I frequently play PLO8 on one site, and play 5-Card Draw simultaneously on PokerStars.
When I do this, I get errors and warnings in the "Import Status", and error messages on the "View Import Status" Page.
Is there any danger to my database by doing this?
When I run like this for a while, then close PT4, even the 5-Card Draw hand history files are moved to the "Processed" folder.
Is there any way to tell PT4 to just leave them?
Thanks

Unsupported gametypes will not import into the database so they will not affect it. Also PokerTracker 4 moves your processed hand histories (supported or unsupported) to your processed folder for performance reasons as a build up of hand histories in your poker sites hand history folder can cause performance issues. It is not recommended but you can disable 'Move Processed Files To:' in 'Configure -> Site & Import Options -> Preferences' although you would then need to manually move the files yourself. Also if you are playing PLO8 on one site and 5 card draw on PokerStars you can also disable 'Get Hands While Playing' in 'Configure -> Site & Import Options -> PokerStars' so don't forget to re-enable that should you want to play a supported gametype on PokerStars.

Thanks Rob,
I have a script that moves completed tournaments and no-longer used cash games into an archive.
I've added the PT4 processed folder to that script so now that's all taken care of.
I'll go ahead and play a few PLO8 games and some 5-Card Draw games while PT4 is running.
I thought maybe that there would be a performance hit.
All the best,
VS
