GNUbg: How to tell if rollout used Jacoby?

Up until last month a GNUBGID didn't even have the Jacoby flag in it. This is something I corrected in March (And was surprised wasn't part of a GNUBGID). In older versions of GNUBG since the Jacoby flag was never in a GNUBGID it would use the global Jacoby setting (in Settings/Options) in old releases of GNUBG when you pasted an ID.

First I recommend downloading and installing the latest GNUBG: http://www.gnubg.org/media/windows/gnubg-MAIN-20110410-setup.exe

This release (April 10th) has Jacoby support in GNUBGID's, and also properly supports the Jacoby flag from an XGID pasted into GNUBG.

If you paste old GNUBGID's (ones without Jacoby support) into the new GNUBG, GNUBG will assume Jacoby was on.

In the new release when you paste a money session into GNUBG you can see what the Jacoby setting is at the bottom of the screen. A checkbox will now appear for money sessions showing you the Jacoby setting in effect. (or not)

The only thing I will have to do now is display the Jacoby setting when exporting/copying to clipboard. I'll see about doing that this week.

To answer the question: "So, whenever we see a GNUbg money rollout, how can we tell whether GNUbg used Jacoby? " - to be frank you can't tell for certainty from an existing position that is posted.
