Thanks q3q6b

Thanks for your work on this Kenny. I updated your launcher.ini to handle some additional registry keys.

Awesome. 3t1ec

I wanted to see if I could get language switching working before this got out, but cool.

According to the FAQ, it gets the language of the OS. Any ideas how to get that working?

Blank o2a2l

I'd wager it stores it as blank and then auto-selects each time., You can also manually set it in settings, at which point it'll just stay set to that. It's stored in the registry (.reg file)

Ah. 18x2r

Interesting. Don't know how I missed that. I'll likely have an update tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks q3q6b

I think this may be useful for me, but where did the "77MB Installed" come from ?

Sometimes making love is just not enough, you have to step it up!

We're required to use a program like this at work. Everyone just turns it off once it runs at startup though. Even the IT guy who sets up new employees tells them they can turn it off.

I wrote a batch file to run at startup to wait for it to start and kill the process. Hooray for laziness.

Signature automatically removed for being too awesome.

I'm reporting you to HR!

Errr, thanks for this program. It's actually a very novel but excellent idea. I know that I spend way too much time in front of the computer (and that's without counting work!) Biggrin

Thanks Dev Team.

Revision 2 j232h

Kenny pushed me a small revision to enable path portability and language switching. I made some minor updates to better handle the .reg file and keep it categorized as a Utility.

Your updates break the [LanguageFile] section due to the double quotes.

(So when the PA.c menu is not used, the language will always be forced back to English.)

Should Have 2y2845

I should have gone with my first instinct and had you do a pre-release and then made my changes and publicly tested that, too. Revs the same day are always a bad idea. Your original Rev2 changes had the same issue (at least on my Win7 box) and my fix was an attempt to fix that.

So, want me to do rev 3 as a pre-release first? I've tested what I had myself, there was a method to my madness (that and I tried it your way before and Chris told me to do it this way >.>), but we can do that if you want.

Same Issue 523ra

Your original copy resets to English every time on my machine as well. My fixes were an attempt to fix that issue. I failed as well. ConfigRead + .reg file usually ends in pain. This might be easier if you pop on IRC

Are you sure? I just tested it again and it works for me the way it should.

Positive 5s1z61

ed a fresh copy from your server, installed, ran, switched to French, closed, restarted, came up in English. Every time. Could be because I'm on Win7. Like I said, ConfigRead + .reg file = pain.

I'm gonna dump lang switching and push it out as Rev 3 and not touch it again until there's a bigger update.

Revision 3 ne1s

The proper update has been made in revision 3. If you don't need language switching, you're find with the original release. Revision 2 had a bug that cause it to be stuck on English without the platform. Revision 3 works as designed. We apologize for any inconvenience.
