RK Launcher 0.3 - BUG REPORTS

Op, and I've found a bug: my currently running (i.e. non-minimized) apps don't show on the dock. If I check the "Show New Applications" box, it lists EVERY process i'm running (including AveDesk, Konfabulator, svchost...etc), but not the non-minimized apps. Also, there is no "Apply" button for the settings, so we can't keep them :P

on version: BETA 0.4 BUILD 134

#281762

there's no Apply button because changes take place imediately

Also the "Show New Applications" only shows all processes the first time U click it.

you have the option to right-click on any of them in the Launcher and choose 'Never Show In Dock'

from this time on every time U open an application a new icon will appear there, and when U close it the icon will disapear.

and this is how it should work ;)

NO BUG REPORTS FOR NIGHTLY

#281916

Many users e-mail-ed me about the problem with 0.3 beta that it does not change the settings on restart.

Here's how to make it save the changes:

1. add/change/remove anything

2. right-click on separator - exit/quit RK Launcher

3. start RK Launcher again

now your settings will remain even when you restart.

I am using 0.4 Beta Build 134 but it also does this with the 0.3 release.

When I bring my mouse to the bottom of the screen in most games, the game minimises. I can confirm it does this with:

Guild Wars

Battlefield: Vietnam

Lego Star Wars

Rayman 3

Star Trek: Elite Force 2

#285682

Version 04 b 144 still does not saves the changes made to th color, font, etc of the labels

Whem importing yz backgrounds, the imported backgruond doesn't include the poofs and the indicator

thanx

#289211

"No bug report on nightly builds" means anything to you?

Changes made to font are saved. You can copy/paste the poofs and indicators, then edit the file theme.conf

just uncheck the 'Use Margin Hotspot'

the games won't quit on you anymore ;)

Maybe it would be good to have an exclusions menu for the hotspots, or not let the hotspots work if some sort of video mode has been entered.

#291107

Silent Hunter III also works perfect :cool:

#291112

hm. the launcher crashes everytime i use this docklet. i miss this docklet.

hope capatibility will improve. thanks!

also, i still don't know why itunes still minimizes to the dock even when i press teh close button.

#293538

It worked for me, but when i tried to remove the docklett to use it with avedesk it cleaned up my itemlist file :(

#293564

same with me! i had to recustomize everything.

#293772

All I can say is that I'm sorry - the iTunes48 docklet successfully detects AveDesk and doesn't try OD hacks on it. Now it needs to recognize RKLauncher as well or RKLauncher needs to get "bug compatible" with Object Dock.

Edit: there is no workaround yet, since the present latest build does not save docklet settings.

A better solution, among some improvements suggested at wincustomize, is on its way.

#293799

same with me! i had to recustomize everything.

That's why I always have a backup of RK Launcher.conf and itemlist.conf ;)

#293800

please herd tell me what are the bugs in OD for which I have to make it compatible...

and I'll do it ;)

There are a few bugs in iTunes48 desklet that keep it from running under RK.

Per default, it tries to find the default running indicator bitmap that does only exist on OD:

		GetModuleFileName(NULL, pth, MAX_PATH);
PathRemoveFileSpec(pth);
PathAddBackslash(pth);
PathAppend(pth, "Running Indicators");
PathAddBackslash(pth);
PathAppend(pth, "Default.png");
img = DockletLoadGDIPlusImage(pth);

Crude, but works on OD.

Per default, it starts its host again with some parameters for "dock smoothing", OD specific hack that we were talking about.

However one find that can be fixed on RK:

iTunes48 can't remember its settings under RK, because RK wipes them all if you write an empty string to it with PrivateWriteProfileString API. An empty string works with OD but not with RK.

Otherwise, you can manually add and overwrite its default settings by editing itemlist.conf:

[RKDockItem]
type = docklet_od
name = iTunes48
icon = DockletPath:itunes.png
show = normal
path = iTunes48/iTunes48.dll
loaded = 1
configIniFile = dockletstemp.ini
configIniGroup = Docklet
AlbumArt = 1
DockSmooth = 0
ClickStart = 0
Indicator = 0
Monitor = iTunes.exe
Caption = iTunes 4.8 $A: $T
BackImage = c:programmerkdockdockletsiTunes48iTunes.png
RadioImage = c:programmerkdockdockletsiTunes48Radio.png

Adjust the paths accordingly.

A RK-resistant version is on its way.

#294034

I traced all your DockletLoadGDIPlusImage calls and it's parameters.

it never tries to read anything that contains "Running Indicators"

I noticed one thing though... first time it tries with "" (empty string)

Note: btw I already fixed the problem with RKL not writing configs that have no value (nothing after '=')

it'll be available in the next nighty

#294158

Hmm, the "detect fullscreen windows" feature doesn't seem to work with Counter-Strike: Source, it still makes the game minimise.

Unless it detects them for another reason?

#298377

SO far RK has treated me lovely. Only problems im having now are:

1. When i select start with windows then close it dosent save my changes, nor does it start with windows.

2. It would be nice to see .ico support at one point.

other than that, I am worshiper at the temple of RK.

Note: using the latest nightly build.

#298550

.ico support is there from the beginning

you just have to put them into the 'icons' folder

in the latest build you can even browse for them

start with windows doesn't work yet :)

and please no more bugs for nightly builds ;)

since it has unimplemented features and I would receive a lot of messages for bugs that aren't really bugs but unimplemented features...

the nightly builds are not official releases so they can contain a lot of unimplemented features...

#298708

im so very sorry, ill be sure to point out real bugs when the next version comes out, but im sure not to find not find anything. ;)

#298789

For some reason when ever I click the Trash Bin docklet I get a Windows Error that says

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performic this action. Creat an association in the Folder Options control panel."

#306065

"FireFox Memory Issue when minimized to dock"

FireFox is not releasing its memory usage when you minimize it to the dock. If you keep Firefox running for prolonged periods of time you will see that its memory usage increases. Normally when you minimize FireFox to the taskbar it releases a major portion of its memory usage, but when minimized to RK Launcher it retains the accumulated memory and it keeps building up until you have to shut down both RK Launcher and FireFox. Also when you have mutliple tabs open in FireFox and you minimize it to RK Launcher, the dock will show multiple instances of FireFox.

Sorry for the report, I like this dock so much and that minimize to dock feature is just so cool that I want to use it without the hassle its bringing about right now.

#307508

HEY, BLIND PEOPLE!

Is it so hard to read 3 posts above?

No bug report for the nightlies!

What is so hard to understand? What the f*** is wrong with you?

Don't you think Raduking knows already? That's why they are called nightly builds.
