Post anything that looks odd.  Make sure to give us system information like your OS (including 32 or 64 bit), and if it's hard to explain (or even if it isn't) a screenshot.

- Not reproduced: layout/font issues with script editor and object browser

 

Am I the only one that get that stupid Bangshe font when I use the Script editor? I've have that on ALL computers I've tried running Vista or W7...



Ohh! Is that what that font is called? I thought that crossed out W for a backslash was some kind of glitch. Yeah. I get the same, and I've heard others do, too.

Me too...dangit!!

Same here.  Can post screenshot if needed.

I'm not sure what the issue is with the object browser - not something I've mentioned along with my reports of the script editor font.

 

I'm only aware of the script editor font issue. Which would not be an issue if the propery page that let you set the script editor font would remember the setting.

 

I wonder if that entry in the changelog refer to this issue. Seeing how we're quite a few people affected it's odd if it can't be reproduced.

Is it just me or is the object list now stuck always on top of all windows?

How to run DX 3.5 And DX 4.0 "side-by-side" (you can't have both of them running at the same time though)

  1. Go to %Program Files%\Stardock\ and make a copy of the DesktopX folder (and rename it to DesktopX3 for example). 
  2. Install DX4.0 (doing a clean install might be preferable)
  3. Plugin path is hardcoded (and probably object/desktops), so you will have to copy the SDPlugin folder from the old location (DesktopX3) to the new version folder.
  4. If you want to have the old plugins available to DX4.0, you need to copy them to the new plugin location too. There are located in %ProgramData%\Stardock\DesktopX. Simply copy the files you want from the SDPlugin folder in the DesktopX3 installation (do not overwrite the new dll files, especially DXAxHost.app/dll)
Note: When switching between the two versions in DXBuilder with an existing theme loaded, you might encounter problems (it happened to me once and it caused DXBuilder to crash on start), so make sure to export the theme/gadget you're working on, go to %LocalAppData%\Stardock\DesktopX\CurrentTheme and remove all the files. DXBuilder should then start properly and you can reload your theme and continue working on it.

What about archiving? Haven't tried it myself (I forgot to set this before I updated to  4) You can set Impulse Preferences to archive programs before updating. Then you could always restore to an earlier version.

I don't know if this is a DX4 thing, but it seems object.persiststorage fails on export to gadget. Gadgets do not remember settings stored in this manner. I didn't notice this happening before. Can anyone else confirm?

on Jan 31, 2010

I'll check it on XP if you point me to a gadget on WC that I can try it with. (Or is it just on something you create at this point?)

Here's a recent object I was working on  http://www.box.net/shared/jzcr4shkzd

It's pretty simple. Saves the image to persiststorage on click. Restores the image from storage on start up. Export to gadget and it doesn't remember the last saved image, reverts back to the image it was exported with.

I'm on DTXStandard so I can't export to gadgets (I guess I can say that lockout is working).  I exported it as a widget and it does retain the last image setting but I know that's not what you were asking.  It would have to already be a gadget before I can check that.
