Bug reports!
When I browse for the files for anything, photo, program, icon, etc. it uses <APP_PATH> but then uses the absolute/full path. So for instance, it looks like this:Photo.File=<APP_PATH>\C:\Folder\image.jpg
And then it still tells me the photo can't be found.
And it's not very helpful that I can't manually type/edit the path in those input fields. They're locked and the only way to edit them is through the Browse button, which populates incorrectly with the full path.
Also, when browsing for a file to run, it defaults to htm or html files, even though the Type is set to Filename. And how come it won't let me save it so I can do incremental testing? There's only Save As, which gets a little annoying since it creates the autorun.inf and copies CAR.exe over every time, asking me if I want to replace them.-Deozaan (October 04, 2007, 12:46 PM)
It also seems like it would be a little more user friendly if you could toggle the buttons on and off from each button's config as well as the Icon/Form config area.-Deozaan (October 04, 2007, 01:08 PM)
Hi hamradio, I have a few suggestions:
- Make it so that a photo isn't required. If I want a pure and simple (perhaps ugly) box with the options, that should be my choice.
- Let me grab icons from .exe files instead of only .ico. Not every app I want to launch/run has a separate .ico file. Most are built right into the .exe.
- Make it easier to find some documentation. I know it's important for the license information to be reviewed, but combining the license and readme files was a bad idea, in my opinion.
- Get an installer and make this some official DC software. Not to take away from your personal achievement of making this cool program, but it would be nice to see it run/install similarly to other great DC apps I find here. Then again, maybe you don't want people to have to deal with the DC Donationware license issues. Still, an installer would be nice so that start menu shortcuts can be made and so that the DCAppdater could automatically grab and install newer versions.
Congrats on this awesome application!-Deozaan (October 04, 2007, 11:23 AM)
I'm still running FARR 2.00.133 (July). Until then, seems like the updater was keeping me updated quite nicely. Time flies and I just today realized that I have not seen any update for quite a while.
When I run the updater (1.17.01), it says, both about itself and about FARR:
Version on the web: n/a
Version date: blank
Progress bar: empty
Status: got version
My update handling option is set to Download into Temp and run directly.
Anything you'd like me to check before downloading manually?
BTW, the Updater Network Log is not very helpful because it includes no dates or times, which is a sine qua non for a log.
Thanks!-jdmarch (October 03, 2007, 05:02 PM)
