Detection Profile Editor

Where to find it

In the dashboard, click the edit button above the notification bar to open the editor as a full-screen modal.

Steps to create a detection profile

1. Choose an input source. Make sure you have already finished Capture Setup.
2. Choose the player count. Pokercat will automatically generate the matching detection groups.
3. Finish the hero, player, and board annotations. See Instructions of detection elements.
4. Use the annotation tools to align and duplicate boxes faster. See Useful tools.
5. Save a new profile or overwrite one of your own profiles. See Save detection profile.

Instructions of detection elements

Most elements follow the layout shown above. Pay extra attention to these areas:

Element	Notes
Hero turn	Hero action indicator. Because its color must stay stable, it is usually best placed on the end segment of the action timer bar.
Hero card	Some hero cards are tilted. Drag the rotation handle above the box to match the card angle.
Player card	Avoid the player avatar as much as possible, because avatar colors are unpredictable.
Board card	Fit tightly around the rank text. Do not include the suit or the card border.
Stacks	Wrap the full number. Stacks may be as long as XXX.XX.

Useful tools

Use these tools to speed up precise editing:

Tool	How to use it
Horizontal align	Align several boxes at once. This is especially useful for all board cards.
Copy size	Reuse the same width and height across similar elements.
Copy group	Use Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V to duplicate a selected group.
Nudge	Use the arrow keys to fine-tune the selected box position.

Save detection profile

Click Profiles in the editor header to open the profile manager.

Action	Notes
Apply	Load a system profile or one of your own profiles into the editor.
Save	Create a new profile. You need to enter a name and choose the matching platform.
Overwrite	Select an existing profile, choose the platform, then confirm overwrite. Regular users can overwrite their own profiles only.
Delete	Delete one of your own profiles from My Annotations.

Before saving, Pokercat checks that an input source is loaded, a player count is selected, and all required annotations are complete. If anything is missing, the profile manager shows the error in place.
