Avedesk 1.1 Coding Progress

I have some questions (not demands or bugging just inquiries) ... will this:

Be able to display icons\images out of the current users desktop folder automatically and display thumbnails for the icons (with transparency for png images). And let you manage those files from it.

Automatically mount your drives.

Let you choose which desktop icons to show\not show (as in my computer, network, my documents, IE, drives).

Nope not wrong thread. This program does desktop icons right? Well if I'm going to replace IconX with it I want it to do all the things it can do in addition to the gee whiz things like labels transitions, drive space, item count and so forth.

Like for example let's say you have some jpegs on your desktop. On the mac they show up on there as icons which you can label as any other icon and it is a thumbnail. If you can see these files you should also be able to move them around and delete them, copy them, move them around with your mouse and they remember their position, etc. Plus the icon system applies to all icons on the desktop like if you downloaded some files to your desktop or made a folder.

When you are working with icons off the windows desktop you get all the icons which would show up so I was wondering if for example if the auto mounting would work as I would like it if you could hide the floppy drive or whatever drive that you don't want showing. Like as an example in IconX you can hide or show the windows default icons as you see fit.

When I talk about auto mounting I wonder if for example you plug in a usb hard drive would it automatically show up or would you have to configure a copy of a drive docklet to show up for it.

#188479

Ah, that's more understandable for me :)

This is a desklet automatically created from a photo I dropped from a digital camera to my desktop. See for yourself.

Auto-mounting is implemented also thru a plug in.

(And yeah, that's me on that picture :unsure: )

#188698

Null8Fuffzehn:

The date can(t be tomorow cause Ave's got to go to the swimmingpool, next week he has got a Music camp, maybe next month but he's working in a pizzeria, a goat farm and is trying to make his feet behind the head... so...

HAHAHAHA Ave's got an heavy plan for these holidays :P

#188901

curse you beta testers and the teasing!! God this is going to be a long wait, so this is what withdrawl feels like.........except I never had it to go through withdrawal

#188914

Yea, i've been waiting for a release, for what feels like forever!

I hope XML weather works for me in the new version of AveDesk.

Im checking this section of Aqua-Soft, like every hour.. its driving me nuts! hehehehe..

Well.. I guess ill have to wait another month.

IF there is need for another betatester, you can get at me at: torben.koch (at) gmail (dot) com

#188934

Couple a days, 1.5 week at most. Fixed some more bugs. Trying to fix or workaround a bug that causes random crashes on right click :/, it looks like it is beyond my powers ( IContextMenu::Release() ).

Been working on the 'Desk all day now, 'cause of the ****ing rain here. :rant:

#188946

i would apear the weather machine i built has worked. Its all falling into place after months of planing.

#188954

@ lostspyder - u`r evil, i like you :lol:

@ others - trust me guys, being a beta tester is not all milk and cookies. At the moment it`s not fun at all :6 . Ave is a perfectionst and he wants to do this right + he has to earn some cash for living (since people are stingy <_< )

anyway, patience is the mother of all virtues.

SUPPORT AVE APPS!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

HAHAHA that's right he's perfectionist but not enougth cause sometimes i find some things that haven't been implemented because of his lazyness ;) ;) huhu

Anyway beta testing as you said is not so easy as it can seems to be, I guess some beta testers are better than me but i try to use avedesk at most of the possibilities, especialy when that make funny things :P

I got some preview for you but i'm waiting for the BOSS authorization to post the link here :)

Unbeleiver: bouncing, shaking and matrix effects are done, you got an email or MSN??

#189042

*cough*cough*

I'm a kick ass beta tester. I can break anything once or twice, plus I use alot of apps out of the norm, which can broaden the range of possible errors in a new app.

Edit: Not to mention I run AveDesk everyday. :)

#189081

need more beta testers ?

I run a complex system, dual-monitor with heavy stuff like Maya, Arc+,and Arc Render PRO together with avedesk...

and even it's my work computer, it has all sort of crazy stuff installed just for my emusment ;)

#189202

Bleh, not going to waste time or space asking to test something that needs no more testers, besides to me, asking is kind of disrespectful, TO ME, I'm not saying it is, and that you guys are being disrespectful.

Anyways, how about some more teaser pics?

Ave how well do you think it would run on lets say

P3 933Mhz

256MB Ram

32MB integrated graphics card??

I don't mod my gaming rig, just that one

#189481

Kej0:

It may work fine, no problem, you will only need to use effects that are not too hungry :P. Some of them are wuite fun but... it eat up the CPU for big desklet (192*192).

You'll not have troubles with AveDesk ;)

About the teasing pictures, hold on until next week it's coming :)

#189545

Anyways, how about some more teaser pics?
