Notes Editor & Note Tracker improvments

[random]

Few things that could be improved:

Note Editor:
We already have buttons to add pre, flop turn river text, maybe we could have some more stuff? Theres room for atleast 2 more buttons =)

I would like to see a button to add info from current table, specifically table limit and size or tournament type:
For example: (could be done with checkboxes if we want to include table size/date/limit/tournament stage maybe etC)
NL10 FR (date):
$1 DoN 10m(date):

Note Tracker:
Could we get more variables to be entered automatically into note? Stack size, position, stake, bet size... Things like that

I'll make note of these suggestions for you.

If you had to come up with an ordering, which potential NoteTracker variables would you find most important? Please keep in mind that these can cause an explosion of data (e.g. if we did exact stack size in big blinds a 100BB stack and a 99.5BB stack and a 101.5BB stack would all be different stack sizes and would result in a lot of data!)

IS there any chance we can import the notes from Poker Stars or the various poker Sites???

[kraada]

That functionality has not been developed at this point in time.

Will everything recorded in the PT3 Note Editors transfer automatically to PT4? I have always used the poker site's note-taking feature instead of PT3's Note Editor, so is there any advantage to waiting until I upgrade to PT4 before I start writing stuff in Note Editor?

They should - we certainly would not want to make everyone who has used PT3's not feature out in the cold!

It would be nice if we could export / import notes (keyed on player name). Maybe it could export to an XML format or something like that.

That way, we can build new databases without losing notes, or even write our own scripts to import notes from poker clients or whatever.

I can't remember what the plan is for this but I will remind the development team about it.

This is an excellent idea. I add this as a manual note and being able to add it by clicking a button would be great.

The new automatic notes are excellent. In terms of priorities for improving, I would suggest including the effective stack size (by range) in automatically-generated notes. When I manually take notes, I include the approximate stack size, e.g., "[P]4BAI 99 (50bb)(x1), KK(300bb)(x1)"

As you indicate, it would probably be unworkable to have the note indicate the exact effective stack size, but a range would be useful. For example, in a cash game, something like the following might be a starting point: 30bb-, 30bb+, 75bb+, 100bb+, 150bb+, 200bb+, 300bb+, etc. Others with more experience than I might have better suggestions. I do think it is important to use the effective stack, which might make it a little trickier (especially multi-way, but in most cases the hand will be HU, so dealing with multi-way situations shouldn't be a priority).

Other variables are certainly options down the road - the question would be figuring out exactly where to break the divisions down and the best way to make it work. Stack size (or effective stack size) would definitely be a reasonable candidate eventually.
