Preview of vesion 5.12

Hi Stan.

I'm running the 5.12 version from the website download page. When I added the plugin source links, it is still not installing anything.

Example. For the "Automation" plugin(and similar for other plugins) the app log says; INFO [org.netbeans.core.startup.NbEvents]: Warning: the module C:\Program Files\Expert Lotto 5\modules\com-expertlotto-automation.jar could not be found, ignoring...

Email me your application log please.

I hope I fixed the additional plugins setup so please give it another shot.

Also please download the dev build zip file again, I had to again make some changes that are not possible to distribute over online update.

Hi Stan. Thank you for fixing the plugin installers.

The plugins are now working in the "DEV" version and the "Release" version of 5.12. However, in the "Release" version, the user will have to manually add the URL's for the "TimMac" and "Experimental" plugins under the "Additional Plugins Updates" tab.

Correct, those are undocumented features so it would be almost impossible to understand how those extra plugins work. Those who find this forum can also find the update center links and the discussions behind the extra plugins.

Does this mean the 'Plugins' feature will no longer be used for community plugins in 5.12? There are many plugins that would remain hidden without the update center info, because searching for the terminology used in some of the plugins can vary a lot from the program documentation.

No, anyone capabable reading through this forum can find those additional UC URLs, add them to their Expert Lotto installation and install the plugins. I just don't want them to be available by default for everybody.

Thanks to tdnl46w for a very detailed explanation on how to upgrade to ver 5.2 and keep all old backup complex filters and databases. Happy to confirm all up and running on the new version, only complaint still not getting the winning numbers on every draw !!!

Hi Andrew Warren.

Glad it helped. Same here, I'm getting lots of winning numbers just not on the same ticket(lol).

High Stan,
I have installed a version 5.12 and having a problem with a format of exporting tables. According to the help menu it should be 2 output formats:
CSV text file and MS Excel xlm. On my exporting tables option is only one: CSV text file. It causes that about 25% of column are in a wrong format.
Eg. data of text 5-0-1 comes in date format, Odd/Even in a format 4:02, Number Range in a format 6-Oct.
Before on a version 5.11 on 2 my computers (Windows 10 and Excel with Office 2010, Windows 11 and Excel with office 365) I have not got any problems.
Once I have installed Ver.5.12 on the same machines (previous Ver.5.11 uninstalled) a problem started as above.
Any idea or help? All data over years I have gathered comparing prediction vs last draw will be ruined.

Please email me your application log file from your Expert Lotto 5.12. An option to export to XLS/X format is included in the default app distribution and it should just work.

I have sent a required application log file assuming that e-mail of yours (I have) is correct.
