Hey dude, I sent you a new conversation last night as testers already got a private version so check your inbox
Overall, it looks very good so far. Small Issue #1: Visible at the bottom, the border can be a bit irritating/confusing when being white-on-white, as there's no frame (at least for me). The window looks "open". Small issue #2: The System Scoring text is still out of placement and truncated at 125%. Very small issue #3: The line showing the Primary Hard Disk does not show all information, and there is no Tooltip. Issue #4: On Windows 7, Windows and Xiret seem to disagree on the Gaming Graphics score. Granted, the Score is outdated, but the information should still match. Addendum: Could Xiret show if the score is outdated and needs to be refreshed?
@Carlos Detweiller - I've noted the issues and am working on them now. I'm bringing my 4K monitor up and plugging it in. And as for the outdated scores, yes I should be able to impliment that so I've marked it down too. One last thing, could you please upload and send me your winsat scores files and winsat.log so I can cross reference what is going on with the scores, there is a new system for reading them and there may be bugs. Thanks! 4K scaling is dog ass on Windows EDIT: I forgot to set Xiret to use Winsat Log Reader V3, Qué idiota - Fixed. @Tiger-1 - Yes and I'm sorry I forgot to send it to you, I'm building you a version now and I'll message it across (just working a few things out first)
@Carlos Detweiller 1. Added dropshadow to determine edges on white background 2. Changed to Winsat Log Reader V3 3. Minor UI tweaks - More to come 4. Added assessment validity with new corresponding colors for big base score text Just building a test version for eveyone. Release soon.
Bugslist: 1. Notification does not detect taskbar location and shows through taskbar - Fixed with a WinAPI call which detects the taskbar location (top, bottom, left, right or autohide) and moves the notification to a more appropriate position. 2. Notifications show behind other windows - Fixed by setting notifications topmost when activated then the form is brought to front. 3. "Operating System" shows "Professionalfessional" error - Fixed by removing string formatting. 4. Assessment State not matching correctly - Looking into issue 5. Scaling issues on 4K monitor and higher Dots Per inch - Looking into scaling issues 6. Gaming scores are incorrectly read below Windows 10 - Fix in progress
Damn it! I'm used to MDL's old system with the popup notifications Comparing the verison you have sent via PM and the latest one, the line showing the Primary Hard Disk now truncates the information, but still no tooltip. I'm guessing this issue can be applied also to other fields. Issue #3 in this link is back in this build. The notifications are not on top of other windows (including Xiret's own window). Same for issue #4 in the same link (unless Vista is again supported / you think it's a good idea for users to know?). If I'm not mistaken, you've said in the past you're planning on implementing an option to view all assessments ever recorded on a given system..?
Hey buddy, thanks so much for testing. I'm adding these issues to known issues now and I'll get on top of them. Also, yes I am adding the option to view all assessments but my combobox for the framework has not been completed yet. Is xiret reading your latest scores even after restart? We've hit winsat log reader version 3 so I'm hoping fixed all issues.
For now it looks okay, but I guess time will tell, as this issue can be reproduced after a while, for some odd reason. One more thing: Right when Xiret initializes itself, the "Off" string in the SHOW HARDWARE section looks like it flickers, but after bisecting it to frame by frame, I see it's actually the labels "Processor", "Memory", "Graphics" and "System Drive". It may look okay on slow machines, but on fast ones it looks like a flickering. You may want to do something about that, though I have no idea what else can be done.
Well the class now detects regional differences and runs through each file with flags, in the end only one file is left behind which is the latest formal assessment. As for the informational text that is too fast, I'll find some other way around it, maybe something generic. May be seeing a BETA 2 tonight. Although dude, I don't get the you mean by no tooltip?
I was referring to Carlos's post here, issue #3. In the new build there should be a tooltip when hovering over the text (to view the entire value), as now the text is trucated. See screenshots: From the build you've sent via PM: From the lastest build: The "931. ..." text is now hidden, and when hovering it there is no tooltip.
Ah I see now, I'll figure out a fix. A tooltip wouldn't be appropriate as I want all the data viewable if a user takes a printscreen or uploads one. Thanks buddy
Tested Beta1: Small issue #1: Solved with the drop shadow. Small issue #2: Test is still not shown completely. Maybe you should display an external document, like you already do for the "Troubleshooting. I'm running at 125%, but there are also 150% and even bigger scales. Very small Issue #3: It is still present, as already noted. Issue #4: Xiret and Windows still disagree on the values shown. Even worse, Xiret now shows that values are current when they clearly aren't. The 5.3 displayed for Gaming graphics in Xiret is erroneous, as otherwise, the main score would reflect that value (main score is always the lowest value of all). WinSAT files attached. From what I could gather by a quick scan, Xiret is displaying the "Dx9SubScore", rather than the actual "GamingScore".
I find it hilarious how it says "Windows 7 Professionalfessional", then I realise that's my coding Issues 1: Awesome, I plan to add a border also. Issue 2: Looks like I'll have to make the Windows bigger, I just cannot fit it all. Issue 3: I'm on top of this, so consider it fixed. Issue 4: The XML reader must be messing up somewhere, I'll add your scores into my system and run the debugger. Also as for your assessment showing as valid, I could only find one way to extract score validity at short notice, I'm looking into another ackup way. Thanks buddy, I appreciate this. It feels like a complete fistfight with scaling
Must be something unique to Windows 7, then. Scaling works probably very differently from Windows 8.1 and up.
Currently working on the scaling. I've been reading through an article that will hopefully help. Windows scaling on 4K works just dreadfully, may have to switch on to .net 4.7.
