Created Issue: Feature Request: Batch Import [18958]

P_Tsm — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 18:55:44 GMT

It would be very welcome to have a similar function like Batch Export but for importing.
You could make resourcer only import the changed files.
Maybe checking could be done via a log file which contains info on when the file which is to be imported was accessed the last time. Or by checking the filesize or maybe even Hash comparision. Don't know if that would be too slow.

Hope you can add that.

Closed Feature: Damage mitigation [13247]

W3bbo — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:22:45 GMT

Add a grave warning to the front page of the installation wizard to prompt the user to deactivate their anti-virus software.

Also an unrelated issue: xpize 5's patching of urlmon.dll may be causing problems in Team Fortress 2 and XFire.
Comments:

Turned out to be a non-issue and the installation slowness because on x64 it patches both 64-bit and 32-bit files, thus taking twice as long.

Created Issue: Version resource not handled properly [15965]

When reading a .res file containing a version resource, the resource doesn't appear at all.

Commented Feature: MSStyles editing at the level of Ave's Vista Style builder (a little side thing; improvement/ feature suggestion) [12871]

BlackDogSpark — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:17:08 GMT

Heya guys!! I just ran into this: http://vistastylebuilder.com/index.html

This isn't really shell patcher, but could be a possible extension to the Resourcer: more possibilities and features for MSStyles editing.

---------------

Here is the link for screenshots: http://vistastylebuilder.com/screenshots.html and here's the posted feature set:
Features

* Create, Modify and Save Custom MsStyle files for Vista
* No more .mui files needed
* AutoFix Alpha Channels with PNGs
* Control all theme properties
* Make changes to the STREAM images like normal image edits
* Test your Visual Style with one Click

Requirements and others

* VistaStyleBuilder will only run on Windows Vista
* MsStyles created with Vista Style Builder can only run on a Vista pc with theming enabled and with a so-called patched UxTheme file.
* Editing the ShellFile is not supported at the moment, this might come in a future release.
* Once you buy it, future updates will be free!

Before Purchasing (License Agreement)

* Keys are only valid for ONE person: when a key is being shared between people or is available online, the key will be revoked and will no longer be valid to run future updates of VistaStyleBuilder. The payment made for the key will NOT be refunded.
* Any possible damages that might occur from running VistaStyleBuilder, including loss of work due to crashes, cannot be claimed on the author. In other words: you run this software completely on own risk.
* There is no support given on creating skins in VistaStyleBuilder. Of course, bug-reports are always tried to be solved. Problems or "How do I do"-questions regarding Visual Styles are not answered.

------------

I realize that Ave's Style Builder is not open source, but this does look like a really interesting program that we can add its features onto and extend Resourcer.

Of course, this should be an undertaking once the main Resourcer program and Shell Patcher is finished ;) ..
Comments: ** Comment from web user: BlackDogSpark **

This would be nice. I would actually start programming this kind off app for windwos 7. but the first thing that stops me is the fact that I dont know how to use specific theme. I did find several examples for xp.

Created Issue: Issue when replacing bitmaps in explorer.exe (Win7 rtm x64) [14151]

ezio — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:53:21 GMT

When using c:\windows\explorer.exe (Win7 rtm x64) with replaced bitmaps (6801-6805-6809) by Anolis 0.9, a black screen appears logging into Windows. Using explorer.exe modded with same bitmaps, but with Restorator2007, no problems occour.

Closed Issue: ResourceListView - Threading issues again

W3bbo — Sun, 03 May 2009 02:22:24 GMT

I redid ResourceListView's population methods to make things consistent, simpler, and faster (by not re-adding ImageList items for resource types when they're identical, for example), however I appear to have screwed up the threading. If you try to open a new resource source after another it freezes: __bg.IsBusy returns true, even when the method has ended.
Comments: Fixed. I needed to add Application.DoEvents() so it pumps the messages that tell it it was cancelled successfully. Silly me.

Closed Issue: x64 Control may not support transparent background colors

W3bbo — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:39:07 GMT

IWizardForm wiz = WizardFactory.Create() causes this ArgumentException in Anolis.GUI.Program

I am not sure if this is related to compiling on Visual Studio 2008 x64. Here's a possible resolution, maybe you can find a way to insert it in the base form class for W3b.Wizards

1) in class constructor: SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true);

2) a BackColor override:

public override Color BackColor
{
get
{
return base.BackColor;
}
set
{
if (base.BackColor != value)
{
base.BackColor = value;
TransparentMode = (base.BackColor == Color.Transparent);
this.InvalidateEx();
}
}
}

3) a OnPaintBackground override:

protected override void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs pevent)
{
if (TransparentMode)
{
base.OnPaintBackground(pevent);
return;
}
PaintGradientBackground(pevent.Graphics);
}

There's also the WS_EX_TRANSPARENT style for doing something similar but I doubt it would work in this case
Comments: This is now closed. I've fixed the initial problem and am working on implementing the Back button in Aero Wizard forms.

Closed Issue: Fix wizard scaling

W3bbo — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 00:47:55 GMT

There are issues relating to scaling on Windows Vista (and later) with font size and DPI settings. I've fixed the font scaling by changing all the references to AutoScaleMode.Font to AutoScaleMode.Dpi, but it still looks really bad when using a non-default DPI setting. I'll need to get Sven involved.
Comments: I've revamped the W3b.Wizards library and Aero Wizards are now more presentable on Vista. In short, everything looks good.

Closed Issue: RawViewer.RenderResource creates lag with large arrays

W3bbo — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 21:52:47 GMT

if data.Length is large in places like ResourceDataView.ShowViewer(viewer, data), like over 1 MB , the viewer.RenderResource(data) should be threaded instead of being executed on main thread time.

Try testing on NlsLexicons0007.dll, it has single resources larger than 10 MB
Comments: I've made RawViewer use BackgroundWorker if the data is larger than 512KB. It shows a simple "Loading..." message in the centre of the screen.

In future I'd like to change it to some loading animation or something to show the program hasn't frozen.

Closed Issue: Worker thread does not stop if tree selection changes

W3bbo — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 21:31:47 GMT

If you select something that needs more significant CPU time to prepare (like 2000 icons) and then select something else, the worker thread still keeps one core in full load until finished.

You should go for stopping it somewhere in a BeforeSelect event if selected node changed and worker thread is active.
Comments: This was fixed as part of the other issue relating to the BackgroundWorker being busy.

Closed Issue: Add RES/RC Support

W3bbo — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 21:30:42 GMT

RES and RC support exists in several ways:

a) ResourceData needs an abstract .ToRCScript method which subclasses implement to generate RC scripts. Fortunately this isn't too difficult: MSDN has a whole section on them: ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v90.en/tools/tools/resource_definition_statements.htm

b) Resourcer needs to be able to read-in compiled *.res files and show the resources within them. I'm not aware of any APIs for this so I'll have to read them in manually. Fortunately it's a well-documented format.

...and then I can check-off "RES/RC Support" on the Wikipedia article! ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_(Windows) )
Comments: I'll pass on adding RC support for now, I don't think there's much need for it.

Maybe as a "2.0" feature

Closed Issue: Error when navigating Tree View too quickly

W3bbo — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 21:29:58 GMT

Error in Anolis Resourcer 0.8 Beta:

Spoke to W3bbo about it; I was navigating the program's loaded DLL components too quickly in tree view. (aka: I was being too rough with the program; I need to be more gentle with it.... Patience, I guess.)

W3bbo: yeah, you were just going too fast for it
W3bbo: I'll see if there's a way to queue-up the BackgroundWorker rather than interrupting it
W3bbo: in future, just be more gentle with it :p

Closed Feature: Use Finalizers

W3bbo — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:38:24 GMT

Add Finalizers on classes that deal with data that needs disposing rather than just relying on the assumption that Dispose() will always be called appropriately.
Comments: It looks like I just needed to add the finaliser to ResourceData.

Closed Issue: Tree view contents duplicated on save

W3bbo — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:34:54 GMT

In the current source-builds of Resourcer the tree view's contents are duplicated (and the whole UI becomes a bit unstable) when saving the current ResourceSource. I need to polish up the tree view code.
Comments: Fixed. The Resource Tree wasn't being cleared when the source was reloaded. The side effect of this means it's impossible to implement Save As functionality; but I have added in a Backup option which is an acceptable compromise.

Commented Issue: Add RES/RC Support

W3bbo — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:58:13 GMT

I've now added in support for read-only *.res files and they seem to be working smoothly.

Supporting writing to *.res files is different, since they need rebuilding, but doable. I'll leave it for now.

I propose adding a third option c) There's a ResourceSource subclass that reads in *.rc scripts and uses references to files to load the data. But that's a bit tricky since the data hasn't been preprocessed, so resources like Bitmaps and Icon Directories wouldn't work anymore. VS already has a good *.rc editor, I don't see the need in expanding in this area.

Commented Issue: crash when changing size of toolbar icons

W3bbo — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:47:03 GMT

This crash isn't caused by changing the toolbar size, but actually when setting the file association.

I forgot that on Vista you need administrative privileges to do this. I'll fix this in the next release.
