DiscMounter 0.1

[metroid87706]

This looks great. I have to get .Net Framework, but I'll post my opinions after I use it.

EDIT: Ah, same error, when applying settings.

I also get an error quitting, saving icon positions, everything!

I think you need to look at your code again.

[Sranshaft]

Instead of just saying, "You need to look at your code again", why not tell me what the errors say? I know about the settings button and no, I do not know what is causing this. Everything here works fine so it's hard to test for errors on that part when no errors appear... As for the quitting error, it's the first I've heard of it and I haven't had any trouble with it. Also, include the particulars of your computer, things like your operating system, language and whether or not you have active desktop enabled / icons on the desktop.

Get back to me with error codes and I'll see what I can do. I'll also be releasing a debug version for those having trouble with errors popping up so can get a better look at what is breaking down and where at.

[SirSmiley]

Works great for me. Nice job.

I'm not running the most recent updates to .Net but, .Net 2 is fully up-to-date.

Just one feature request but, not anything pressing. Is it possible to add an option for aligning the drives to the right like in Styler?

Think I've got some source code for this either in vbs or .net. Let me know if you want it.

[thelocaluk]

@thelocaluk: DiscMounter should place a shortcut in the startup folder if you select the feature. I decided to go this route because I didn't want to play around with the registry - though that's always a possibility.

I'll add that in to the next update and see if it works for you. New update should be available shortly. I've just finished streamlining the code a little and putting in icon positioning.

Great to see plenty of updates

I manually placed a shortcut to the startup folder because its just not having it on my computer.

[Sranshaft]

@SirSmiley: Great to hear everything is working on your end. It's a good day when things go right for a change. Sure thing on the request! If you have the code, send it on over. I should be able to modify my icon placing coding but if you have some already available it makes it just that easier.

@thelocaluk: Thanks, I try to fix things as soon as possible. Since the way I've got it adding itself to the startup isn't working, I'll go ahead and add in a registry option as well.

New version should be available tomorrow. I've got some movie watching to do with the wife tonight.

[Sranshaft]

New version is now available! Check the first page for the download.

Version 0.7 - November 7, 2007

• Added option to use either shortcut in startup folder or the registry for auto-run when Windows starts
  
• Added option to place newly mounted drives on the right side of desktop (requested by SirSmiley)
  
• Added in some error logging with regards to saving preferences
  
• Fixed a bug regarding save icon positions
  
• Fixed a bug regarding renaming Audio CDs - it now should store the name of the audio CD thus stopping DiscMounter from polling CDDB every second
  

[SirSmiley]

For some reason I didn't see the Save Icon position before which kind of makes my request redundant.

Either way the right click feature isn't working for me and I'm now getting the attached Exception when I try to save the Icon Position or quit.

[Relativity_17]

I get this error as well, both on saving icon position and quitting.

See the end of this message for details on invoking 

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

New version is now available! Check the first page for the download.

Version 0.7.1 November 7, 2007

• Fixed the icon saving bug for good hopefully - you should no longer get the 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80020009): Exception occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020009 (DISP_E_EXCEPTION))' error
  
• Fixed the Preference bug - you should no longer get the 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' error
  

[mushu13]

Still get the 'Object reference....' error, but I realized it does save the preferences on exit in

%userprofile%Local SettingsApplication DataFour13_DesignsDiscMounter.exe_url_1.0.0.0user.config

Although the above file doesn't save the 'GetInfoFromCDDB' setting.

[Sranshaft]

This is designed this way. It won't save the preferences if there was an error. I've just updated the newer version which should solve this - I ditched the old way of setting the 'Auto-start' method. If the user.config file in the Application Data folder doesn't match the DiscMounter.exe.xml file found in the program folder, close DiscMounter and delete the whole '...Application FolderFour13_DesignsDiscMounter' folder. It should then rewrite the new config file.

[SirSmiley]

Works great. Excellent.

I had to disable Align to Grid but, don't need that if I'm using DiskMounter anyway.

[Sranshaft]

@SirSmiley: Good news! One thing though, you shouldn't need to disable "Align to grid"...at least it seems to work here just fine with it enabled. In any case, I'm just glad to see things working.

I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm running Vista Ultimate - could that be the reason?

[Sranshaft]

@apfel and everyone else having the above issue: Are you also running Vista or are you running XP?

[Husaini HB]

Hi,Scranshaft,I love this apps,got the latest,with a lot of bugs on the previous ver.Now I got this warn every time I click the CDDB option,cause the CDDB won't work,you know this apps make much different it comes with CDDB,your previous ver worked all right (CDDB),please find out,thank's,appreciated,looking forward

XP SP2 all updates as of Monday.

[hypersummer]

Issue 1: When I plug in a removeable device (in this case is a card reader), it create a shortcut to desktop and a redundant file, "Drive G.ink" and a file called "Drive G" in 0 byte

Issue 2: When I plug in second removeable device, it will re-create shortcut of first device, and don't create second one.

Issue 3: Can't apply setting (System.NullReferenceException ==> apply_Button_Click)

Issue 4: SetIconsToRight option not only move icon, it align some (not all file) to right from my desktop

[arius33]

Thanks for the Program!! I am using windows vista business, cd icon aligns but not usb, can't find network drive, and also will not save configuration ( had to edit manually ) I tried running it as administrator also still same problems.

Thanks again for the program, just what i needed
