Hello,  Is it just my install, or do these migrants starting with what would be the 4th Migration in Therapist, merge with their previous.  It gets sorta cornfusing, or am I looking at the Trader Guards.  Ack!  Just a sec, I can spot them because they all seem to have lv6-7 wpn skills.  Checkin, BRB!  Knutor

the waves feature of therapist doesn't appear to be working for me either.

[knutor]

Okay, thank you Slothen.  That eases my thoughts, to know that I'm not the only one with a misbehaving Therapist.  This wave 3, had 20 some in it, now another two waves arrived, and it says wave 3 has 38 migrants.  Its up to 57 now, and I'm not exactly sure which are caravan dwarfs and which are not. 

I've been looking at the nursing skills, since I tend to disable those all, to tell the difference.  Its easy to confuse tho.  How do you tell the differences?  Knutor

What version are you using? I had that problem, downloaded a fresh copy, let it download the .05 memory files, and migrant waves showed up right for me again.

I recall reading somewhere that the feature was hit and run at best, but seems to mostly work correctly for me at the moment...

Yeah, the author mentioned that counting the waves is based on guesswork and that heīs surprised it works at all.

I donīt have any problems with the current version, though. The only thing what happens is that after half of your fort dies the waves get renumbered. So after a while you canīt really tell if those in wave 0 are really the founders or only the oldest survivors.

robertheinrich is correct, I found the known issues document and will post it in the spoilers below. Last I checked a couple weeks ago, the author did say that he may end up adjusting it more, but you'd have to check to see if that's still in the works, already done, etc.

KNOWN ISSUES
==============================================================================
 * - Migration Waves Incorrect -
   The group-by "Migration Wave" is based on some shady guesswork
   based on dwarf ids. It is in no way 100% accurate, but can sometimes amaze
   me that it works
   
 * - Dwarf and Squad Names -
   This is brute force word-list searching. Verb conjugation, plurality and
   case are a crapshoot. But it's generally pretty close.
 
 * - Unknown -
   If you come across some other weird error, please post a bug report here:
   http://code.google.com/p/dwarftherapist/issues/entry and paste the
   "run.log" file from the "log" directory into the bug report (or attach it)
   
   You can increase the amount of logging by running DwarfTherapist.exe with
   the "-trace" argument. You can do this via the shortcut, or via the command
   line
