A Summary Of AveDesk Bugs

This is to replace the other bug-thread. This lists up all bugs I could extract from the bugreports and their status in the upcoming AveDesk 1.2 release. If you have something that's not on the list yet, please add a post clearly describing what goes wrong.

If you have issues with SysStats, please report them in the SysStats Bug Reports And Feature Requests thread.

known and fixed bugs

The obvious errors.

  • Single click issue
  • Auto-save on exit / shutdown of pc
  • Alpha-value of a desklet not being saved at all, thus resetting on every reload.
  • No tray icon sometimes
  • Label disappearing under certain conditions
  • Folder desklet blocking the application.

Corrected behaviour

Features that either simply didn't work or only worked on certain machines.

  • Drives desklets not disappearing when the drive is unmounted. Corrected by introducing another shortcut-desklet that handles this well.
  • Extreme load-times. switched to a different format
  • The control panel not reflecting the real status of desklets. simply added now.
  • Auto-renaming of shortcuts disabled by default now.
  • Correct behaviour for non-admin accounts or multiple-user accounts.

Still unknown

Things I cannot test, mainly because I don't have the right hardware ( e.g. dual monitor system).

  • Multi-monitor behaviour.
    Some sources say it works okay though.

Still on the TODO-list

Things I still plan to correct one time.

  • Ugly default tray icon: 16 colors vs 256 colors.

#244803

don't know, if I'm the only one who has this problem, but the sublablels of my folder desklets don't actualize (i let display number of files & folders and seize).

i.e. when i put some files into the folder (or delete some files), i have to switch to the desklet properties window, "change" something (like lock desklet and then unlock desklet) and click on apply. that's really annoying...

#244907

Just a little bug with the control panel :

The control panel isn't *compatible* with bzeitler's wba skins. A "OK" or "Close" button would be usefull since there isn't the 'close-expand-minimize' buttons

#244909

Another little bug you've missed: when explorer.exe proccess crashes and then restarted, AveDesk doesn't come back with it and it's icon disappears...

The AveDesk requires to be manualy terminated using the proccess manager and restarted.

#244924

actually... this only happens when avedesk icons are set to be "on the desktop" The reason this happens is because then the icons are basically part of the "desktop" so when you crash explorer.exe those icons bo byebye until you restart avedesk. Set them to always on bottom instead.

Just right click the caption bar and select close from there ;)

Yes, I know but a button would be simplier.

#245477

Enable "Hover-Selection" from Global Settings, Select "SelectionBox" in Desklet Properties, Exit & Save etc etc...

Now, Move mouse on Desklet and move-out... Selection box still remains!!! definately a bug! Correct behaviour: Selection box should dissappear on MouseOut ;)

#245551

!A further confirmation of above bug, After following above steps also follow these:

Single-Click on Desklet and Click in Desktop empty space (Selection Box gone!!)

Mouse Over on Desklet and Click in Desktop empty space (Selection Box Ramains!!!!!) Don't smell something yet???

Whoops! I shouldnt have double posted... anyhow, I only hope that Final Version of Ave1.2 is free from bugs thats all ;) We all love the clean work don't we so, don't let Unbeliever blow me away for this one :D

What are you trying to pull with this constant teasing and calling out? I don`t need to alert the mods, but don`t do that again will you?

If you`re trying to be funny, you`re not :slant:

#245567

OnAcceptDropFiles Behaviour: ObjectDock always calls OnAcceptDropFiles when a file is dragged over the icon. AveDesk only calls it when the docklet is created. As my Interop Docklet is returning false before a .Net Docklet is loaded, AveDesk will not allow drag&drop, even if the docklet is supporting it.

OnProcessMessage: AveDesk is calling OnProcessMessage before OnCreate, thus the DOCKLET_DATA has not been initialized (checking if DOCKLET_DATA is NULL resolved the problem). ObjectDock is only calling OnProcessMessage after OnCreate.

OnAcceptDropFiles Behaviour: ObjectDock always calls OnAcceptDropFiles when a file is dragged over the icon. AveDesk only calls it when the docklet is created. As my Interop Docklet is returning false before a .Net Docklet is loaded, AveDesk will not allow drag&drop, even if the docklet is supporting it.

OnDropFiles doesn't even work properly in Object Dock. In fact, AveDesk doesn't support OnDropFiles anymore, but uses a more advanced OnDrop(). and DeskletActivateExtendedDragDrop(hwndDesklet, TRUE);

OnProcessMessage: AveDesk is calling OnProcessMessage before OnCreate, thus the DOCKLET_DATA has not been initialized (checking if DOCKLET_DATA is NULL resolved the problem). ObjectDock is only calling OnProcessMessage after OnCreate

Yup, fixed in 1.2 :)

Thanks for reporting the bugs.
