2.0 coming...

[PikachuEXE]

I think there is no need to have a uninstall function
Because no install, it is useless.
Only delete all files is OK for uninstalling, isn't it?
Install function is not suitable for a developing,
I mean not completed program
Because it is too complex

Why complex?
1. Remove the settings from the registery.
2. Remove the configuration file. (.ini)
3. Remove HFS from the shell context menu.
4. Remove the HFS executable. (hfs.exe by default)

[rejetto]

are you sure HFS cleans all the settings from the registery when you use the uninstall feature?

er, i didn't test
anyway, there are only 2 places where to look

When I use the Update function, there is a problem (not the one described above):

could you please tell me how to reproduce this problem?

[rejetto]

HFS can save settings to registry
someone complained because he deleted the exe but things remained in registry: he didn't cleared settings before deleting.
but many people will not clear settings before deleting, so...the feature.

beta32 @ www.rejetto.com/temp/hfs2.0beta32.zip

what's new
+ Menu -> Other options -> "Keep old version updating"
+ Menu -> Limits -> "Max contemporary addresses"
+ Menu -> Limits -> "Max contemporary addresses downloading"
- possible crash quitting

[Mike Hunt]

rejetto,

I got a couple of questions re: v2.0 beta 32...

1.) What does "Keep old version updating" do?

2.) Re: the "max contemporary addresses and downloading" addition to limits... did you make any additions to the default template because of these?

Thanks,
Mike

[Mike Hunt]

rejetto,

Sorry.  1 more question....

Is there much difference between the two limits below and if so what is it?

"Max contemporary addresses downloading" and "Max contemporary downloads from a single address"?

Mike

[Mike Hunt]

rejetto,

Just came across something else.  Menu/Other Options/Shell context menu - when I click on it nothing happens.

Mike

[rejetto]

1) it is a recent FR. if you disable this, no hfs.old.exe is created updating.

2) no change to the template.

3a) "Max contemporary addresses downloading", e.g. only 3 people can download at once

3b) "Max contemporary downloads from a single address", e.g. everyone can download only a file at once.

the last is very useful for people who hates having 8 streams open by download managers.

4) it makes appear "Add to HFS" in the shell context menu (right click on a file/folder)

[Mike Hunt]

Thanks rejetto. :^^:

[Martok]

could you please tell me how to reproduce this problem?

1. I clicked on "Check for Updates", then HFS told me there is an Update.
2. Then I chose to download it. This is done correctly.
3. Then a DOS-Box pops up and HFS is closed.
4. A new HFS is opened, this is the new version.

The error I described (DrWatson opening) happens somewhere between 3 and 4.

I will try to translate some parts of DrWatson's log:

HFS itself is not able to produce an error log as it is terminated before.

This error is still existant with 2.0b32 and fully reproducable on my machine which is as follows:

I updated with the built in updater since beta 30, and have no errors so far at all (on a win 2003 eneterprise box). Just one question (more like a request), is there a way to add the date on the downloads? The time shows next to thefile being downloaded, but the date would be nice also.  When I check mine, I see all these downloads and all these times, but I have no idea what day they were taken. I hope I was clear in all this mumbling ramble.

Your system doesn't show a file date for files on your system :?:

If I'm understanding you correctly, that is strange and has more to do with your system rather than with HFS.

No problem with date and time file stamps here on my system or pages produced with HFS.

[rejetto]

is there a way to add the date on the downloads? The time shows next to thefile being downloaded, but the date would be nice also.

what are you talking about, the webpages produced by HFS, the log, the disk of the client machine?

[rejetto]

in the Background you see that HFS is Up&Running again.

the one running on the background, is the old version or updated version?
