Post here if you've found a bug in Start++!

Edit:  It's probably easier if you make a new thread, with a good description of your issue in the title!

Ok - I found that start++ worked after I logged out, and back in again, which doesn't make any sense.

 

The pic function needs some tweaking;

 Images are not shown at their native aspect (unless they happen to be square) also images are not displayed correctly if they are corrupt, particularly if images have been continued.

 
Mostly this is due to downloading a small image, and then downloading a larger image into the same place, and writing the end of the large file to the smaller one, Windows decompresses the whole file, more sophisticated viewers only decompress the smaller image. I can send examples if need be.

 
 

"Check for updates" do not appear to work through a proxy server that requires Authentication.  It complains that Authentication is required for the proxy server. 

This is a corporate proxy server running IIS and set to authenticate to the domain account.

 

Configuration screen.  "Substition Key"should be "Substitution Key"

Yikes, how did I miss that :)  At least I got it right on the Search Startlets tab!  Definitely fixed in the next version.

Hi, I have a little problem. I dont think Start++ is working ok in my computer. There is no replacement for the original search results "tab" (or window, or whatever that is in the Start menu ). Im wondering if is a problem that my system is in a non-english language.

 For example, the "pic" command does not show me anything mor than te original results, result of a query in the search bar.

 Thanks, awesom pice of software indeed !!!!!!

This is really minor. Just a spelling error.

When you click "Substitution key" in the configuration window, the 4th item in the list says:

  %+ - All parameters, seperated by +'s

should be

  %+ - All parameters, separated by +'s

Hi, I have the same problem.

Hi jsamuel,

Could you try out 0.4.6 and tell me if this problem is fixed for you?  It should now be using the default Windows / IE proxy settings, though I couldn't reproduce this problem even behind a proxy server, so I can't be sure if it's fixed.

Thanks

Hi Brandon,

Not a biggie but on upgrade on X64 Vista the install folder is kept as Program Files(x86) although it is now native x64.  I'm not sure what an fresh install does, although I can try if you wish.

Yeah I noticed that, and I think it's because the installer is still 32-bit (one of the oddities about .NET, since the app itself will be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the version of the CLR it gets loaded into).  I might look into fixing that but it's a pretty minor thing I think =)

No worries, and thanks for the explanation.

I wouldn't bother with a fix until perhaps a full 1.0 release.

Brandon,

I am having the same issue trying to run or find the update from inside a corporate environment. I tried it first with 0.4.5 to see if it will find 0.4.6 update and got the same message. That proxy authentication required. But there is no place in configuration tabs to provide proxy server name and port settings. Hope this is available in a future release. Great tool and I will recommend this to any Vista user I come across at work. Thanks.

Hi Manish, have you tried installing 0.4.6 and then checking for updates?  It should use the same proxy configuration as IE.
