Partnership Bidding: unusable .lin files

[jggimi]

I'm trying to use Partnership as a hand generation to build .lin files for later play -- set up constraints, use GIB in North, pop over to the movie editor, and save the hand.

 

When I set opps to host controlled or GIB, all four hands shows in the movie editor.

 

But ... when saved, the deal information is not in the resulting .lin file, the file is effectively empty and unusable.

 

I've searched through this subforum but haven't seen this particular issue reported or discussed.

 

Obviously, I have a circumvention, which is manually entering every card, I just find the p-bidding generator with the various constraint tools very helpful and would like to use it to set up hands for later play.

 

Suggestions would be welcome.

 

Here's an example of an "empty" .lin:

 

vg|title,segment,P,1,3,,0,,0|

rs|,1DN-8,,P,,P,|

pn|,,,,jggimi,jggimi,~~R2337gun,jggimi|

mp|,,,,,|

pw|,,,,,,,,,,,|pg||

i guess partnership bidding was not designed to create hands. whatever it is, i suggest to use dealmaster pro, jack or another suited device.
