If you don'y know what BWChart is then you are missing out on a great tool for analyzing and organizing replays. It's basically a replay database which allows you to view a vast statistics over many games, players and maps. It also lets you analyse a single replay giving you numerous interesting different charts that characterizes your and your opponents APM, build orders, hot key use (this particular feature allows the people in the know identify pro gamers when smurfing).
But I bet most of you know this already and the introduction is unnecessary.
Recently I was looking through a bunch of replays and thought it is lacking a specific function- filtering replays by build orders. I made a small thread about it and I also PM'ed JCA, who's the person behind it all.
I got a rather quick reply from him with a quick fix:

Here's bwchart 1.04C: [url blocked]
Quick & dirty implementation but it seems to work: load your replays, filter them if needed, then display the BO tab and select the build orders you want to filter on (you select more than one), then go back to the replays tab and click "filter on selected build order"
Let me know if it works
cheers

So yeah here's the link again to the new version: [url blocked]
I think this small extension is great and will let you quickly find the build orders you like to practice in pro-packs or simply will let you find games of a particular style to watch!
Hope you enjoy it and again thanks to JCA and wish him a nice and wee deserved vacation!
