shockme17 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 yes, please continue to work on this- this seems so far, like a solid program- considering how early in development it is.. don't let this go to the graveyard like the other countless programs.. Link to comment
crucius Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 By the way it would be great if you would add an optional spotlight icon in the upper right for those people who may need it.thx Link to comment
keane Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 new version guys, skinning is done! this is only a preview, and following my previous patterns it will be polished up and a proper release will follow. Preview 0.2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -UNICODE support added (a ***** to fix so late in the game) so languages which require unicode should be support. ie. cantonese, mandarin, french characters, etc. -skinning implemented, supports ONLY png (keep it simple) in a folder with the skin name. -language support completely implemented, just awaiting translators assistance. -VERY alpha preference dialog -Custom application names, rosie now tracks EVERY program that is being run on the system and gives the option to rename it's display name. -Added an exclude list, for program's that do not work with rosie to keep their default behaviour. (although no GUI method to modify yet) -New bug introduced when rosie is closed, explorer crashes with no error code, and restarts instantly (VERY HARD TO DEBUG). So just don't close rosie Link to comment
crucius Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Thanks for the great update!However there is now a new thing bugging me a little bit:When I quit rosie and restard it it says that rosie is still running and is not able to relaunch.After I quit the app via taskmanager and relaunch it,just a white bar comes up where no bottons or other things are on.try to solve that problem,crucius Link to comment
shockme17 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 for crucius: "this is only a preview, and following my previous patterns it will be polished up and a proper release will follow."[please] try to solve your problem of not being able to read previous posts thoroughly.keane: great job as always, keep up the good work! and, will custom font support be introduced shortly?

keane Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 version 0.2 release. is out!I fixed the bug with explorer crashing and the bar not working.Language support is done. Everything just needs to be further polished although I am quite happy with it's stability.I am not saying do not give me suggestions, I still need them so that rosie can evolve. Just do not expect many new features until 0.4, because I am planning just to clean up my code, comment, and fix all the small memory leaks that exist.0.3 will mostly be an invisble release, because all changes will be in the source code. BUT expect a new, more organized preferences dialog.and just so i don't get repeat requests: features slated for 0.4--------------------------------------------------------Custom font support.Better skinning engine, with support for transparency, menu position, and custom fonts.Better recognization of custom menu's.System Tray Applet.Volume Applet.

I tried both, & I keep getting that error when trying to start Rosie... Link to comment

kftrainer Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hello Keane do you have links to the new updates or upgrades on your appor are you using the original link to hold the updates along with the original files? Link to comment
shockme17 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 the link is in the first post of the thread.. if you read it, you would have seen that it has been updated- using the same link.. or you could have downloaded the file and seen for yourself, instead of posting a question and waiting however long to get your answer.

Ertai88 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I'm not sure if this problem is fixed, and I can't check because I can't download the new version 'cuz I'm at the library, but Rosie hides QuickTime's PictureView's menu, causing the program (PictureViewer) to crash. I'll download the new version when I have time.-Ertai Link to comment
aLeaX Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 keane top notch mate, One quick question.How are u considering on making the spotlight applet? (To link to an external app or to do all the work by itself via indexing service maybe) thanks Link to comment
wengleung Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 slick program man but one question, is there any way i can access the exclusion list? Link to comment
crazybrit4967 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Wow, cool. One thing: in actual Windows menus, you just have to click once and then you can move the mouse along the row of options and the different menus will drop down without you having to click each one. On your finderbar, you have to click each one. Could this be changed/fixed?Also, for Windows Explorer windows, do you think you could make it have Explorer's actual menus instead of things like "new finder window"? It may not be as authentic but it would be a lot more funtional. Link to comment
philou Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 @wengleung:Exclusion list isn't implemented in 0.2@crazybrit4967:1. Problem with the menus automatically selecting, this is a problem I somtimes experience as well, I am not 100% sure why it's not working all the time but it won't be over looked as it is very annoying when it doesn't work.2. Good Idea, it would be cool to have the default exlorer menu accesible like Firefox' CompactMenu or something like that Link to comment
wengleung Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Preview 0.2----------------------------------------------------------------------------------......-Added an exclude list, for program's that do not work with rosie to keep their default behaviour. (although no GUI method to modify yet)......at philou, doesnt it have an exclusion list? it's just that we dont have a GUI to modify? is there a way to add to the system files in .ini or something?
