I can add another option to add folder hierarchies and sort replays based on that.

I am having the problem that i have so many replays of older versions and i cannot distinguish between them. Therefore a feature which allows you to automatically organize your replays by versions and putting them in different folders would be nice. Sorry for the late reply.

It sounds like you want some sort of export function to put all the replays in hierarchy of folders to ship them around. Does that sound about right? At the moment I'm working on a rename function similar to w3master's parser that will help to the organization but adding an export function similar to the one you describe shouldn't be too difficult.

So that you can organzize your replay files in a specific folder by version / race / whatever. Is there a possibility to add an organizing function?

I just took a look at the w3master parser and see what you mean by being able to navigate through the replays so I'll see what I can do.

So for me (and I am sure that also for other) it would not be a big deal to blink chart for a while during computing. Buttons prev/next would also be very handy! But clickable list with replays would be really great somewhere near chart. But buttons should be first step I think - easier to implement and gives a lot :) Another option is to compute APM when adding to library. It would be very useful to show for example player avg APM and other stats in library. It obviously would slow down importing - but in the future it is worth that :) But that feature I think is not most important right now.

There have been a few requests similar to yours (being able to scroll through the replays and having it create generate the information on the fly), but the implementation is a little tricky. The only information that is actually saved on the computer is what is seen in the database, all of the extra information has to be re-parsed whenever the graph is created, so it actually becomes quite expensive to do this. What I may end up doing is having a 'next' and 'previous' buttons to traverse the database, does that sound like a reasonable compromise? I really like your suggestions for the graph, I'll see what I can do with the library that I am working with. Thanks again for the feedback - it's always great to hear from users. - John Draco, thanks a lot for the feedback – those are some great suggestions.

I have been also mad about w3chart. What for me would be really important is adding replays list on the chart view (maybe as another position in combobox on the right). So it would be possible to just focus that list press down on keyboard and watch another rep. Also with player names would be really nice to display avg apm (especially in described above). Next big thing which would be really great to have is some numeric stepper, slider or combobox to change apm chart smoothness (now it is 30s, where I always watch on 120 or 60). And on the end some polishing touch - maybe allow to click on player name on the legend and fade that name and turn off that person chart visibility. Small but really handy ;] I know that every change is big deal and always there is great amount of them - I am programmer also. But I really belive in your patience. It is best APM soft we now have anyway. And for me definitely looks most promising :) thx John! Great work John!
