Re: [Bug-gnubg] REQ - Auto-analyse then auto-add each match to

[Wayne Joseph]

Many thanks for supporting this feature request Michael.

I think that encouraging / enabling auto-population of the internal database
will in turn greatly enhance the usefulness of gnubg in terms of identifying
my (or any other individual's) repetitive weaknesses.

i.e. identifying a habit of taking cubes which are clear drops; or of
offering cubes slightly too early; or discovering if you repeatedly make a
disproportionate amount of errors at the beginning / middle / or the end of
your matches. 

e.g. From looking at my graphs every now and then, I suspect I make a
disproportionate amount of errors in the first game of whatever length match
for some reason. Nerves? Too creative? Overly aggressive / passive cube
strategy in game #1? It would be good to have the exact reason confirmed and
quantified by hard stats over hundreds or thousands of games. And even
better to be able to dial in and accurately measure any improvements to
specific areas of my gameplay over time.

Please keep us posted of any progress.. I hope it's ok if I check back in 3
months or so.

Feel free to let me know if you need any other info.

Kind regards,

WJ

Hello all,

Please could I request 2 features?

Is it possible to have an option check-box (or even a keyboard shortcut) to
auto-analyse each match after completion?

Also, is it possible to have an option check-box (or even a keyboard
shortcut) to auto-add each match to the internal database after analysis?

less-than-fun repetitive clicking after each match (of which one might play
thousands).

I would love to have a full database to run SQL queries on.

Please let us know thoughts on if and when this might be possible.

Many thanks.

WJ

We can it add it to the list of features being requested. No guarantee of
if/when it will be done. Although at one point I recall seeing a version
that analysed matches when it was over. I can't seem to figure when/where I
saw that.
