation "undo accepted" after each undo click, there isn't a problem.

I was not able to replicate this problem, but I think I understand why it might happen in some circumstances.

There will be another version coming out before too long (likely within a few weeks). When that happens we will announce it in Forums. If you notice that announcement and don't mind trying to force the bug to happen again and letting me know if the problem still exists, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Hello,
The bug I reported in the comments thread 6 still seems to exist. It usually happens when I use my touchpad in my laptop, the "impatient" tapping may simulate a higher clicking rate. I uploaded the screenshots before and after undo.

Thanks for sticking with this - as usual, a picture is worth 1000 words.

The problem will be fixed in the next version.

In the mean time, you can get around the problem by removing and then adding one of the robots when the table is in this state.

I tried to use chat to give an url to my partner, but did not succeed because the url contained a ~ character. The ~ was replaced by a blank, thereby splitting the url.

Sorry - there is not much I can do about this.

~ is one of several characters that are "control characters" in the Windows client. Such characters need to be eliminated from all chat messages. In principle we could do this eliminating, as needed, on the receiving end. However, that sort of change is not going to happen (sorry).

I don't know if it's a bug or a feature-request but suit symbols (!S,!H,!D,!C) don't work in the "describe claim" field in the flash client. Writing "you get !SA" produced that literal text, exclamation mark and all where I was hoping for "you get ♠A" like in chats and alerts.

in the hand editor, is there a way to make minor changes to newly created deals or saved deals, or do you have to create from scratch? I wanted to change the position of two honors in a deal but I couldn't find a way to edit after 4 hands are dealt.

Some of the fill-in fields in the ACBL CC don't allow enough characters. In "Leb ____ Denies", there only 3 characters are allowed, so you can't write "slow" or "fast" (what else would you want to write there?). And in "Systems on over", I wanted to write "X, Artificial 2C", but I had to cram it into "X,Art2C".

It is basically the same size as on a paper card. You either write in "F" for fast or "S" for Slow. What else would you want to put there?

For my printed convention cards I use Lee Edwards's ACBL Editor app, and it's able to fit the entire word "Fast" or "Slow" in there. Most of its fields allow you to put as much text as you want, and it will overflow the field into the surrounding display area to accomodate it.

In the latest version there is enough room for "fast" or "slow" in that space.

Other spaces are able to accomodate more text now too.

Occasionally as a TD, I will get a private message from a player asking for a board to be reviewed.

If this chat comes via private message, there is no easy mouse navigation route to the Results Pane via the chat window. I find I must either use keyboard entry to type in the player's name in the director screen or use rightclick form the chat window to join the player's table where rightclick then allows me to bring up the results pane. I suspect this issue might exist because the rightclick operation is not set up to recognize that you are a TD and this person is in one of the tournaments you are running and so the option to go to "Player's Results" would not exist on every rightclick operation.

Another option I have used to get to the results pane is to find out at which table the player is playing and navigate to that table in the table list where full rightclick options are available. But finding the persons current table while straightforward it is somewhat cumbersome.

If the rightclick menu could be dynamically changed to allow the rightclick of a name in the chat window to have the "Player's Results" option when appropriate, it would save time by eliminating that extra step on multiple occasions.

Can a mouseover on the title of a tournament on the Director Pane Tournament listing be programmed to bring up the Identification information of a Tournament after a nominal delay?

Currently the only way to find this information is to go into Edit mode which is time consuming, overkill and a waste of resources if you just want to view the information.

Even a right click menu option on the title to bring up Identification box would be a step in the right direction.

Hi Don,

Can you please be more specific about the information you would like to see?

Would the "description" of the tournament be sufficient?

Thanks,

In principle this is possible but...

If a TD is involved in more than one running tournament (which I believe is frequently the case for ACBL TDs like you), there is no easy way for the software to know which tournament a "player's results" request should pertain to.

I will give this some more thought - I understand the problem from your point of view and maybe I can find a way to solve it...
