Well,

I guess you can gather from the thread title that I think you should add a progress bar to AutoStreamer so that users have some sort of idea as to what percentage has been completed and maybe even an estimated time left as well. I think this would be a beneficial feature and I feel that it would be well received.

^ kinda like AutoPatcher's loading?

btw: i have created a simple progressbar-based thingy... ill finish it off tomorrow and maybe let you play with it... 1.0.30b2 :D

Exactly, I should have wrote it that way. You know I forgot how that looks and then I looked at the Maximum PC article on AutoPatcher XP (Page 53, October Issue). I am pretty sure you can write that script. :D

Hehehe... I was able to code it once for AutoPatcher... don't think it would be that hard to do it for AutoStreamer... although im still looking at a progressbar-solution... Statusbar would be ugly in AutoStreamer IMO...

just an update: 1.0.30b2 will feature all 3 possible solutions, because i'm outta my damn mind... so you will see a messy screen showing the old progress indicator, a progressbar AND autopatcher's database-load-ish progress indicator. We might end up using 2 (i.e AP-style progress + progressbar)

Tada! 1.0.30b2! I said it would be ready and it is! And quite early!

Things to have in mind

1. AutoStreamer folder should handle special characters now

2. Since i had to change some critical bits of code, check if everything works fine...

3. In the last screen, pick which progress indicators you prefer...

4. ...because it's quite messy there atm (things on top of others)

5. if a subfolder named UPDATES exists in I386 folder AutoStreamer will not continue...

6. ...since Slipstreaming doesnt work on those...

7. This release is BETA... If you're not into this stuff, don't download it! Instead, download this release (1.0.29)

Download (Public BETA)

AutoStreamer 1.0.30b2

Kind regards,

Great,

Basic functionality seems to work (can go through process check list and progress bar both work, haven't checked images though). Anyways all it needs is a little beautifying; the text is cut off a little in the checklist and the progress bars doent exactly blend with the current UI. It would also be cool if the progress bare was ?cooler looking? as it kind of looks out of place in the program as the rest of it is so eye pleasing.

Something like the attached image might be more appropriate if at all possible to blend in with your current UI.

I also relies that this is in BATA stages so I am sure it wont look the same by the time the finial release comes out.

P.S. haven?t checked full functionality yet.... but the progress bare and check list seem to work

that progress bar is in the windows boot screen!! i can't use that! i will however use a XP-style progressbar... however, that will add to the size (well i guess its already small and it wouldnt matter much)... (extra control needs to be included)

Yea, I wasn?t referring to that exact progress bar but the general style. XP-style as you so well put it:D:D

OK people, 1.0.30b3 is now up.

Attention:

This is still a BETA release, which means it can burn your computer, eat your food, kill your pets, steal your girlfriend and even kick you in the head. You have been warned.

Changes:

- Since only one bootloader is needed, the rest have been dumped...

- The old listbox was dumped since...

- ...the new checklist was prefered...

- The progressbar will also be kept...

- ...but with a true XP-style...

- God-mode (no service pack build detection, for those you know what they are doing and want to do things fast...) [use /godmode]

Tried the latest build (1.0.30b3) and it works flawlessly for me. :D I like the new checklist and progress bar over what was there before and I am very glad that my recommendations did not fall on def ears. :happy: I was also surprised about how fast they were implemented. anyways keep up the good work. By the way when will this new version go "GOLD" and exit from BATA status?

Slice :devil:

P.S. one thing I noticed about this build is that the progress bar is not centered in the app (to far to the right). no big deal just wondering why it is that way. Also, the bar still looks kind of win95-2000ish (even though there are blocks now) and I still think it doesn?t due the rest of the UI justice, although this could be due to me using this on a 2k machine. Just thought I?d mention :whistle:tle:

right now i have b4... which has some new stuff:

you can select to manually customize installation. in this case, autostreamer will pause the procedure after the service pack integration and let you do your thing. then you can continue with iso creation.

also, there are some minor fixes :)

as i mentioned, the progressbar isnt a xp-alike one... it a true xp style progressbar, so the new style will only be seen on windows xp :D

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
