Wanted to mention - my original description of GBM was based on version 5, and I've now updated the review to take into consideration the features that have been improved in version 6.  Most notably I complained in the original review about the lack of a search function - version 6 now has a fantastic search function..

when i saw that i fell in love with this program

yeah, they are very elegant looking buttons imho, but the color scheme and size makes them very dificult to read.

btw the forum here is from www.simplemachines.org

extra button sets can be found here: http://www.simplemac...index.php?board=34.0

if anyone finds a button set that they like post me a link.

it should force the process priority every time a new matching process launches, and on any applications it finds running when it starts.  If it's not, then its missing it.

Keep in mind that the current match is case sensitive (im going to fix this), so the names have to match exactly.
Let me know if you find its not working and I will look into it.

25" monitor at 1920x1200... droool..........

.. that could definitely be it...

seems like a very inefficient approach on the part of php..

i will still try to see if i can find a way to optimize it further for this scenario.

Backup Guide / Re: Information about Paragon Drive Backup

« Last post by mouser on April 17, 2005, 07:43 AM »

in light of my mistake i went back and had another look at paragon, and decided to move it up on par with Acronis and DriveImage in the review.  i think it still needs some polish, but i'm liking Paragon more and more; with some continued improvement Paragon could be the one to beat in the future.

Backup Guide / Re: Information about Paragon Drive Backup

« Last post by mouser on April 17, 2005, 07:19 AM »

i just went back and checked out paragon again - and it seems i was quite wrong about backing up the entire hard drive, in fact the gui works identically, its just a little hard to see that you can select the "enclosing" hard drive in order to back the whole thing up.  you can also select form the left hand tree as well.

i'm ammending the review to this effect and emphasizing the fact the i actually prefer this style of interface over the wizard interface of the others.  i think paragon may definitely be a contender for best drive imaging tool in the future.

Backup Guide / Re: Information about Paragon Drive Backup

« Last post by mouser on April 17, 2005, 06:29 AM »

thanks jeff, i will correct the review in terms of the backup of the entire hard disk; strange that you cant select it visually the way you can to backup individual partitions.

in terms of browsing archives - being able to mount and then search and view the contents of an image as if it was a normal hard drive is unbelievably useful when you actually have to find a file..  In this respect Acronis is just way beyond the competition.

Mouser's Zone / Re: Ideas i want to bounce off you guys

« Last post by mouser on April 17, 2005, 04:30 AM »

this is my main concern -
you people who are kind enough to donate to support this project are the most important people -
and i don't want to do anything that would make things annoying for you guys or discourage people like you.
thats why i'm already not feeling good about making the latest betas available to members only, seems like i'm just making it harder for you guys to download the latest releases, etc.  i have to find a less annoying solution.

I would definitely like to do multilingual versions, and i spent some time looking at software to aid multilingual design, its just not as high priority at the moment as fixing the lingering bugs..

but i haven't forgotten and i will definitely like to take you guys up on your offers to help.

thanks ann, tech guy looks great - added.
thanks zero-point, suggestafix also great - added.

z3k, filelight is one of best looking/organized shareware listing sites i've seen; i'll probably add it i just need to check out if it is up there with the rest in terms of quantity of listings since that is key.

DesktopCoral / Re: Usefullness

« Last post by mouser on April 17, 2005, 01:19 AM »

you actually can put shortcuts on top of the coral/corral.
but you have to set the opacity to 0 for it to not push them aside.
so basically you are gonna end up pushing them aside when you first dock it
but then you should be able to set opacity to 0 and then move the short cuts on top of it ever after.

at least thats the idea.

whats wrong with the main form?

perhaps you think something is supposed to be displayed on it
its totally blank, you just dock it.

i can fix the options form in a couple minutes; i'll upload it soon.

yeah its quite fun that people can't sneak anything by you when you use wsw.

i read a lot of political blogs and i love seeing little sneaky silent changes, like when someone adds or changes one sentence in a long article.
