@a_catalin 1) The trigger change from "Missed Icon" to "OK" But appers the warning screen: 2) Do this test: -Select a trigger with an icon -Change the icon to another file -Click OK -Reopen the icon and click "Default" botton It select the original icon, but select by default all the icon of the set, not just the first --- Two little suggestion for the next version: 1) The %temp% folder of ExeBuilder is: C:\ExeBuilder Why isn't the same directory of Exebuilder or: C:\Windows\Temp 2) When the Exebuilder change icon, you can add a progress bar or a simply nag screen like "Waiting..." There is 2/3 sec with nothing changes on the screen, and i don't know if the software working or not ( working always, but i think is good choise to add a little progress bar ) P.S Mediafire now working again @virtualworld Why you don'use the new function of Spoon Studio: Scan desktop for installed application Make the flag to "Internet Explorer 8". Remember to be connected to the Internet during the operation
@johnmcloud 1) I think that this warning should still be displayed because it's not only about the missing files with icons, but also about the files loaded by the exe files from the *.dat file. For example if Winword.exe is missing, you can set an icon from a different file, yes, but when you build the dat file using Spoon Studio you'll get an error trying to start Winword.exe. 2) Sorry, I forgot to remove a line of the code. Fixed. And the suggestions: 1) In the versions that I released in last few days, most of the "action" is done in the %Tmp% for the current user, which is not in the C:\Windows\Temp but somewhere in C:\Documents and Settings\User_Name. Have you noticed recently some problems with C:\ExeBuilder? 2) I will think about showing a window with "Please wait". But for now I use external modules to get/insert icons so a progressbar will not be properly updated.
1a) Ok, understood. That file working ( in Spoon and ExeBuilder ), is simply .rtf in the same folder of directory. The warning is not a problem. 2a) Good 1b) No problem with it, but i think i a good choice to make all directory in a one folder. For example limited user on Windows 7 cannot make change on C:\ ( need admin rights ) Isn't my case or a problem, you can leave everything unchanged for now. 2b) If a progress bar is a problem, a simple "please wait" window is useful.
%Tmp% for the current user is always accessible to him/her even for the most limited user. Oh, and another reason to not use the current folder: in the old version I used the current folder and I had problems with some very long/deep paths - the exe files weren't properly generated (or the icons weren't properly inserted). highend showed me such a problem some time ago. Oh, and ExeBuilder is also virtualized and its folder C:\ExeBuilder have full isolation meaning that it can write in it even for a limited user.
@a_catalin Thanks downloading it now. @johnmcloud I've tried the new Spoon feature "scan desktop" and it ran to the same issue of closing when launching it. Thanks
I have made some other small improvements to the code. Since it doesn't seem that it is gonna be modified again in the near future, I updated the links in the first post of the thread.
Hi a_catalin, i have another idea. Can you make the possibiity to add the TAG to .exe's files? Like author, version, company ecc... I don't know if you can implement automatically TAG, but a manual form i think is useful.
Well, it's not a bad idea but it would not be so useful like the ability to choose icons. I will think about adding it a future version.
Yes, the icon is the best implementation to the Exebuilder. Another thing: You may implement to Exebuilder the feature the minimize on the start bar. Now you can only close the software or click on "Show Desktop"
That's easy to do. I haven't implemented until now because it's not a program that stays open a long time like Word so such a feature will not be used a lot.
I said I will not modify ExeBuilder for a while but you're forcing me to Kidding... I added minimize button + maximize button. I added maximize too because when you add minimize button automatically you get also the maximize button (this is the default "behavior" of a window in Windows). I also modified the splash screen: it says "Loading configuration..." before the main window is loaded and "Building exes..." after the Proceed button is clicked. The 2 links from the first post in the thread are updated.
It's not a bug. ExeBuilder is loading shortcuts made in Setup >> Shortcuts section and not the ones from Startup file >> Multiple. Why? Because in Setup >> Shortcuts section it finds a better description for the file (for example a name: do you prefer Winword.exe or "Microsoft Word 2010"?). The splash screen appears in the center of the main window and the main window appears in the center of the screen. Does the main window appear centered on the screen? Later edit: sorry I don't know how that "angry" smiley appeared and I can't remove it
Don't worry for the angry face. So i have to make a shortcut to desktop before capture, then i have the correct link to ExeBuilder. Right? Or i have to edit the setup in spoon? For the window. The shapshot is a window maximized, so is in the center. But the "Building Exe" isn't. Check this exemple.
Usually when you install the application to capture it it creates these shortcuts so you don't have to create them yourself. But there are rare situations in which you will have to create the shortcut so ExeBuilder could know which name to use when it will create the exe. You can create the shortcut on desktop during the capture or in Spoon Studio's interface after. On my computer I don't have this problem but I will reset the position of the splash screen after the Proceed button is clicked.
