4.1 BETA (since build 432)

[Guest]

Thanks Stan. Found it , did the adjustment , & it works fine now.

[stan]

build 444 is now available for download with the following updates:

bug fixes:
* some small fixes in the group filters
* added a check for circular references in compound/group filters (prevents situations when filter A has sub-filter B and filter B has sub-filter A)

new features:
* printing & export in filter stats window

warning: from this build on a new format for compound and group filters is used. the filters are now stored in xml format which is much more flexible so there won't be any errors while loading filters database when some filters are extended or modified.

Could someone tell me how to show images of the software on this forum? Sure would make it easy to explain things.

just use the 'attach file' option and browse the image you wish to post. it'll be displayed inline in your post under these conditions:
# Must have a filename extension of {jpg, jpeg, gif, png}
# Must not be more than 100.000 bytes in size
# Must not be more than 750 pixels in width
# Must not be more than 600 pixels in height

Stan, the Match Winning Numbers Filter (standalone) doesn't seem to work. It just locks up the program. I tried smaller amounts of combos in package but get the same results. Could you check it out? Using the latest build.

Match file filter where the file has dummy numbers doesn't work at all: Invalid field: Ticket Number=88

i can't reproduce the problem.

can you pls check the 'error.log' file for possible error message and give more info?

'dummy numbers' are from the range '99 - down' so unless you have a lottery where you bet at least 12 numbers then number '88' will be always reported as out of range.

The following is my log, but it doesn't show anything that I see and it did the same thing just minutes before I copied this log.

Stan , I tried in previous versions match file filter for some keno and it was extremely fast - generating (filtering) thousands of tickets per second even for a quite big match files. With this newer versions it seems it's drastically slower even for smaller lotteries - generating just a few tickets per second. In your opinion how fast generating -filtering tickets with using match file filter should be?

i don't have any benchmark data.

the speed really depends on the 'match' you're looking for. for example looking for 'match 3' or 'match 2' is generally very fast as it is very likely to be found at the beginning of the match file.
on the other hand looking for 'match 10' or 'match 9' (keno lotteries) is much slower because it's less probable that such a match will be found in the match file. it means that the whole (or almost whole) match file must be scanned for each ticket in the package.

but if you can see lower filtering performance for the same match settings in the last build than in the previous builds then it's a bug and i'll try to fix it.

unfortunatelly the error log doesn't indicate much besides some problems with import of text files into the application.

can you pls post the exact match settings you are using in the filter window as well as the winning numbers selection (and the number of wn tickets selected)?

is this error reproducible or did it happen just once?

[Maryland]

Stan, I can use the ticket generator and 10 numbers which is 252 tickets hit the match winning numbers filter and I don't even get the popup box for the filter to pick anything just a hour glass. Going to redownload the last build and try again, maybe it was corrupted on download.
