Refresh Option

[Repo]

When I do a Refresh from the Cash Games section and it happens that I'm in the Reports section, the program does the refresh for the players on the left (which is what I want) but also does the Report Refresh. To make it short, I lose my displayed report and time.

Now, if I want to refresh the report after, I can just click on Run Report.

Can this be fixed?

Thank you for everything.

PS: Ok, it's the same thing when we click to sort the Icons on the left. The report fires up aqain.

The "Refresh" button refreshes everything; your report should be coming back up normally as well as the list of players on the left.

Ok thanks, I'll try to find a work arround.

Can you explain exactly what the problem is?
The Refresh button is there to refresh the data..

If you want to keep the previous reportwhen you switch to another player you can Expand it to another window by clicking the little 4-arrow icon to the right.

I'm working on my Autorate rules trying out all kinds of combinations. It takes a lot of processing time. When I click the Icon Sort button or Refresh, I don't like seeing my report disappear and start re-compiling. It's a thing I have.

The report is actually working at the same time as the main data (on the left). I don't see how the report can work if the main data isn't even there yet; unless the report works directly in the DB? They're working both at the same time? The report section should be like a stand alone. I though the Run Report was there for that.

What you're suggesting is some kind of work around. My work around is to change the Report name to clear it and it doesn't fire the compiling of anything in there (when refreshing the main list); a great tip if you want to stop a report from compiling. A Stop right there would be great by the way.

I asked (a while back) for a way to filter by hands. I only want the players that have played over 100 or 200 hands so that I can test my rules using the report system. What I got was another work around by filtering by date to lower the number of players (65,000 at the time). It works, but not what I really need. I have to put a filter (#HANDS# >= 100) in the report itself and that's more time consuming because of the number of records the report as to go trough. The report is going trough players that have only played 5 hands.

I'm just trying to put together the best Auto Rate rules possible but with all those obstacles, it’s taking me weeks!

Please take this into consideration. After all, what is the program for?

Thank you.

When you click the refresh button, it re-runs all different reports that are open. The "main window" as you refer to it on the left really is just another report; that report just shows the players in the player list that are available. It is gathered concurrently with the report in the Reports tab.

If you just click the Run Report button though it'll just re-run your custom report and not refresh the player list on the left and thus the report will finish slightly faster.

When you have a custom report that has a filter like #Hands# > 100, of course PT3 is going to have to check to see which players meet these criteria. How else should PT3 do it?

Yes, if you read my last post, I know all this (now). And I specified that I found a work around about the report firing up again for nothing; by changing the report name before doing the Refresh and all of this. No report compiles that way. That's a good thing.

Now what about that filter for the main list? The number of hands needed to work with reports. There are approximately 800 SWITCHES to work with and not one of them for the number of hands played (per player).

176 for Hole Cards
172 for Made Hands
24 for Draws
100 for Actions
63 for Facing
241 for Texture
25 for Misc

How about one for the number of hands played? I'm not talking rocket science here. Read my last post. It’s all in there.

It takes too long to go trough all the DB with players that only played 5 to 25 hands or so. You can not create an accurate report with those players into equation.

I’m sorry if this sounds aggressive but I don’t know how to explain this any other way.

If you add in the filter #Hands# > X to the custom report, that report will filter only for players that have the specific number of hands you choose.

I'll look into adding filters to the Misc tab for players who have played X hands for certain default values.

Thank you very much. That would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be looking forward to it in the next versions to come.

from my previous post.

I'm not sure how else you would want the report to work if it didn't look through all players to see who match the criteria. Say you set it to #Hands# > 1000, and then you played a session then came back and refreshed the report. Without checking all players how could PT3 know which players passed the 1000 hand threshhold in the meantime?
