If I resize the translation widget and then flip it by clicking on the little arrow in the bottom left hand corner it sets itself back to the its original size.

Sometimes the systray icon for AveDEsk disappears. I suspect it is after explorer has crashed (!). I usually have a desklet that is glued to the desktop. These vanish too. I haven't tried to definitively reproduce it (i.e. by killing explorer) but I would guess a starting point would be:

Set the style of a desklet to 'desktop icon'
Kill explorer

Correct, not taking the current size in account when flipping. Will update it today.

@tray icon: I'm not resetting the trayicon after the shell sent a special 'ExplorerCrashedPleaseResetTrayIcons' message. Gonna update it.

@'desktop icon': Explorer.exe owns the desklet's window actually when set to 'desktop icon'. when explorer.exe goes down, the system destroys all windows being owned by that process, including the 'desktop icons'-desklets.
I could recreate those desklets when the shell is brought back to life, but I'm unsure how to destroy the desklets whose windows have been destroyed. The main problem is the desklets window is used for marshalling, synchronizing etc..

@_cell--For your second bug, that's not really a bug. Just a feature that hasn't been coded in yet...it wasn't there for any of the other AveDesk releases, I don't think .

Course, I never really used them--were they working in older versions? :slant:

As far as I remember, the second bug I reported was about Cyrillic input in desklets... In earlier versions of AVEDesk the input was done through a common text input control and only on mouse blur displayed on a desklet and it was fine. Now as I can see desklets use some sort of their own input control ant there's this problem with language.

I'm using a specially crafted - by me of course- windowless control, I suspect I'm not handling WM_DEADCHAR or the likes.

Well. With the systray icon vanishing it was kind of a double-whammy because there was no way to cleanly exit AveDesk. Fixing that will make the desktop-desklet thing less of an issue.

Re-running the affected desklets would be great. Obviously also cleaning up affected desklets would be ideal, but failing that just moving them to some kind of graveyard would suffice - i.e. don't show them in the control panel and maybe show a message to the effect that you might want to re-start AveDesk because that flaky old exporer crashed and left some crud lying around?

As for shortcuts - I don't remember myself using them earlier ) But just decided to start and found them not functioning )

Guess this is an issue worth mentioning here as far as shortcuts are declared and don't work

[schmeckt gut]

@mrhotwings

I don't use firefox so I couldn't tell ya. Sorry. =/

[Daeron Tinúviel]
