Cool, maybe I'll include it with the other 2 Screenies. :)

Hey I just got a great little idea for a change. How about making the boxes on the installation menu grey out when they are not expanded and some of the options are unchecked? That way a user can know at a glance if a whole tree is selected or only parts of that tree.

Yeah, I was talkin' to Raptor about that... we'll see what we can do. :D Anywho, I'm off to bed... be good everyone! ;)

No problem ^_^

I would like to knew whether it is possible to use ASCII codes in the .dat file! Specifically for using danish letters in the text. Currently when i type one of the three different unique letters in danish, the result is a weird looking greek numeral. Can I use ascii codes to replace the letters, and get a decent result?

was wonderin if there were any plans on includeing the visualbasic librarys? and other required .dll .ocx 's ... etc...

tabctrl.ocx richedit.ocx ? ? yadda yadda yadda..

dont worry... AutoPatcher will automatically copy the three OCX files it need onto the user's system folder :D... But i dunno about the rest... Ill prolly look around and might come up with a list of some control libraries for VB based apps

/Raptor

No, nobody is working on it even though I said I could help :o

thats prolly because i said you have to form a small group... i dont think you can possibly manage to carry out the whole thing... next step is to make a topic about it.. i.e AutoPatcher Windows 2000 Group, form a team and then work with me and flishfun, so we can glue everything together...

Unfortunately the VB6 version of the treeview control does not support it... I hope this changes when SP6 comes out for VB6... but for the time being, VB6 SP5 looks very old with outdated controls... I will still look into it and i might be able to find an alternative way to do this... who knows...

/Raptor

cool

Wouldn't that be illegal to do. It's a product that while it's a good idea, none of it belongs to Autopatcher XP compilers. I am not against it, but it's not a wise idea to charge for the discs. I think this is a good product. If someone wants this on a cd, they should find a friend with broadband and burn a copy from that friend.. Just a suggestion, I am not a player hater!

AutoPatcher show you that, because all the labelsand texts use the Greek Script (hey, I live in Greece, can't possibly refuse to install support for it hehe)... If you want to help make a danish version of AutoPatcher, form a small group which will find all equivelant updates and then I will just make a new .exe for you. And if you want, you might be able to supply Danish translations of all the labels...

we will look into this...

What about some generic drivers.... ATiCatalyst, NForce?

I know its a bit more difficult with drivers, as everyone has a different setup... but as of late, some of the main drivers are all in ones, for all cards of a particular chipset.

Probably in practice, its not a good idea? Just a thought!!!

You really need to get on MSN Messenger. ;) I'll get you started. :D

ok, i would like very much to be involved but i do NOT program any way i would likes 2 learn vb6 hopefully in the short future.

as for batch programming i am very good, and for gathering updates i am available also if used CD Dispatch i can do no problem if anybody is intrested to UK only.

please PM me your MSN Signin name and i will add you that way we can discuss more.

The charging wouldn't be for the components of the program. You'd be paying for the shipping, the CD, and a little bit (maybe 50 cents) to the AP itself. You're not buyin' the updates, you're buying the convinience, and as long as that's noted on the site (which it will be), it shouldn't be illegal. :)

check your neoinbox :D

Hello All,

I'm just adding my 2-Cents here, so don't start to criticise etc.

- First the AP should be mainly about Windows Updates and Windows related issue.

- The Java and Direct X are excluded from what I mentioned above.

- I think that Flash should be included in the new pack and any other really necessary stuff.

- I think it should contain as many registry tweaks as possible. (http://www.tweakxp.com) Everytime I format my HD, I spend about 1 hour on this site tweaking my system with the tweaks that are worth it.

- I agree with those who posted that you should have a main set and then the goodies set.

- AP should also have the option to state or diable the updates that are already installed.

- Maybe it can have the option to reverse what you included.

Example: I installed Msn 6.1.0.555 or whatever when I ran AP. Now I don't want Msn 6.1.0.55 again. I'll then launch AP, choose the option to remove msn 6.1.0.555 (I've seen this with Symantec products, like Systemworks.

===================================

- Maybe you can also create some script or application that can let users make Neowin_unattended_CD_Guide_for_XP (This can be a separate project)

This is what I had in mind. My imagination can be wild so bare with me. :D

A user download some type of app or script.

He runs it.

A pop up screen appears stating to insert your Windows XP CD into the drive.

The app then creates a folder on the HD, copies the Windows Xp files etc.

It also copies all the possible updates that MS has sent out. (the user will need to have AP application if they'd like the updates to be installed directly when installing Windows XP)

Once completed, it will state how the total size of everything and tell you how many cd-r(s) you'll need, and then you can burn your New Windows XP Unattended CD with all the available updates from the version of AP that the user has).

Maybe in the new version or something, you can install a free cd burning app or something to assist with that creative task. Who knows?

Now don't I have a wild imagination? :D

Hey,

Me again. I forgot one more thing for the December update.

An option to have the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) enabled on all Network Connectiong... I saw this on Windows Update, and maybe an option to disable file/printer sharing.

Hey, I think everyone overlooked bandwidth. He'll need distributers and mirrors.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
