Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor License Key Saved

« Last post by mouser on February 28, 2008, 10:11 AM »

if i understand correctly, when you say "Ever since then, whenever I open Screenshot Captor a small window pops up that says License Key Saved", what you mean is every time you restore it from the tray.

that window should have an OK box to close it, try clicking on the window and hitting Enter.

in the worst case, until i fix the display of that box, you should still be able to KILL screenshot captor from running (hit ctrl+alt+delete and find ScreenshotCaptor.exe and terminate it). When you restart the program you shouldn't see the window anymore.

the WOL assumes we live in a more benign world in which enlightened self-interest leads people to voluntarily share significant improvements with the community

can someone direct me to this planet? how much does it cost to go there? do cute girls live there? how is the weather?

DcUpdater / Re: Integration of dcUpdater with Nullsoft Installer

« Last post by mouser on February 28, 2008, 09:10 AM »

cool

you surmised exactly what the helper does when it registers a new application. your steps for doing that and checking for existence of dcupdater are valid.

it probably should always create that directory and put itself there, so that if your program is installed, and THEN the dcupdater is installed, it will still find it.

i should say that the small dcuhelper.exe will create this entry when launched, and will also direct the user to the dcupdater website, so really you can use the dcuhelper.exe to do this work -- both to register the application and launch the updater or tell people about how to get updater.

PS: dcUpdater 1.23.01 has a problem with dates in dd/mm/yyyy localisations - some dates don't show up, perhaps because they are regarded as invalid.

you mean in the display window its handling them wrong? or in what way is it doing something wrong?

DcUpdater / Re: Allocation of .dcupdate namespace to user.

« Last post by mouser on February 28, 2008, 08:56 AM »

the updater should ignore sections it doesnt understand.. i'm very happy to say that dcupdater will never use the <user></user> section, so that is now free to use safely. same is true for the remote versioninfo.xml files.

that looks pretty nice Blaster!
for everyone wondering, blaster chose a sweatshirt because he had already won a mug in the past. so all of you who have won mugs you can also request any custom object you want for your next reward

it's a little small nudone -- next time get one big enough and you can cut it to be an exact size to cover the desk surface -- that would be cool.

its an interesting idea just for fun but i think the smart thing would be to use a boot disk that you could boot up with and would wipe and erase the hard drive.

General Software Discussion / This board is now for Company Compliments as well as complaints

« Last post by mouser on February 26, 2008, 06:28 PM »

We thought it was only fair to allow praise of companies to be in this section too, so it isn't all a hate fest.

There was some talk about whether to make a new section for it but i thought it would be better to avoid creating so many new boards.

ps. In my opinion, posting compliments about companies should be done not for good programs per se, but for customer support and nice things the company does that are above and beyond normal practices.

I think it would be nice to show the age of each thread in the column where it tells you when the last post was.
So like here:

it would say: "(5 days old)" or something like that.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Farr "-exit" command takes a while.

« Last post by mouser on February 26, 2008, 04:44 PM »

you wont cause any harm by forcing it to exit -- but it's possible that it won't have saved any recently launched programs in its recently launched files history, which you probably don't care about.

however i don't really know why it would take much longer to kill just because it's running on a usb stick.

can you check if you exit farr on your usb stick by choosing to exit from the tray menu, whether its fast or slow.
in other words, is the long delay because of farr existing no matter how it exits, or is it only a long delay when using the commandline -exit switch.

if its ALWAYS slow exiting then the problem is probably a delay saving its configuration file in general on the usb stick. in which case you might check the size of the config file and see if its huge. there was a discussion on the forum a while ago about an antivirus program really slowing down the ini file saving operation of farr.
