Quote:This doesn't make sense at all. Oh well, I suppose someone will eventually be able to give a reason why.I can't say much more about it either. It just crashes and I had to shut the process down.
Quote:DeskQueen doesn't start up when Windows starts up. Later, the option will be included (as written in the unfinished dialog), but for right now, it doesn't do that (and it does have to be enabled, as it will be disabled by default). So I have no idea what you're on about here.I was worried because the checkbox was already activated, so I thought "he wants to have this program auto-startup when he enables the feature" Sorry, if I misunderstood though.
Quote:Virtually all programs of this type do this, it's a standard feature.Virtually yes, but I don't like my system tray to become twice as big when all programs add an icon to it I never use
Quote:Considering the fact that there will eventually be thousands of pictures per category...well...you get the idea. This probably isn't a good idea to implement, sorry...Well, maybe then something like "Download X new pictures" where X is a number the user enters? Then the user can control himself about how many pictures he wants to download.
Quote:Thanks for the feedback though. Although I have no idea why your firewall would be blocking image downloads, considering DeskQueen uses standard HTTP to obtain images...No problem. About my firewall, it's a very heavy and good firewall that blocks everything unless I add a rule to it which says "DeskQueen.exe has access to ports x and y, inbound and outbound, tcp and udp" or similar If there's no rule for the specific program/port/protocol, then everything is blocked
EDIT: Oh and another note: I don't like this "auto picture on desktop"-thingie. I.e. when I download a picture it immediately puts it on my desktop. Maybe you could just let it download the picture and then ask the user whether he wants it on the desktop or not?
Anyway, I've downloaded all images you have so far, and the best one of the images was my original wallpaper, which I had installed before I had DeskQueen It's a nice picture of Leela Click on this sentence to see my desktop (btw, that black bar on the top is my firewall ).
