I have reinstalled my OS and now and doing everything fresh.

Does it matter how your auto import folders are set up, as I can use HEM filters to find info, or is there a good way vs not so good way to set this up? If I wanted to find a particular HH, it was sometime a bit hard.

Anyway, any folder/auto Import folder set up tips are appreciated.

Really it doesn't matter. Auto-Import should do everything you need it to unless you have HH's coming in to some folder that wouldn't normally be picked up For example, when I play away from my desktop, I use DropBox to upload the HH files to my desktop, and they are automatically uploaded because I added a folder manually.

I think what you're talking more about is the Archiving Folder, where HEM backs up the actual HH text file. For the most part, all this is going to do is take up hard drive space. If you're really afraid of losing the data, just back up your database every so often, you can even make it automated with some programs and scripts, but I won't go there. As for finding a specific hand history, if you're trying to look through the actual HEM program, it has absolutely nothing to do with how your import folders are set up.

Hope that helps bud.

Yes, thanks.

yea, I was more thinking in terms of archiving. I tried to separate FT from PS from 888 etc, but I guess that doesent matter. I just had em all thrown together, and was looking for a HH once /to end to a coach) in the archive folder and it was a bit confusing having all rooms in the same folder, since it is done by play date. But then again, wont have that problem with FT games anymore...:-(

Yea, really it's just a lot easier to export a hand from HEM or copy it to the clipboard than to search through your archived hands
