ooh

^ what does that mean?

[+theblazingangel MVC]

lookin good :D

Could you get autopatcher itself to assign the .amp file extension a name and the large orange icon.

(but not associate with the module installer)

And could you make a second icon for .amc's and associate them with the module editor.

(a while ago i somehow got an icon which was a blank white page with a small version of the orange icon in the middle, but ive lost it)

Then both will have a nice icon and it would be possible to distinguish between them (especially needed when extensions are hidden).

(currently i have the large orange icon for both).

1. I could, but it's not a good practice to do so without the user being aware of it.

2. Sure. The icon you 'got' is what Windows makes on its own when you associate a file type with a program. It just uses a blank file icon and then puts the program's icon (in a smaller form) on top. I will do a xp-style icon when I get some time.

spelling mistake in priority hover text - 'degit' instead of 'digit' !

also, i just tried editing the text in the registry key box for a module, i put the cursor in the correct place, deleted one letter and it jumped the cursor to the end !!

very annoying!

[+theblazingangel MVC]

^ Good find. This is fixed in AutoPatcher 2003, so I'll clear your post so no one will take advantage of this :p

Fixed AutoPatcher.exe:

AutoPatcher.zip

[+theblazingangel MVC]

good, ill try the new version after ive finished what im doing :)

[akaladis Veteran]

OK. The problem as you see is not the Module Editor, but AutoPatcher itself.

By the way: I'm currently uploading the first Test version of AutoPatcher for Windows 2003 (145MB)... If everything goes well, we got yet another release! :)

Great program, Raptor. It's near sheer perfection. Just a tiny flaw. Almost not worth to mention. The supported flags on the installation tab cannot be entered in the destinated box by double clicking.

[+theblazingangel MVC]

pasting is disabled under the behavior, detection and installation tabs

im guessing you did it deliberately, but it restricts you from copying and pasting from other modules, which may cause mistakes, and im not sure whether id prefer it enabled or not.

That's done on purpose. There's really no point in adding it alone, since they mean nothing on their own. If you still want this features however, I'm willing to do it.

BlazingAngel: I will try to enable it :)

[+theblazingangel MVC]

the new version fixed the security bug btw

ive finished the tweaks and emailed them to you, hope you got them

ive also posted a reg undo list until the tool is finished

sorry to go off topic :)

[akaladis Veteran]

New build.

Eecom and BlazingAngel: Your suggestions/reports were taken care of.

You're absolutely right, of course. I just thought I would be more user friendly and it will eliminate typing errors. We should bear in mind that this tool is being used by people who have a little bit more in depth knowledge about autopatching. Did I create a new verb, just now? So, if you would implement this small feature, you would make me a happy man.

[akaladis Veteran]

erm... look at my post, just above yours :) I did implement the feature you asked :)

[+theblazingangel MVC]

copying doesnt work in the behavior and operating system tabs.

and could you think about adding ctrl+a to highlight everything in a box for easier copying and replacing.

:)

[Eecom]

Sorry, I thought you referred to my suggestions earlier on. I am sorry to report you that the feature still doesn?t work in the Installation tab.

Really? It works here alrigh:s:s Did you try clicking in a box (either one) before doing the double-click on the Flag Helper?

Edit: New build... try this....

:blush: Stupid me. It works. I clicked on 'Supported flags' next to one of the boxes and with the mouse went straight to one of the flags, like I used to do on the other tabs. In that case double clicking doesn't work. Perhaps you also should make it possible to select the appropriate box by clicking on 'Supported flags'. That would imho be more intuitive and equal to the behaviour on the other tabs.

[+theblazingangel MVC]

great, copying & pasting works fine :D
