mpefritz Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I have 2 questions/suggestions: 1) I know this is a low priority, but on v.3.6.3 I cannot pre-post my CC for tournaments. Was this feature deleted? 2) Could the name of the .lin file that gets saved on the computer be changed from "tournament NUMBER DATE" to "DATE Tournament NUMBER". This is purely an ease of finding the record issue. I will remember which date I played the hands, but I will almost never remember the tournament number. Or is this a problem due to world-wide times? Along the same lines, is there a way to reset the score at a table without generating a new .lin file? I sometimes don't want to reset the score when a new opponent shows up as I will then be creating a new .lin file, but playing with the same partner. thanks, fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uday Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 1. We did remove the post-cc for reasons which are unclear to me. this capability will probably return (i think) at some point. I believe you can USE a cc during the 1st round and it (the cc) will folllow you around from table to table. 2. The tourney results are sorted in descending date order (most recent at the top). The rightmost column has the date in a more readable format. Long term answer is to avoid the use of this page and add the results to the bbo client so you dont need to use a separate web page to get to older tourney results.

mpefritz Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Sorry uday, i wasn't clear. In my folder BridgeBaseOnline/hands/mpefritz, BBO automatically saves all Open Bridge Club play as .lin files such as 02-29-04-01 etc. Each time the score is reset, it creates a new appendix (-02, -03...), which does get to be annoying when I play with the same partner and have changing opps. MY tournament hand records are automatically saved in the same folder as "Tournament NUMBER DATE".lin So when I go looking for MY tournament hand record on MY computer, it is with all the other tournaments (from all other days), and I need to sift through all the info to find the date at the end.. (I know i could also do a find function, but ...) However if the tournament were saved on my computer as "DATE Tournament NUMBER", it would be much easier to find the hand records later if I want to review them. I am much more likely to remember the tournament DATE I played than the NUMBER. I think this is a function of how the .lin files are named from BBOs side. Maybe others just sift through the tournament lin files or remember the event number so the system makes sense to them. this is a minor convenience issue, nothing else. thanks for your hard work here. fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uday Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Gotcha. I have made a note of this for FG. In the meantime, the windows screen that displays the files can possibly be configured (right click on empty space, view, details) to show dates, and also can be used to sort by date.

1eyedjack Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 May I add a request that where the date of the event is included in the filename of a .lin file saved locally, the format of the date (within the filename) should take the form yyyymmdd or yyyy-mm-dd or similar, so that if you sort the directory by filename it also sorts it by date? I don't expect this suggestion to get much support, but just in case ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
