Aqua-Soft ForumsThanks pcm, I really appreciate your release and all. I just don't appreciate people that ridicule you for a problem that is out of your own control. (ie:zachriggle)
Great Release, PCM, thanks a bunch!
[release] AveScripter
What is the URL? if you don't mind telling me.The skin only supports RSS2 not RDF. Someone could very easly modify the skin to do RDF. Also, there is a bug with the feed if its a HTTPS. (Expect a fix this week I didn't think about https)
I see now, turns out that I was trying with my atom feeds, anyways I just got it work whit the AS RSS feed, thanks.
This is a much needed and long expected addition to AveDesk. Great work. I love the Weather and the Calendar Desklets. Great work to all involved.
I just want to let everyone know, before I get lots of emails with this question. You got my permission to hack and do what ever you want with the sample scripts that I bundled with. That was the point of the scripts to begin with. In the future update release I'll be writing that in the readme. The calculator script is Andreas, but I'm sure he is more than happy to let people hack away too.
On another note. I forgot to mention. There is a XML SDK document in the install directory of avescripter. The XML can be viewed using the XSL file there. I'll try to create a PDF or something a bit later.
To get the latest document, always look in that directory after an Update. Since I will always include it with updates.
Are you talking about the amount of "lines" you see from a RSS in the viewer? The skin could be adjust to put a limit. If you change the script code you could set a maximum.var ItemCnt = XMLFeed.GetValueCount('//channel/item');
Gets the amount the total of "items" a rss has. You could do something like this
var ItemCnt = XMLFeed.GetValueCount('//channel/item');
if (ItemCnt > 20) //limit of 20
{
ItemCnt = 20
}
Is this what your talking about? Or someone could make a Better version of rss and have it configurable. Or I can do it later after I do all the other more important things
Yep, so I can have more feeds than default. But a customizable version would be cool. Is it possible with avescripter to code a desklet that can be resized on the fly?
WIFI skin is coming.. I got a "Version" working just very ugly. Need some graphics and I can give you wifi
Is it similar to the one I mentioned a while back for capsules? It will be awesome if it can liveupdate with the speed and transfer rate!

The RSS shows only 6 at one time, you can scroll down and see the rest. The next release (Friday), you'll be able to scroll using the scroller of the mouse.
I was about to say, yes you can by doing the following
this.deskletwidth = this.deskletwidth + 10;
BUT that will resize the desklet and scale the image. I can very easly add a new command that would allow resize of desklet without scaling. I'll add that to my TODO list. Just before the ability to draw directly on a layer. ALA Canvas. Need to get the list typed out and public so people have an idea of what is left and what will be coming.
You could make a desklet with different sizes for each side.. New Ticker is an example of that. Small ticker in front and a large back side.
Since the author mentioned he gave full access for us to do anything we want, I was planning to port it over. I already have some of the code done when I did a small screen shot... just matter of going back and completing it.
can you set a custom rss feed with the rss widget ? where to go to do to this ?

hover your mouse over the bottom right corner.. then click what fades in.
excellent addition to avedesk. very smooth... just needs to grab a larger crowd of devs to make more widgets. though, it already comes with many widgets that fits most peoples needs. 
a question: i right click any one of the widgets it comes with... and i choose "control panel" and does nothing. is it supposed to or no?
excellent work.

Can you confirm the right click option not working... is it just the control panel or all of them? Is it also on all desklets?

it worked for the pidl widgets.. but now its working for the avescript widgets aswell. may have just been a weird thing on my computer.
i guess theres nothing wrong thanks.
just a suggestion .. but if the rss news feed had a silver border instead of orange, it would look like (but be better than) the Vista RSS reader
can I change the size of the text in the click box ? could do with being bigger 
I already increased the font a bit too.. after a few days of actually using it I notice it was a bit too small.
Now for color... I guess Kol would be the person to supply me a better one 
Amazing! All the desklets work great except for the image viewer, it gives me errors in the error log and won't display an images. Doesn't anyone have this problem...any ideas why it happens?
Another problem (avescripter is still amazing...just trying to fix some small things)...the itunes controller pause button stops the song instead of pausing it. Any ideas why...could multiplugin be causing this?

ITunes I'll fix since I actually told ITunes to stop and not pause. (My bad)
Can you give me the error in the log for the image?

Wow: a 0x80040111 - "ClassFactory Cannot Supply Requested Class".
The reason being: You don't seem to have an English-US system, like me.
The "My Pictures" part of some path seems to be hard coded and needs to be localized.
I have an english system...that's pretty weird. I'm running xp home with flyakite...
Then, my setup crashes earlier than yours
Look at this:
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/ng/microsoft.pu...ost20772229.asp
Then download the script debugger from http://www.microsoft.com/scripting.
So you can debug the script on yours, too.

Herd:
The default path I used is in the XML file of the picture. I use My Documents (Which is localized) and then append the words my picuters which isn't...
I'm adding more paths to the Scripter API.

Line 41 : var files = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
It would seem that you doesn't have Filesystem Active X installed. Which should be installed by default in XP.
