LaunchBar Commander / 1.149.01 and 1.149.04 both hanging

« on: January 16, 2017, 03:57 PM »

I'm running Win Pro x64 on all machines.
I first installed 1.149.01 on my HP desktop and it worked fine.
I then installed it on a Lenovo W520 laptop and it hung with the CPU busy. After a number of uninstalls, reinstalls and general machine cleanup it started working again.
I then installed it on a Lenovo W530 laptop and it hung with the CPU busy. I then uninstalled and tried 1.149.04. It still hangs.
All my settings files are copied from the HP desktop master copy. I've been doing this for years without any problems. Let me know if you need any more info to fix this.

Find And Run Robot / Required Alias Prefix being cleared from Search Box

« on: January 01, 2013, 09:33 PM »

I setup a Required Alias Prefix with a value of "`". I did this to speed up alias searches and avoid mixing aliases with regular searches. There are two problems.

1. Auto complete - if I type "`c" I will see cpanel in the search results. If I hit Tab to auto complete I get "cpanel" in the search box but the leading "`" has been cleared so it isn't recognized as an alias any more.

2. Repeated searches - once I figured out that I needed to type "`fc" I got Fcalc working again. However if I type a calculation like "`fc 2+2" and then hit Enter to be able to input a new calculation the search box is set to "fc" without the leading (and required) "`".

Please consider fixing this as it makes using a Required Alias Prefix almost more trouble than it is worth. If the Required Alias Prefix is present in the search box the it should be left there for Auto Complete and repeated searches.

LaunchBar Commander / Version 1.129.01 - Tab page confused about submenu

« on: December 11, 2011, 04:33 PM »

I've previously mentioned a problem with a tab page menu: Version 1.129.01 Bug - Tab page loses captions for submenu items on switch

Now I've got another problem. My tab page menu now has three sub menus. The selected sub menu displays properly but the drop down menu that lists the sub menus only gets the first two nodes right. The third node listed in the last item in the third sub menu instead of the sub menu itself. This problem extends to the tab page master menu at the bottom of the drop down menu.

I realize that this may be a bit hard to visualize. I can send you my .mcf file but am not comfortable with posting it publicly. Let me know if you need it.

LaunchBar Commander / Version 1.129.01 causes video loss in VLC Media player

« on: November 29, 2011, 08:31 PM »

I have been using VLC Media player as my primary player for viewing videos for about a year. It recently stopped showing the video and just gave me the audio. When I closed LBC and restarted VLC Media player the video displayed properly. I've seen this behavior for wmv, mp4 and flv videos. Other media players like Windows Media Player, Adobe Media Player and QuickTime Player are not affected.

I'm on Windows XP SP3 fully updated.

I like LBC a lot. I hope that you can fix this quickly.

LaunchBar Commander / Version 1.129.01 Bug - Tab page loses captions for submenu items on switch

« on: November 28, 2011, 09:28 PM »

I have a tab page node with 4 sub menus. All items have captions displayed to the right. When I switch to from one sub menu to another the sub menu itself still has it's caption. The child items of the sub menu are just displayed as icons. If I "Rebuild Docks to Fixup Display" then the captions appear properly after the icons.

DcUpdater / Feature requests: 1. Improved help. 2. More programs auto updating.

« on: March 23, 2008, 12:58 PM »

1. Please update the help to fully explain the options. I had to run a forum search to find out what the username and password were for.

2. Please let the other programmers on DonationCoder.com know that they should be using this utility to let people know about updates. That is obviously what it was intended for. The only updates it showed me for all for Mouser's software. Auto-update is an expected feature these days and the more programs on the site that have the better. That includes the small utilities.
