Experience Index Returns (Open-source)

I believe the string fault is in the MUI, which was clearly never updated. So, I think the code produced is sufficient. Thanks for updating! I'm just compiling the new binary.

 

A test version is available (Not stable) v2.1.0 (expires 15.2.2020):
Removed deprecated beta.

If anyone willing could run an 'In-Depth' assessment and send me their session log, that would be great. The session log contains your culture name, operating system and strings I can translate to make your language compatible. This will also help me problem solve and compare data.

Instructions:
1. Open Xiret. For non Windows 10 users some fonts may be installed for full compatibility.
2. Click 'Tools > Run In-Depth Assessment' or just use shortcut 'Alt+V' and the assessment will start.
3. Wait for the assessment to complete, then click 'Export Session' (Enabled after the assessment completed).
4. Save the text file and upload it whichever way you like.

A clean virus total report and other details are included with the download.

Currently implemented:

Code:

en-GB, en-US, es-ES, de-DE

 

Hey thanks for testing.

Unfortunately I cannot do anything. You're correct as it's a direct output from the core of WinSAT.exe. Also I doubt I'll fix the UI (this isn't a no), there's only so much I can do with VB.NET and non-XAML components; fixing that would be wasting time. I also find it hard to optimize in VB.NET as opposed to C#. Thanks for the feedback on the previous changes.

I've corrected the capitalized 'I' in "Primary Hard Disk", and another good mention, I have changed "Last Update" to "Last Assessment". I took a look at your Session Log as 'he-IL', but it seems your system is in English. I think that the detection isn't working properly. I'll look into it.

Again sorry for the time taken, this application is really at the back of my pile and I find it hard to go back each time now I've permanently switched to C#. VB is hard garbage.

 

In that case he-IL must not be translated for WinSAT. I can leave it as default then. I'm thinking of doing common lang, and leaving it at that. Don't get me wrong, I want this release to be good but precious time is being taken by this application now.

 

Its doesnt really cause an error, more or less its solely to do with the status label updating; whereas when someone is running a normal assessment they don't get proper status updates.

 

Built in languages removed --- > replaced with lang.ini. If lang.ini is missing then default values are set (en-GB/US). See code below. "lang.ini" is expected alongside the application and can be translated per user; then if you want, can share it to a database I will post here.

If a database is shared please include your culture name, otherwise it will be rejected. Example: ja-JP... This is to ease adding each language to a shared database and testing it.

Code:

Private Shared ReadOnly IniFile As String = Path.Combine(Directories.AppPath, "Lang.ini")

Code:

    Friend Shared Function SetCultureStrings() As Boolean
        If File.Exists(IniFile) Then
            SetIniStrings()
            Return True
        Else
            SetDefaultStrings()
            Return False
        End If
    End Function

    Private Shared Sub SetDefaultStrings()
        FeatureEnumStr = "Feature Enumeration"
        MediaFoundationStr = "Media Foundation Playback "
        ExtendedMediaStr = "Extended Media Assessment"
        MediaEncodeStr = "Media Decode/Encode"
        MemoryStr = "System memory performance"
        StorageStr = "Storage Assessment"
    End Sub

    Private Shared Sub SetIniStrings()

        Try
            FeatureEnumStr = GetIniValue("Keys", "FeatureEnum", IniFile)
            MediaFoundationStr = GetIniValue("Keys", "MediaFound", IniFile)
            ExtendedMediaStr = GetIniValue("Keys", "MediaExtend", IniFile)
            MediaEncodeStr = GetIniValue("Keys", "MediaEncode", IniFile)
            MemoryStr = GetIniValue("Keys", "Memory", IniFile)
            StorageStr = GetIniValue("Keys", "Storage", IniFile)
        Catch
            MessageBox.Show("A fault was found in 'lang.ini', and defaults were set." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Please check the ini key names.", "Warning", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
            SetDefaultStrings()
        End Try

    End Sub

More instructions to come on how to build a custom file (Easy difficulty).

Thanks can go to @Carlos Detweiller for the suggestion. Ini should have been used for settings too.

 

BETA information removed so not to cause confusion.

 

@Carlos Detweiller
Here is the new process. Check for Lang.INI, if missing defaults are set. If Lang.INI present check for matching culture and set strings, if culture is not present, set defaults. Simple. To combat the translation issue for de-DE on Windows Vista, 7, this is the language string I have selected:

Code:

Wird ausgeführt: Bewertung der Systemspeiche
Cut off text from 'rl', or 'lr'.

Here is Lang.INI so far - 'FeatureEnumStr' is now removed as I've found a better way:

Cultures not needed [Russian], ...

Tested working on all operating systems for de-DE, no workarounds needed. I will release BETA2 later, so don't worry about testing the previous version.

 

I don't follow all this but last I heard it was today.

Sorry no BETA2 tonight, time for sleep and my domain is still down. However, I tried 50+ tests on all languages with no issues.

Introduced new method for 'Tools > Reset > Configuration':

Code:

        'Enumerate configs + storage files
        Dim HS As New List(Of String) From {
        Settings.AppdataSettingsPath,   'Settings (Appdata)
        Settings.LocalSettingsPath,     'Settings (Local)
        Settings.LangPath,              'Lang.ini
        Settings.AssessmentLogPath,     'Log file
        Settings.ImgurUrlsPath          'Imgur URL storage
        }

        'Delete files in list ^
        For Each Hit As String In HS
            If File.Exists(Hit) Then
                File.Delete(Hit)
            End If
        Next

        'Delete application directory
        If Directory.Exists(Settings.AppdataDir) Then
            Directory.Delete(Settings.AppdataDir)
        End If

 

I am going to change Lang.ini to another name, a few people have asked the same thing 'is it a language file'

I'm getting ready for release, and writing a read-me for the application. Maybe remove troubleshooting and open read-me instead.
