Prisma Puzzle Timer

Prisma has been running perfectly fine until recently. For some reason, it seems that it wont play any sound when 8 or 12 seconds of inspection have passed. I can't seem to find any similar problems in this thread. It's gets annoying when I have to look up to check how much inspection time I have left and waste a bit of my time.

EDIT I tried deleting and downloading prisma again but that didn't help...
 
I dunno about you guys, but PPT bugs me every time I'm doing 4x4 and I see a scramble with something like u d' that doesn't really accomplish anything. Anyone know if there's a setting I can change or something to make it scramble more like qqTimer where the scrambles only use <r, u, f> so that none of those cases come up?

It accomplishes a y which imo is something.

Wasn't a dev version released that fixed that?
 
Hey Walter i was wondering if you planned on coming out with a new version of PPT because the new Stackmat Pro Generation 3's dont work when you plug them in. Also if you make those work could you add a option for timing to be 0.xyz or 0.xy not just the 0.xy?? if anyone knows how to get gen 3's to work please tell me!

I tried asking for that earlier in the thread, no reply from Walter :/
 
1) I have two seperate *.db files - is it possible to merge them? If so, how?

2) Walter, about a year ago (8.19.2011) you published the beta version of 'Prisma Timer 0.5' and told us that you were trying to publish the final version 0.5 one week later. Unfortunately that never happened. Does this mean that you gave up on updating your timer? Just asking out of curiousity - and I could imagine there were quite a few people interested in continuing the projext (...not me).

That's true nickvu2 - although a totally renewed version probably wasn't bad as I am - after switching to Win7 Pro 64 - experiencing problems with the space bar, the scrambler and the times getting displayed properly.
 
Hello guys! Long time no see, huh?

Prisma 0.6 is finally out. This release includes some important changes that I have been postponing since version 0.3 (better main window layout, internationalization, performance improvements).

Fixed bugs:

  • Partially hidden scrambles in main window
Polishing:
  • Ok and cancel buttons size and position follow platform guidelines
  • Better focus traversal
  • Shorter Stackmat timer delay
  • Hands and time grow/shrink filling available space
  • Main window displays 00:00.00 on Stackmat timer reset
  • Session average in main window
  • Time in minutes on graph, histogram and session summary
  • Number of solves in history window
  • Confirm dialogs on delete operations
  • Select session / select none buttons

Enjoy!
 
Looks good! I'll play with it more later today.

EDIT: Still some bugs. There aren't any bleeps at 8 and 12 secs in inspection, and sometimes, it doesn't work properly at start up. Can I recommend an 8x8 scrambler for the future?
EDIT 2: And FCN notation for Skewb?

Hi, I just recieved my QJ timer 3rd gen wich has a port to connect it with my pc. It works fine with CCTimer wich has corrections for it. Can i do something for it to work with Prisma ? I searched in the .jar file and found .class files named Stackmat, Can't i just simply change some values in those files to fit with the QJ timer ?
