When in the miniature view, iPoker uses a different selection from the seats of a 10 seat table for shorter (8,6,2) tables than in the default tables (which are far too large for effective multitabling), and I can't seem to set the table types from the table manager (it considers them to be 10-max no matter what, probably because seats up to 10 appear in the hand history). Worse, it doesn't even have an 8 seat table option (even if you ignore the rest of this bug report, read this sentence).
Because the seat numbers in the hand histories correspond to their positions on the default table view, this "just works" for that view without any special handling, but completely fails for the miniature tables.
Ideally I would like to be able to use my 10-max HUD layout for 8, 6 and 2-max like players using the oversized tables can, although the table type will need to be detected (this can be done more reliably than on many sites because of the odd seat numbers in the hand histories) or specified by the user because of the variable seat mapping. Separate layouts for 8 (don't forget 8!), 6 and 2-max would be acceptable, but shouldn't be necessary as none of the seats have actually been moved from their positions on the 10-max table, they're just numbered strangely.
8 seat: normal is 1,2,4,5,6,7,9,10 (two groups of four at top and bottom), mini is 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9 (two groups of four left and right)
6 seat: normal is 1,3,5,6,8,10 (spread around the table), mini is 1,4,5,6,9,10 (groups of three top and bottom)
2 seat: normal is 3,8 (left and right), mini is 10,5 (top and bottom, top being the logical seat 1 (3 in the hand history))
