daty2k1, i have some more info for you on why the jumplist don't work properly.. a sec ago i started the app up.. it was still logging me in.. i right clicked on it, the jumplist worked fine! but then when it finalized the login, it disappeared!

maybe you can do something with this info ;) also did you get my PM?

also for the google apps support, what you might be able to do, is get the domain of the apps (i.e. @neowin.net) and like, if its not @gmail.com or @googlemail.com, you redirect them to mail.websitename.ext, i.e. if the user is [email protected], you redirect them to mail.zeryl.net rather than the usual google.com/mail ..

Same problem for me as for some other people. Running Win7 RC 64bit.

I start it up and get no jumplists at all.

I have tried running as Administrator - still no jumplists.

Oddly enough...I ran it in WindowsXP SP3 Compatibility mode...and I get a jumplist - and everything in the jumplist works properly.

Hope that helps to fix it.

Quoting myself so the information doesn't get buried...saw no response so I didn't know if it was read. I'm still running it in WinXP SP3 compatibility mode and its working fine.

Hmmm it's really strange :( I also got some more info from a friend of mine. He was able to give me the detail of the exception and it said something like "Access denied". Also, he said that he was sometimes getting the jump list depending on which folder the exe was :blink: I wish I could reproduce it so I can see what's happening in the debugger.

Also, I now have a Google Apps account so it should definitely be in the next version :)

Well if it helps, I simply extracted the zip...and removed the version number from the folder name.

C:\Program Files(x86)\GmailNotifierPlus\*.exe

Thats the path I put it in. Again - I'm not getting any errors at all. When I launch it it shows up in the proper place, and when I hover the icon I get the thumbnail mail view. But I get no jumplists at all until I run it in WinXp compat mode.

cool app. i love it. the jumplist does work when i don't have any new emails, but when ever i get an email the jumplist disappears. I've ran it as administrator and compatibility mode in XP (SP1, SP2, SP3), vista (SP1, SP2) but still nothing. even when i read the new email (i have been sending myself test emails) the jumplist doesn't come back. a little annoying and keeping me from using this full time.

oh and to the people who don't like the icon can always change it, i did.

Looks sweet! One problem, I use hosted gmail and gmail notifier won't access those. If you could make it have the ability add that, i'd be greatly appreciative.

just email me if you need info on the hosted gmail accounts, ill see what i can do.

Don't worry, it will be in the next version ;)

ok i did get the jumplist back when i have new emails. i ran it as administrator for all users (right click->properties->compatibility->'change setting for all users'->'run this program as an administrator'), but it dosn't show the unread emails in the jumplist like daty2k1 has

It can't handle too many emails.

Wow, sorry I didn't think people would have so many unread mails in their boxes :blink: I don't think I will create overlay icons up to 999 but I can do something about the text being cut off.

Next version should be coming tonight or tomorrow hopefully.

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
