This isnt a bug or as such.

How come for the desklets there are now no option for the sub-label to show number of files or number of folders stored on that drive?

This option was in v1.2

EDIT: err... right, well something funky happened with Avedesk and it crashed, so when I started it up again the flip animation suddenly worked. However, now the sucky animation doesn't work

It worked after the crash because you need to restart Avedesk after adding swiftshader

The sucky effect doesn't work with it anyway - it's a SwShader problem anyway

This is a bug report thread so let's keep it this way.

photoshop, the option is still there. You just need to look before you post.

Items involved: AveDesk, Avetunes

The same problem here. So the full description will be:
Bug description: System tray icon doesn't appear at startup - there's only emty space in the tray, but it allows clicking on it to call AveDesk menu.

Items involved: AveDesk itself, I guess

I know how to solve that problem. When you install the new avedesk...make sure the other one is deleted from BOTH areas a folder is created. There's one i where ever you installed the file itself to...i.e., your C:Program Files....or elsewhere

There's also another folder that gets created in your system files which are hidden in your Documents and Setting. To get to that particular folder, you need to Click on your explorer menu-->Tools-->Folder Options-->Check Show hidden files and folders

Once that is done, go to your local disk, documents and settings, application data, and delete the avedesk folder there.

And there you go, problem solved

No idea what this is, maybe make a screenshot?

No prob. Pic1 is what happens after I hit AveDesk.exe, and before any Desk/Docklets load. Pic2 is what it continues into. (When this window launches, I have to hit cancel probably half-a-dozen times. Afterwards, my theme loads normally.)

tri1ogy: That's some weird stuff. Might be something related to a corrupt COM registry I guess.

#326712

@_cell--For your second bug, that's not really a bug. Just a feature that hasn't been coded in yet...it wasn't there for any of the other AveDesk releases, I don't think .

Course, I never really used them--were they working in older versions? :slant:

#326726

AS for the problem i was having...forget it!

I just used the desklets in Avedesk 1.1

IMPORTANT!

Your bug reports must be in the EXACT same form as the one above.

Bug reports in form that is different from the one given as an example will not be investigated due to the lack of necessary data.

Bug description: After reboot, at least 2 of my 3 icons do not appear on DT (Appearance Set For All 3 to Desktop Icon) See the Judge's Bug Post *** I never had a Explorer.exe crash though when these desktop icons keep disappearing after reboot...

Ave: in response to your PM (AndreasV has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space.):

Can you try this and report back to me? http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/***

Still has the same problem: I click the close button, and it simply dissapears. Do you still have the preview version of avedesk 1.3? I could see if the sucky effect still works there, if it doesnt, it could be something related to my machine only...

If I resize the translation widget and then flip it by clicking on the little arrow in the bottom left hand corner it sets itself back to the its original size.

Correct, not taking the current size in account when flipping. Will update it today.

Sometimes the systray icon for AveDEsk disappears. I suspect it is after explorer has crashed (!). I usually have a desklet that is glued to the desktop. These vanish too. I haven't tried to definitively reproduce it (i.e. by killing explorer) but I would guess a starting point would be:
Set the style of a desklet to 'desktop icon'
Kill explorer

@tray icon: I'm not resetting the trayicon after the shell sent a special 'ExplorerCrashedPleaseResetTrayIcons' message. Gonna update it.

@'desktop icon': Explorer.exe owns the desklet's window actually when set to 'desktop icon'. when explorer.exe goes down, the system destroys all windows being owned by that process, including the 'desktop icons'-desklets.

I could recreate those desklets when the shell is brought back to life, but I'm unsure how to destroy the desklets whose windows have been destroyed. The main problem is the desklets window is used for marshalling, synchronizing etc..

Special notes: I have try with different graphics card drivers, with windows taskbar lock/unlock or objectbar and with any of avedesk setting able or disable with no luck.

Edit: I just found that if I disable windowblinds it doesn't happen.So windowblinds it's involved too.

As far as I remember, the second bug I reported was about Cyrillic input in desklets... In earlier versions of AVEDesk the input was done through a common text input control and only on mouse blur displayed on a desklet and it was fine. Now as I can see desklets use some sort of their own input control ant there's this problem with language.

#326881

I'm using a specially crafted - by me of course- windowless control, I suspect I'm not handling WM_DEADCHAR or the likes.
