it`s a very succesfull update, but it will be nice a option in the preferences "Show icon in systray"

congrats for the release man
good job

[Relativity_17]

I think this might be a bit of a challenge in Windows, especially since the implementation relies on making shortcuts on the desktop, but is there any way that we could specify the position (left/right/bottom aligned) the icons appear?

[Sranshaft]

@Relativity: I'm sure there is a way for it to be done but it's not as straightforward as I'd like it to be. I'll see what options I have and get back to you.

@elix000: Thanks for the compliments. Great to know it's working for you. It's possible to add that in. Perhaps in the next update.

[Husaini HB]

Wow become much much better,keep up the good work,thank's

[apfel]

Hm, I have a strange bug in version 0.4 (with removable drive support,now ^^)
After I plugged my psp and start usb-mode, DiscMounter creates a linke to the drive on my memory stick and not on my desktop. o_O

[Sranshaft]

@apfel: Well that's certainly a strange bug. I'll take a look at it and see what's going on. Does it do the same thing with other USB drives?

[Relativity_17]

I actually saw a one-off where DiscMounter placed a shortcut to C: in my C: drive. I deleted the shortcut and it seems have gone for good.

[elix000]

you could separate the floppy drive form usb drives whach,
i what to use it on usb drives but not on my floppy, it makes a check every second ...
in rest all it`s good for me

[Sranshaft]

Unfortunately the way I'm checking the drives, a USB drive and Floppy drive is classified as the same type of drive (removable) and therefore cannot be separated. I'll look into though and see if I missed something.

Sranshaft, You can try check full size of drive. I think 1,44Mb USB drive it's exotic
does it make sense?

Sure does and thankyou very much for your suggestion. I've gone another route though with the user selecting the drive letter to the floppy drive in the preferences. This would bypass having to check the floppy drive at all - I think checking for the size would still cause the computer to access the floppy drive?

The way I've gone should work though. Granted if the computer has more than 1 floppy...but that shouldn't be a problem. Do computers even come standard with floppy drives anymore? :

New version should be up for testing shortly. I've been working on some new features which you all should find a great addition - remembering icon positioning anyone?

[KSoft]

Really, I think it will access to floppy drive. Option for floppy drive is a great idea.
Especially as the most floppy drives will be A: by default and USB drive letter will be after C: (floppy can be A or B, isn't it?).

I wish You successes in development!

[Sranshaft]

Yes, as far as I know default floppy drives will either be A: or B:. The new way seems to be working fine enough. We'll see what real world use has to say about that though.

Thankyou very much for your well-wishes.

[Sranshaft]

New version now available! Check the first page for the download.

Version 0.5 : November 3, 2007

• Added ability to ignore floppy drives in the preference window
  
• Added 'Monitored Drives' menu to system tray.
  
  If a CD/DVD drive has no media inserted, when the menu item is clicked the corresponding drive will open. Otherwise, it will open Explorer to the designated place.

@apfel: Did you replace / overwrite all the files in the old folder with the files included in the new zip file? It looks to me like it's not able to write one of the settings. This probably being one of the new settings regarding the floppy drive.

Try downloading and overwriting the old files again making sure DiscMounter is not running in the background first. This should solve the problem.

[Relativity_17]

I get death as well. Installed twice, both times without DM running - first time, overwrote all files in the original folder. Second time, deleted all files in the folder first, before copying in the new versions. Appears when I try and change preferences.

See the end of this message for details on invoking 

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Edit: On further investigation, you may need to delete a folder. Go to C:Documents and Settings~Account Name~Local SettingsApplication DataFour13_Designs and look for a folder that starts with DiscMounter and delete it. If there are multiple ones, just delete them all. Now restart DiscMounter. And reset your preferences. This should clear up the problem. It's a strange one though because it worked perfectly here...that's usually the way it goes though.

[apfel]

I did a fresh installation by replacing all files.
Did you solve the problem with Links, which DiscMounter creates in HDD´s/removable drives/ ...?

Edit: Your xml example does not fix the problem, with apply bug.

[Sranshaft]

@apfel: Did you try the edited instructions? As for the problem with links...I believe they should be fixed now. It was a problem when DiscMounter encountered a drive without a volume name. It should now come up as "Drive ~letter~ ~type of drive~".
