Number groups in V5

Hi Stan I am using a lotto system that has 6 balls drawn each week from a possible total of 40 balls. In Expert Lotto version 4, when using the number groups filter, set to 20 groups, if I clicked on "customise" it would automatically spread the number groups evenly over the total 40 numbers. ( i.e. 1-2 would be group number one, 3-4 would be group number two, 5-6 would be group number three etc). However, when I try the same in version 5 it does not spread the 20 groups evenly over the 40 numbers. Instead it goes :- 1-2 (group one), 7-8 (group two), 21-22 (group three), 27-28 (group four), 12-13 (group five), 9-10 (group six), & all the remaining groups are numbered 1-40. When using "customise" in the group filter, I assume the number groups filter in V5 should do the same as v4 does ? I'm not sure if this is a glitch, or me not used to v5 ?

first choose the count of the groups, then adjust the range of each group

Hi Stan Tried that. In version 4 it seems to "automatically" adjust the numbers in each group according to the total amount of groups you select. (i.e. you don't have to go to each group & adjust the numbers in it). Whereas in v5 you have to adjust the numbers in each group ( rather time consuming to go through this each time you want to use a 20 or more number group). Is it possible to make v5 work the same way that v4 does?? Many thanks Stan.

Hi Viking
Thanks for that. Interesting that you come across the same problem. The way version 4 works is certainly less time consuming & easier to use. Hopefully Stan can rectify it without having to spend too much time on it. :)

Hi Stan

Just wondering if you have had time to look at the above problem regarding number groups in version 5. (it still appears to have the same problem). It's mainly because I have started using version 5 far more, & use number groups a lot, & would like to be able to use the number groups "customise" button like we did in version 4. Thanks Stan.

no, i'm still working on application's documentation so that we can release expert lotto 5 officially and start adding new features then.
