AndreasV Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Bug description: Adding a PidlShortcut via: Control Panel's Menubar: Desklets->add.. and clicking on the top level PidlShortcut entry on the left side of the "Add Desklet" Window, then clicking the "Add Item" button, causes the Default Desklet to appear but as a "AveDesk Tutorial" Desklet. This does not seem right. That's because the settings of the latest removed desklets are saved and re-used when re-creating the desklet (not a skin). Clear %APPDATA%/AveDesk/Defaults . The (already opened) Control Panel remains minimized on the taskbar and for all outward appearances, nothing happens. One might think that something went wrong. Threading bug nice catch.

kevcart3 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I thought I would use the "method" described in the first post: Bug description: Laggy window dragging, major CPU usage. Windows Version: Windows XP Home Edition w/ SP2 and latest updates DirectX version: 9.0c System specs: Athlon64 3200+ | 1.25 GB DDR RAM Graphics card & drivers version: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB w/ Catalyst 5.11 Desklets running: Any Steps to reproduce: Drag window (firefox is really bad for it) over the desktop and cpu usage rises dramatically and the window dragging becomes very very laggy. Like I mentioned, not sure it's a bug, but for me it is an annoyance. And if it helps, AveDesk 1.2 DID NOT do this, it ran VERY VERY smoothly on my pc, so I don't know what's up. Thanks Link to comment
AndreasV Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 laggy windows is caused by ATI's new Catalyst 5.11 driver. I have changed the dragging code to be multi-monitor friendly in 1.3, but, unfortunately, ATI's Catalyst 5.11 drivers seems to have a bug with layered windows with some combinations of hardware.

Zxian Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Bug description: Network shortcut image doesn't appear if network location cannot be found. Items involved: PIDLShortcut Windows Version: Windows XP SP2 (fully patched) DirectX version: 9.0c System specs: Pentium-M 1.4GHz, 1GB RAM Graphics card & drivers version: 32MB ATI Radeon 9200 Mobility, Catalyst 5.6 (won't run on anything higher) Desklets running: Lots of PIDLShortcuts, FTP desklet, SysStats Vertical Calendar (modded) Steps to reproduce: 1) Create a PIDLShortcut and point it at a network resource (computershare) 2) Disconnect from network 3) Close AveDesk 4) Restart AveDesk Special notes: It's not that the desklet doesn't appear. It's just the image of the desklet that doesn't show. (see screenshot) Full screenshot when working properly I don't think that this has anything to do with AutoMounter, since the desklet is there. I'm just guessing though. Link to comment
