New beta version of Bet Angel v1.64.0 beta1

[jamesedwards]

Thanks for adding the ability to tag bespoke order refs to bets.

It would be extremely useful if it was possible to add the order ref as a lookup when storing values of matched/unmatched bets of a selection/in a market.

Out of interest, are you planning on tagging multiple bets with the same order ref?

Is there any likelihood of this amendment making it into the final release of this version? If not then I need to do a load of work to try and circumvent it and I'd rather not bother if this feature is likely to be available soon.

I had an occasional (about once in twenty) issue with the previous v1.63.0 that seems to be remedied so far with v1.64.0_b1.

When opening a market from Guardian into the main screen, the market selections were not visible in the One-click screen but were visible in the Ladder screen. Even when going back to the One-click screen there were no market selections visible. The only was to solve it was to close BA then re-open and hope the issue was gone. It only happened perhaps once in twenty times.

So far I've not encountered that issue with v1.64.0_b1.

I have noticed a minor bug in 1.64 that I have not seen before. I sometimes get 2 Rules as blue in the rule editor. I can move around one of them but the other I can not. And if clicking on it I cant enter it so to speak. Only way to get rid of it is to open another file and then reopen the old file.

EDIT I need to shut down and then restart Betangel to get it off

Besides from that I love the changes!

Yes - you should be able to filter the matched / unmatched bet querying in Stored Values by an order ref in the next few weeks. It was something we'd thought about adding anyway, but ran out of time for beta1.

Just to confirm, you're seeing that in the top list of the Automation Rules Editor that allows selection of individual rules? One of them being permanently highlighted and the other moving as you select a rule? We'll look out for that.

Does it happen often?

Next time it occurs, try saving the rule file as a new name (so that you've got a copy you can play with) and then add a new rule to see if that clears it, then try to delete all the rules in the list, so see if you can actually remove all of them or whether the original highlighted one is stuck in the file.
i.e Generally mess about with the editor to see if anything makes the second highlight go away.

Also is there a pattern to the issue - e.g. is it always the first one in the list that is stuck highlighted? Does it have the Rule Name, Times and Description populated or is that blank?
Thanks.

Great news. Thanks

Its one being permanently highlighted and if I change automation file the same (same as if the 7th from the top gets higlighted it is also the 7th from the top on next automation file) stay highlighted and not possible to enter.

Will do the tests you are describing, thank you

timeline estimation on general release for this?

Ladder
New option to 'Lock the Green all toolbar button' to make it read-only and prevent accidental activation (General page of Ladder Settings).

Thanks for adding this de-activation/activation feature to the Settings >> Ladder >> General tab >> Lock green all toolbar button.

Just wondered at this early stage of 1.64.0_b1 whether a small cosmetic change could be made for clarity and consistency and to avoid any inadvertent errors?

The green all rectangular button is positioned immediately to the right of the enhanced, global settings and greening calculation buttons. When any of those squares are active they have a thin black box around them but when they have are not active they have a thin red cross through them confirming at a glance as to whether the option is active or inactive.

To avoid any in-play errors, please could the green all toolbar rectangle button also feature the same thin black line around it when it is active and the same thin red cross when it is inactive still leaving the setting change in the general tab.

This would help when using different screen layouts and settings as nothing worse than thinking it is active or inactive when the opposite is true.

Thanking you in advance

Most likely early November. We're happy that no bugs have been found in beta 1, so you could use that as a general release version.

We'll be releasing beta 2 with a few enhancements in the interim (it's being tested now) and that'll need a couple of weeks to prove itself before general release.

Nope, we can't do that as it's a different type of button. The buttons with the red X are toggle buttons with on/off states, each with a different icon. The Green All button is a standard push button that displays text (the current green-all value), and when we lock it, we disable it so that it doesn't highlight with a button frame when the mouse hovers over it.
All I can suggest is that you have two ladder settings profiles (one for locked and one unlocked) and use a label in the Additional Info area to display LOCKED for that particular settings profile. Or you could change the colour of the Ladder Odds column for that profile, so you've got a clear indicator which profile you're using.

OK, no problem - thanks for your prompt reply
