How Do I Export Since "No Pages" Is BROKEN

DrRicherdKimble · 08-26-2018, 03:58 PM

I have to assume people like to get the entire FA pool into a spreadsheet. Problem is the game doesn't listen to the "no page" option when the pool of players is > some very large number. Even if you then filter down from said large number, it will not go back to one full list. You do this so you can write the report to disk, copy, and paste in excel and manipulate data to your liking.

Am I missing another way to get all the info out of the game?

One workaround I've found is to put the entire pool into a shortlist. Sometimes you still have to break it up into multiple shortlists, but I much prefer than than the hundreds of pages.

I would *so* love for this to be addressed.

For some reason that "large number" is now 4096 in OOTP19. In OOTP18 it was 8192. No idea what motivated that change, but 8192 was much easier to live with (although it would be better not to have a limit at all)

I have a 16-team league. If I include minor-leaguers I'm usually somewhere around 4096 players. As a work-around, if I'm just a few players over the limit (say 1-40 or so), I've been going into commissioner mode, sorting by age and then force-retiring the oldest minor-leaguers with 20-20 overall-potential until I'm under the limit.

Sometimes though I'm 200-300 players over the limit (usually just after the draft). In that case my work-around is to uncheck "include minor leaguers" then go league-by-league (majors, AAA, AA etc) for the export. Inconvenient, but doable.

Eventually, if this isn't fixed, I'll have to bite the bullet and do the work necessary to get what I need via the data export, but I'm still hoping I won't have to do this.

The change was to get rid of complaints from users with slower systems, 8192 made those screens unplayably slow for them.

Having said that, we will fix the report output when the page selector is displayed instead of scrollbars.

Yay! I really appreciate all the work you and your team do and how responsive you are to all of us (sometimes cantankerous) users.

Perhaps a new option, export to csv?

Any timeline on this?

Is this editable in app.cfg or some other file? If not, can we make it so in a future version?
