Ted!
I would like to ask if it would be possible to get TOT add to the first page in that gap between
BRIS PP.................BLBLVDC

This gap[up] I don't know what to call that page <the first page> anyway ! I always would look at TOT rank. It would be nice AND I'm willing to pay for this to be put there. thank you for all the hard work you do I will NEVER FORGET that Friday night that BULL with Twin Spires happened nowhere ...nowhere that late at any other horse racing would you get a {REAL PERSON} but you were ready to help and and you fixed that pp bris deal and I was back handicapping races. you should BE PAIDED MORE FOR WHAT YOU DO I will pay you more when the time comes. this is a great product!!! thank you for your time. K.C.

Thanks!

So, with Tote access turned ON, the user needs to switch to the next race before a tote stream will be activated for that race? Rather than currently always polling for which is the current race regardless of whether it is displayed?

An anomaly I am trying to fix is that when tote data moves to the next race and you are still looking at the previous race screens, the data in those previous race screens switch to the data of the next/now current race - annoying! (You have to refresh the current screen by switching screens or resorting or something). If I just fix it so that doesn't happen, does that answer your request? I.e. tote still flows automatically for the NEXT race behind the scenes and is ready to view only when you switch to that particular race.

Next update - soon.

Hi Ted,

May I raise the issue of the total data download with the Excel export or perhaps another export button. Button 1 for the existing export and Button 2 for all data?
Thank you!

Sure! Meanwhile, be sure you are familiar with what horse PP and Analysis data RDSS already exports to Excel. Not in the best of formats, and that needs work, but several folks make exactly the use of it I suspect you are looking for:

In the Config file (use the Config screen button), in the [General] section, add the lines (or modify if it exists):

//Export some Cache files in Excel Format (0 = No 1 = Yes)
Cache_format_excel=1

Now when you assemble races, go to the Cache Folder for each race and look for XLSX files. The file names should identify the contents. For all PP lines for all horses, check (e.g. for GP 4/1 Race 1):

Folder: C:\RDSS22\Data\Cache\2023\GP\20230401\01
File: GP_20230401_01_PL_MASTER.xlsx

Right now you can get Analysis data, all horses PP lines data, Entries screen data. Start with that in the existing format, and I'll get something prettier in due course.

Good luck!

Ted


P.S. when I released the current 'emergency update' I might have mentioned that documentation was incomplete, as well as several components I had nearly ready (this data export not among them, but at least the above documentation and file layout). Still shooting for all that in April!

Thank you very much for the detailed reply Ted,

I think I'll wait for the update. This is the sort of amendment that I would be nervous of doing myself just incase I messed anything up with RDSS. I'm sure it will be fine, but I'd rather not.

Thanks again.
