DExposE Expose Clone

I have downloaded your application but when I tried to install I got a error that said I needed to include msvcr70.dll file to use with the application. I did download it and put in the system folder and the installation folder and then the error message came up again -during installation it gave another error that said I need to have more installation files to complete the installation -it stopped at 50 percent and then closed so I am stuck -what do I do? I have Windows XP Sp3 beta version

What other info would you need to help me solve this problem?

firecracker, read the readme there already are assigned hotkeys.

Nicely done. A tad slow but, it's early and the animation is nice. Also, the first one to display the Gimp properly. Thanks.

Wow, yeah, the virus alert is a big no-no. I don't care if it's a 3rd party app from joe schmoe or a multi-million dollar company - if it alerts me to a possible virus then it's not going on this computer. It'd be safe to assume there are many more people out there that think the same thing.

There are ways of programming in which you will not get this virus alert.

Once you get it the virus alert problem under control I might give it another try but until then WinExpose' does exactly the same thing and will remain on the computer instead.

well Winexpose doesnt give interactive previews i think

and also perhaps has not been ported to vista yet !

but that apart can u tell me what antivirus u r using

also have a look here (provided by ojalord)

http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/2af4bd5...13c8637d08ad194

to understand that its a false positive from a bloated av that u r getting

#493840

Don't understand the virus thing because I run both Avast and Comodo AV (the second is passed from command line) and there were no flags.

#493841

Hi kftrainer,

its not an error its only a warning to make sure the app works.

it is being shown to everyone not just u.

but why it stops midway in ur comp I cant tell.

maybe just try again. But the other error is maybe because some system files are missing or what?!

I am as confused with ur problem as u are

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi sirsmiley,

it only gets reported in avg and panda which are known for their false positives

this app has been around for 4 days now and u can ask anybody who is using it

to clarify.

also have a look at the virustotal link I provided

I myself was an avid avg user untill I made a research from various reviews and ratings

of top software sites and have settled with kaspersky internet security suite

if u have the chance of ever looking into the about dialog of avg then u will see

it uses the engine from kaspersky labs ( also f-secure and zonealarm etc use kaspersky's engine)

I know what I wrote and I am telling u it is absolutely a false +ve.

#493844

After reading your plans I'm very interested to see where this heads.

#493847

he sranshaft,

i think i fixed the problem with some of the antivirues

if u like i can upload the file right now

and u should have to tell me if warnings come up or not

#493859

@devrexster, you can use virustotal to check it out yourself...

#493861

yes but some crap people wont believe until it has not been approved by their crap wares

whatever we tell them

so I uploaded the newest version

people interested who were getting crap warnings before , can try the new file

and I am tired of this "virus" gimmick so please be supportive by posting the results

from your crap "antivirus"-wares here

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

edit: and as ojalord suggested here are the results from virustotal

Sorry, but calling 'my' antivirus crap is...a going a little too far. I hate to say, but no matter how great your program might be you've certainly lost a tester here.

I wish you all the luck but bagging a person choice in software because it did its job and alerted to a possible problem is just not on.

#493911

devrexster

the system file I was speaking of was msvcr70.dll and the dialog box told me to make sure I have this file in the installation folder -I downloaded it and put the file in my system folder and also the installation folder. and it still gave me that error message then later on it just quit at 50 percent completion

- Tell me how many files should be in the installation folder?

I hope that clears it up for you.

Thanks

Kirk

What is your antivirus? According to Virustotal, in the latest fixed version, only Panda and eSafe flag it. Before fixing, AVg was part of that list too. Since it is widely known that AVG and Panda give a lot of false positives, why not simply accept that and move ahead?

On my system, Nod32 didn't even sigh when I ran this app. And any antivirus that gives too many false positives is just bad programming on their part.

#493930

hi kftrainer,

actually if u already had microsoft c runtime, u dont need the dll or to have it in the

installation directory. U just need to know whether u have the runtime or not.

also hav u changed the default installation directory?

u may try by not changing it

as far as I percieve the package is working for most people and there are no files missing IN it

u may try the newer one uploaded yesterday at the main post

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, sranshaft,

u can make out how u would feel when somebody reports u made a "virus" when

u absolutely know u didnt .

just for the mistake of people making those antiviruses this issue has come up and

i had to rework my code to fit according to the mistakes of some people

I lost my cool and if I have hurt u I am sorry!

but I still stand by what I said ,these antiviruses are crap.

Hi devrexster, Today I've downloaded your app, but when I try to run it, it shows the Error Dialog ( "String not found" ), can you help me to solve this prob

Thanks

#493932

Hi devrexster, Today I've downloaded your app, but when I try to run it, it shows the Error Dialog ( "String not found" ), can you help me to solve this prob

Thanks

the app is running ok isnt it?

its just when u hover over the tray icon that it shows this?!

is this ur prob ?

thats a minor bug i found out myself so no need to worry i will put it right

OR

u r trying to run it as another user

just run the installer in the user u want to use DExposE2 on

cause currently DExposE2 supports one user per machine

that will surely solve this!

post the results please

********** New version *******************************

Hi ,

check out the new screenshot of DExposE-d windows

as u can see the major change is:-

Taskbar,sidebars,docks are shown in exposed mode

So basically it is the windows which get moved about without

disturbing anything else.

No problems with styler toolbar or anything as u can see.

Also no overlay over the wallpaper is used in current

version. Yes I decided to remove that. Will be customizable

when I do a settings dialogue.

Also as suggested by firecracker6 a few posts back,

I am giving the control to the F9 key also to enter exposed mode

I will be releasing the new version in few days.

Any suggestions to change or add anything ?

and also I have decided to release future developments here only !

i.e if I continue getting ur help

i am happy there are no major bug reports till now!

Anything u would like to bring to my notice immediately

post here!

Thanks beforehand!

************************** New Version *******************

#494110

Hmmmm downloaded the latest version. Still seems very buggy. Especially on dual monitors.

#494503

new version is looking good!

keep the good work.

i have a request, though. i think an exclusion list would be very useful. At least in my os there are some white "phantom" windows while being in expose mode which are quite annoying.

thanks

#494507

@Devrexster, could you release the first version but with some features of the newer ones, like the removal of that overlay thingy and fixing the way it resizes windows? A bugfix but no frills added.

#494513

Uploaded the newest version to

http://devrexster.googlepages.com/home

New features: ( read the Readme that comes up at the end of the installation , for more! )

1> All the features promised in my previous post ( assign F9 key etc. )

2> FOCUS FEATURE: ability to focus on all windows of a single application

( like notepad,explorer etc. ). Has been explained in the Readme which comes up

at the end of the installation. Has neat anmations for focussing and de-focussing

3> Installer has been more proffessionally programmed.

4> For those who have time try pressing Shift+F9 for exposing

@Devrexster, could you release the first version but with some features of the newer ones, like the removal of that overlay thingy and fixing the way it resizes windows? A bugfix but no frills added.

Actually it was soooooo simple that it is difficult. And it was not a overlay in the first version

but it actually "cleared up" the monitor and then restored it. So

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@wwdx

Exception list feature was actually already there IN IT ,from the first and will be customizable when i do a settings exe (Yes i plan to do a separate exe that way it would be easy!)

It is through a exception list in the program that it steers clear of docks,sidebars,Shell_traywnd etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@jive

yes , i know about the multimonitor problem. But it is only in customized desktop environments

( like with windowblinds etc.) I am working towards it and need to know certain implementation details of popular apps to ensure no conflicts

can u exactly tell me the bug. I had no other major bug reports till now (which is absurd )

so plz tell me ANY-bloody-bug u find plzzz!

Regards!

Hi,

It seems there are some problems installing the latest build (12.03) on Vista. I run the .exe downloaded from your site, 2 popup windows appear: one if I really wanna run this app 'couse the source cannot be verified, than the second is asking me if I allow the app to run (the installer that is) - that's UAC or whatever it's called, and apparently installation goes on pretty fine. But in the end, DExposE doesn't start, even more the app (DExposE) is nowhere to be found, the only thing in Program Files bla bla (the folder where the app should be) is the uninstaller.

I even tried to install it as administrator. Same result.

Any solutions for that?

#494694

i also have problems with build 12.03 in vista, the program installs bu the only thing that is installed is the uninstaller

any solutions?

#494713

@belgrano & @bennec83

Try to run it in xp compatibility mode

Will release a fixed version in a few days

Sorry!

Just realized a flaw in my installation program !

#494717

Ok , xp compatibility mode will do the trick. It's running.

Now there are a couple of issues:

1. I press F9 to expose all running apps windows, but when I move the mouse over the windows the magnification it's not so fluid - I mean it's working but the movement is a little choppy. It's like the magnification is done in 3-4 small steps. Same thing happen with all the docks when I hover the mouse over (and I've tried 'em all!). I heard this is an ATI vcards issue. Maybe that's the case here too. Perhaps I should drop ATI and go for nVidia once and for all.

2. Look at the PowerPoint window in the attachment. It seems that the capture of the window include other windows that were in front of it.

One more thing: it's not so much an issue merely a suggestion: the background when in action is whitish and it's not looking so good as if it was black (or fading to...). See attachment also.

Other than that it's a great app. Thanks!
