The next update of Poker Copilot will have a new filter in the “More” drop-down menu: the ability to filter by hands where a specific player was at the table:
So, for example, I can filter for all hands where player XYZ was sitting in at the table. It doesn’t matter if XYZ folded pre-flop, took down the hand, or anything in between. As long as the player is at the table for the hand, the hand will be included in the filter.
This filter is for ring games only for now. If feasible I may add it for tournaments later.
If the player filter is used, screen updates will take much longer than usual. That’s because what Poker Copilot does to make this feature available is quite complex.
You’ll need to be a computer programmer to appreciate this. IntelliJ IDEA 10, the best dang programmer’s editor there ever was, has witty “Drag to install” artwork:
A great product largely because they understand the importance of the getting the small things right.
Some users – perhaps all using Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) – have reported unusual rendering problems in Poker Copilot. Here’s a couple of example screenshots:
I believe I’ve located the problem and hope to have an update with a fix available tomorrow.
I didn’t want to release already because there are a couple of rendering issues some people have been having with 2.70 that I haven’t tracked down yet. And the player icons are sill not ready for prime-time. But Full Tilt Poker has forced me into action. Expect another update in the next few days.
What’s Changed:
Fix for changed Full Tilt Poker hand history format
Player Icons, in experimental form. By default this is turned off, (unless you have already tried the unofficial 2.70 release). You can turn it on in the Head-up Display Preferences.
The tournament “Buy-in” filter now splits into multiple menus if you have played in more than 20 different buy-ins. This resolves a long-standing issue where you couldn’t select some buy-ins if you had too many in the list.
PokerStars Cap Limit tables are supported
Fix for long-running tournaments where players are betting tens of millions of chips at a time.
The latest update of Full Tilt Poker has changed the way dates and times are stored in the hand history files. They now show the user’s time and timezone, rather than Full Tilt’s servers’ time and timezone.
This should be a straight-forward fix. I’m working on a fix and hope to release it later today.
Now the icons each have a name. I also turned on the colours in the rules:
Making the rules colourful was fun – as far as computer programming goes. Not as much fun as riding roller coasters or spending an evening in the pub with good friends, but I think you understand what I mean. I don’t think the benefits justified the time I spent on it, though. Which is why I love being the boss and sole employee. If I want to distract myself briefly doing something for fun but without financial justification, that’s okay. I don’t need to beg for permission or subvert company policies and processes. It’s good to be self-employed!
Nothing. For now. I’ve been waiting for Apple to release XCode 4, which promises to make working with Objective-C significantly nicer. Once it is released I hope to finish off this little side project.

It’s not an official release. The icons are currently not good enough. They are mostly various things I’ve borrowed temporarily from various websites or drawn myself, until I get a pro to design them for me. But if you want to try out Poker Copilot with the player icons, you can get download a sneak preview here.
To customise the rules, go to the Poker Copilot Preferences, choose the “Head-up Display” panel, and click on “Configure player icons”.
The default rules are borrowed directly from Hold’em Manager:
