In order to make workflow efficient, instead of the fun introductory dialog that was shown in the first scrolling capture implementation -- now you get the red box right away, and after you select an object you get a dialog.

Let me know what you think!
-mouser (January 25, 2012, 10:36 AM)

Mouser, man!, you did a great job! I like it this way :Thmbsup:

The dialog is a bit intimidating, larger fonts on the buttons and all, but it's pretty useful.
Be aware that you can never have enough explanation-text on that dialog, as it's IMHO quite complicated for new users. A big tooltip for each button (and enough tooltip-time to read) or a specific help link or pop-up button next to each could be needed.

General Software Discussion / Re: How to force "Register DLL"?
« Last post by Ath on January 26, 2012, 02:53 PM »
Looked it up to be sure, 0x5 is simply Access Denied.

The installer should be run as administrator, sometimes _even_ if UAC is turned off. Could also be a 32 vs 64 bit issue.

It's quite pre-Windows 7 this DLL, and it probably needs to be RegSvr32'd from an elevated command-prompt, or with UAC turned off (but that requires a reboot if it's currently on).
It's not an OS-used DLL, so it won't need to be done while (re)starting. It might help if AV is turned off during the RegSvr32 action, but usually that's not required.
Worst case it's missing some required file(s).

It's actually a fail in the installer, that should take care of things like that, but if if the installer is really old it couldn't know, ofcourse.

Hm, is it down to that gritty detail :huh: :)

Presenting a dialog before the capture start would be really disrupting to the workflow, as it would be the only SSC capture method that presents a selection dialog before starting the actual capture (fwik). Adding that selection after making the red box selection and starting one of the Capture methods would be less disrupting imho.

Can't you add semi-floating buttons to the red box border (green rectangles in the image) or change the Suggestion/Tip-text labels into buttons (dark-blue rectangles around the labels), beats a Ctrl-Shift-Click any day :-*

Putting the labels a bit more into view on maximized Windows would be required in that case.

Ctrl-Click is apparently caught by IE to select text. Solution (by mouser) is to use the gear button, but that's kinda out of reach with a maximized window

the new beta should show the button even on maximized window now doesn't it?
-mouser (January 17, 2012, 06:09 PM)

This beta improvement that made it into Minicap would be "Nice to Have" on SSC too, btw, now that you asked :D

Why not keep the current selection method, and replace the old Scrolling capture with the New And Improved! Scrolling capture? Should leave any previous workflow the same, imho.

General Software Discussion / Re: AVG claims a virus is found in dexpot.exe
« Last post by Ath on January 24, 2012, 01:37 AM »
AVG has been reported of flagging several Inno Setup installs (the uninstaller specifically) as having a virus. As it's only AVG reporting this issue, and now also on dexpot, I'm inclined to suggest it's a false positive. Best would be to report in their support section.

For a second opinion you can alway use a web service scanner like Jotti or VirusTotal

If you were the product's developer, you could post on the link Ath provided and possibly make a general request that someone at DC to do a review of it.

Wow, that's quick! Thanks :Thmbsup:

I can live with the columns being resized, that's no big issue, I now just resize the form so that the contents of all columns is completely readable, and the size is stored, so :D

That's working a lot more convenient indeed, thanks for the quick response!

But also there's a few things I have found :)
  • When enabling/disabling the "Exclude /obj/ files" option and "Auto-recount when File Options change" is enabled, a Recount doesn't happen, though it would be quite logical if it did.
  • When resizing the form, the grid columns resize automagically, this is happening from code, right? It'd be nice if my manual width-changes would be used as the relative size.
  • When resizing, the Browse and Recount combo and button move with the right side of the form, but the File filter label/combo stay in their original place. That's a bit funky imho.
  • After a restart, the form is back to it's original size, position and File filter selection. Can these be saved between sessions?

No need to rush, but would be nice to have. :up:

Seems like 169 points is the current maximum achievement, and 164 seems 'doable' :tellme: (Or those guys are just bored with their jobs)

Hey, nice and quick :Thmbsup:

But, like with the standard *.cs and *.vb filters (I didn't request this yet, did I 8)), it might be smart to exclude the generated stuff in the *\obj\* project directory:
