Thanks for your help

An option to set whether or not you want the scrambles in the "pretty text export" and an option to copy averages like cstimer would be very nice.

Scrambles will be included in pretty text output in the next version. Here is the current format, which may be adjusted slightly

Generated by Block Keeper on Sun Jul 23 2017
Solves: 20/20
Mean: 21.49
Median: 21.22
σ(s.d): 2.25
1. 19.46 (U' L2 U F2 U' L2 R2 B2 D2 L2 D' L' B F R' U' B D2 F R2 B )
2. 21.03 (U2 L F2 D B2 L' D2 B' U R' F2 U L2 F2 L2 U F2 R2 D F2 B2 )
....

I also wanted to include average information when you hover over results, which you could copy then to share. I'll see about adding that soon.

Version 1.1.0 is released and TONS of your feature requests are here!
Available at https://dallasmcneil.com/projects/blockkeeper/

- New event statistics tool, showing event bests compared to current times and averages
- Added best time announcements with confetti, shown when best time in the event is beaten
- Time list when clicking on mean or average results
- Added option, requiring a split key to be held down during OH solves
- Added option to use primary mouse button as main timer key
- Inspection available when using a Stackmat timer
- Inspection disabled during BLD events
- Added option to align scramble text left, right or center
- Removed 3x3x3 FM and 3x3x3 MBLD event support
- Additional session data security
- Various bug fixes and performance improvements

Sorry this took so long to come out, but I just kept adding things and university is keeping me busy. I hope to try and provide more regular updates in the future.

3x3x3 FM and 3x3x3 MBLD have been removed because they never really fit into the timer. You don't store times for these events and the statistics provided are not relevant. I will consider creating seperate applications for these in the future. If you have any suggestions, please contact me about it, I would love to hear them.

Really nice update, the timer is pretty much perfect now. The only thing that I feel is missing now is the option to have scrambles for sessions in the "other" tab.

Great update, the best timer keeps getting better! One thing I'd like to see is a split function for BLD.

Thanks! Could you please explain what you mean by split controls for blind? I'm not quite sure what you mean.

I have a request re: the video recording of solves. The video ends abruptly as the solve ends. It would be nice to have it roll on for another second or two. Also if you're using the inspection timer the video recording starts when the inspection timer starts so that you get the entire solve including inspection.

Can add an option for that in the future.

Sorry my question wasn't that clear. What I mean is an option to get time splits for memo and execution.

Being able to toggle scrambles in the time list for averages and means would also be appreciated, megaminx averages look reeeally messy with the scrambles.

I have had some weird freezes with the timer when timing sq1. It would not react to me pressing the spacebar and would not let me close the timer with the close window button (had to alt+F4) The time however would be visible when I reopened the timer. (Im not sure if it was the actual time because I have the hide timer while solving box checked)

That is weird. Does it only occur with sq1 and is it your most popular event? If it isn't your most popular event and it is only freezing on sq1 then it might be an issue with the scrambler, but I'm not sure until I know more. thanks.

Nice update. Has a request:
An option to manually input scramble in session.
-Not the cstimer kind that can only input scrambles in the 'input tab', what I want is like I can input scrambles in (for example, 3x3x3). I need that function so I can add scrambles for my online competition.
Good job!

I want to redo the whole tool section, it's really inflexible and graph stacking would be pretty cool. I'm just a bit busy with university work right now, but I have a break coming up soon.

I really like this timer! The only problem is I don't know what the # (random letter) mean for changing text colors, and that means I don't know how to change text color. Could you help?
