GrandPrix Race Manager Version 8.0 Released
GrandPrix Race Manager™ Version 8.0 has just been released! Several new features have been added along with many improvements to make the software easier to use and more versatile.
To find out more, please visit GrandPrix Software Central's GrandPrix Race Manager page at http://grandprix-software-central.com/gprm/.
Here's a summary of what's new:
Racer Photos - Added support for using photos for each racer (or their race vehicle). Photos will be displayed in the Racing, On Deck, Track Record, Heat Winner, Roster and Awards/Standings screens. Image column is hidden if the photo feature is not enabled.
Collated Schedules - Added ability to collate group schedules for a round into a single master schedule. Racers won't have to wait for their group's turn to race and they will only face racers within their race group.
Exclude Racers from Standings - Added ability to exclude a racer from the standings but still allow them to race.
Heat Winners - Added a Heat Winners tab. When a heat is complete, this tab will automatically show the information for the winner of a heat, their results and their photo (if photo feature enabled).
Data File Merge - Added a utility that will merge the data from two data files.
and much, much more...
For a detailed list of changes, see http://grandprix-software-central.com/g ... ts_new.php
If you have any questions or comments, please email or PM me.
Thanks,

Without having to actually purchase the software, can you give a quick run down on what you mean by 'Made serial port communication routines more robust.'? I'm building a custom USB timer and am currently running Version 7.0

If there is a loss of communications, for whatever reason, the software will try to reestablish communications when you try using the timer next.altontoth wrote:Without having to actually purchase the software, can you give a quick run down on what you mean by 'Made serial port communication routines more robust.'?

Some users with bluetooth devices installed were having problems with the way Windows was reporting which COM ports existed on the computer. Some non-sensical characters ended up on the end of the port number, which caused an error to occur in the software.
Those are a couple of the changes off the top of my head. There were other optimizations implemented.

Re: GrandPrix Race Manager Version 8.0 Released
have you designated a place in the forum for gathering suggestions for future features?
(If this feature does not exist yet )
I would like to suggest a feature that allows the photos to be inserted from a webcam or reg cam tethered to the PC for race day photo insertion "onthefly".

No. You can just email or PM me with any suggestions. We also have a feedback form at http://grandprix-software-central.com/gprm/feedback.php.pack529holycross wrote:have you designated a place in the forum for gathering suggestions for future features?
DerbyDMV can capture photos directly from a webcam or video camera. I will consider that feature for GPRM V9.pack529holycross wrote:(If this feature does not exist yet )

Ok.. so if im using derby DMV, I can set up to capture pics at the registration table, and the software will put those photos with the data into GPRM?

You can enter your roster into DerbyDMV and then capture a snapshot for each racer direct from a webcam or video camera. You can then export that data to a CSV file and then import it into GPRM. The location of the image file for each racer will also transfer over to GPRM.pack529holycross wrote:Ok.. so if im using derby DMV, I can set up to capture pics at the registration table, and the software will put those photos with the data into GPRM?
