blankfaze 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 yeah, me too, that sucksshould have kept a copy of 10 just in case :-P Link to post
Larsen2k4 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Keep calm guys... I'm shure Tom will fix it as soon as possible Link to post
Urthwhyte 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Not to be impatient or anything, your doing an awsome job Tom, but is there any reason some of us would get a runtime error with build 11, and is there any way we could fix it ourselves. Link to post
Technodawg 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 I get the same issue on start-up. The only thing I noticed is that I kept a later version of one of the OCX's during the install. This is a great concept... I watch this thread every day. Link to post
TomLapp420 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Sorry about that, the fixed version is now on the front page. If you have any problems, clear your settings in the registry and restart. Link to post
Larsen2k4 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Greeeeaaat update But still one little problem: - on opening txt-files I get the well-known "Runtime error 76 - Path not found (only in Show All window - in the search box it simply doesn't react) - Office Files (doc, xls, ppt) don't open. Everything else works just fine Link to post
TomLapp420 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Build #12 is on the front pageFixed the problem with opening files, I discovered an api that facilitates opening of files for me so I don't have to extract the info from the registry (which obviously doesn't work well). And I also changed the program icon to the spotlight icon (at least one I threw together with icondeveloper) Link to post
Larsen2k4 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Wohoo! What a fast bugfix No the text files do their job - thank you veeery much Tom Link to post
TomLapp420 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 that's the beauty of Visual Basic, it's usually so easy to fix problems.I tried opening every kind of file I could search and so far had no problems Link to post
Larsen2k4 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Hmm, maybe I should try to learn VB, too... Slowly but shure this makes me curious Link to post
Technodawg 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Which version of VB are you using for this, Tom? Link to post
TomLapp420 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Enterprise 6.0 Link to post
Technodawg 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Ah, that explains why we don't need the .Net framework. I've got visual studio.net but don't have a copy of VB6 on my machine, so it would be tough to pitch in. I could help out with hosting capability if needed. I'm getting the emails under each entry as well, and the drop-down menu cuts off on the right after the right end of the Spotlight box. The Show All capability is sweet... I like where this is headed! Link to post
Carvetia 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Looks great, but unfortunately it does this, can't think why.EDIT: And Tom, about your sig, if you think kit kat is clever, try aero, they actually advertise the fact that their chocolate has holes in it. Link to post
Larsen2k4 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 I just wanted to show you how Spotlight looks on my system... again big thanks to Tom for all the hard work This makes my Win OS X much more real-mac-like http://www.win-freak.de/osx05/spotlight.jpg Link to post

TomLapp420 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 I am going to upload what I have, it searches mail messages and puts them into their own group. I just cant figure out how to open mail messages so it won't open them, instead it will open the containing folder Link to post
blankfaze 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 great job, tom.my only real complaint is that i'd really like to be able to use windows picture and fax viewer to open images... it's quick and easy... but i understand, and it doesn't ruin the greatness of everything else for me really.thanks Link to post
blankfaze 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 also, i just noticed that the "close menu when i click off" option seems to no longer work. minor annoyance though, i guess.if clicking on another window, that window will take focus but it just sends the spotlight box to the back. if i click out of it onto the desktop, stays there.

view 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 BUILD #12 is real beautiful!and i think to use the PNG image will more perfect~ Link to post
iamajd 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Want to use TomLapp420's Spotlight, but you use Steve Grenier's Mac OS X skin for WindowBlinds (there is no Spotlight icon in the system tray) ?Well, here's a tip. Use the "Customize Format" feature of TClock and add 10 blank spaces to the end... that moves everything over so there's a perfect amout of space for TomLapp420's Spotlight. Link to post
AndreasV 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Okay, I am excited to try this. Downloaded google desktop search, spotlight build 12.Copy/pasted the URL in the preferences thingy, but whatever I type in that box, I get nothing , while using Google Desktop Search gives me results.Anything I'm doing wrong?
