Zlip792 - thanks for the compliments, much appreciated. Please go to the github site and create an issue entitled "Urdu Language File" and I'll work with you to get that language supported.

Boss, done, now waiting for instructions from. Monday and Tuesday are off here so will work much more in that days. I will try to post its review on some forums (not spamming - proper review) as well as for needed exposure for great handy app.

A translation issue in English (US) (in my opinion):

There was a while problem checking for updates

it should be:

There was a problem while checking for updates

I think it should be like this way.. Progressing well on Urdu translation... ~50% done.

Also I saved XML in Unicode, is it OK?

will you be taking bug reports for GNP in the windows consumer preview? I've ran into a minor issue while running it in the preview.

As a rule of thumb I don't troubleshoot apps on beta builds (which includes RCs, CTPs, etc.) of Windows. Too much changes. You can spend hours debugging some quirk in the build only to have that quick fixed in the following build.

I'm going to release a minor update this week Wednesday (Eastern Time) afternoon. Nothing major, some new language support that users have contributed and a few minor fixes for edge case issues I've been seeing on my machine. I may or may not put together an installer for this, installers tend to be a pain in the ass.

Cheers

Like a walker in the zombie apocalypse that just won't die, I've been poking at GNP again. I've been making some updates to the code, and you can follow the progress here https://github.com/shellscape/Gmail-Notifier-Plus/commits/master/ (as you can see, did quite a bit today)

I also updated http://shellscape.org/ to prominently feature GNP.

I still want to get a good update checking type thing integrated before I release. Unless you're checking back here frequently (and with the hiatus lately, that's probably not the case) or following me on twitter (@shellscape) you're not going to know theres a new update unless the app tells you. The code's been there for a while, but disabled and incomplete.

Well, I have good news today. I've finished the seamless background auto-update feature and the remaining bugs are resolved. I'm gonna run this build for a day or so to make sure nothing crazy happens and then I'll package a release. Here's a few shots of what's new:

Running for a few days with zero errors. So we're good to go. I have one sticky problem with the new installer for 3.5 (the new version) to solve with regard to setting the program shortcut in the start menu. WiX is a bitch to work with. Once I get that figured out, we're good for a release. Thanks to everyone for your patience over the last few months in waiting for your fixes to arrive in a build.

Just added 30 new languages. Managed to leverage Bing's translate service (as Google's is now pay-for) to write a small app to translate the XML for me. Mind you, it's probably not 100% correct, but will probably be enough for users that don't read English well.

hi Andrew,

i have used this nice app from the first versions. but now i have problems: i installed windows 8 release preview and now preferences can't open so i can't create an account.

i found a way i can check my mail by using an old version 2.1.2 cause it used a different way of showing preferences window. but for some reason it captures focus every time it checks mail, so current program becomes inactive and it's not convenient (like i can't continue to scroll by mouse wheel until i press somwhere in the window to make program active again).

it will be great if you could make the newest version to run on windows 8.

The 3.5 installer is ready. (I hope) I'd like a few pre-release testers to give it a shot before I release. If you'd like to help with testing the installer, please send me a private message.

Registered here especially to offer my services as a pre-release tester. cool.gif

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By WaltC · Posted

      The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...

      Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 finally stops trusting a critical system threat

      By NXTwoThou · Posted

      There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
