Auto Import (MacOS/Darwine)

[OneNonly]

Just a FYI - I've been testing PT3 using Darwine and it works very well. Just a few "quirks" I've noticed:

Auto Import randomly stops - sometimes 5 new hands are imported then it just stops. Stop Auto Import and Start again - it picks up the missed hands fine.

Auto Import doesn't detect new tables. If you join a new table again, you have to Stop/Start the Auto Import process.

I know you're not focusing on Mac support at the moment - but I found this interesting as I haven't noticed the same behaviour under wine on Linux. (However - I haven't tried Auto Importing any hands in the most recent beta under linux yet..)

Edit: Oh and the Import History window doesn't show up under Darwine but does on Linux.

Thanks for the status report. It's interesting to note which things don't work properly.

Update for Beta 5.

Switching to any tab causes a "Timer Creation Failed" event under both Linux (Wine - most recent version) and Mac (Darwine 0.9.53)
While tedious to constantly "ok" - the application still behaves as expected. Is there a way to enable debugging mode where I may be able to pass on more info, or should I try doing this through wine?

Standard error does log two errors upon start up:
fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
fixme:ntdll:find_reg_tz_info Can't find matching timezone information in the registry for bias -600, std (d/m/y): 6/04/2008, dlt (d/m/y): 5/10/2008.

Using Aussie time format (d/m/y) on my system - and I don't seem to have any errors in PT3 sorting on dates etc- so doubt that's anything to worry about.
But not sure if the Common-Controls could be the cause of the timer errors. I've tried adding comctl32.dll from an XP machine into wine system32 folder - and even the PT3 folder. Running wine in warning+file mode - I could see it looking for:

warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls.dll" not found in /home/onenonly/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/PokerTracker 3
warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls.manifest" not found in /home/onenonly/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/PokerTracker 3
warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls\\Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls.dll" not found in /home/onenonly/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/PokerTracker 3
warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls\\Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls.manifest" not found in /home/onenonly/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/PokerTracker 3
fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"

- So I created a symlink from comctl32.dll to Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls.dll - and the initial error of not finding the file Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls.dll went away - but I still get the "Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" message. Could you check the reference to the library in your IDE isn't asking for some strange explicit path to those libraries?

Auto Import dropping out persists on Mac - not tested under linux as yet.

This is still just a FYI - and I don't expect any support for running under these platforms - but I know I'm not the only user trying - and if it's a simple fix, it would be great (Now that Microsoft's Virtual PC program is free, you could always install linux on a VM and test it out fairly quickly.. if this is somethign you want to try and don't know how - feel free to email me or something).
