[Feedreader-development] It's toolbarsettings.bin!

[Nicole S. <ni...@gn...>]

Hi everybody :o)
With 50 new feeds to be added I was getting grumpy on this not working "add
feed" thing. I tracked it down: If I delete my toolbarsettings.bin, several
errors disappear!


616 still ignored programm property setting "Open maximized". Flickers and
then minimizes in a little bar at the top of taskbar. Doubleclick on title
bar leads to resized status, again dblclick finally maximizes.

'add new feed' ist broken. If I reopen my feeds with 610, there is no
problem adding feeds. I erased all files (except Toolbarsettings.bin /
Feedreader.ini) to check whether a maximum was reached but even with no
feeds in it there is no difference.

erased toolbarsettings.bin:
FR starts resized modus, then maximizes automaticly as it should do.
Add Feed works again.

btw I just changed the toolbar once - at the start to get the buttons I
want. I would asume that all this updates on graphical things infects
somehow the toolbar.

Toomas / Karsten, anyone likes my file? ;o)
Nicole

So all errors are gone or are there still some?

I would not say that all errors are gone ;o)

hm. I have started the new version for 2-3 times. All was good.

Now on your mail to check, I opened again and look what - 
some are back. :o( 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* instead of maximazing on opening, it is this little titlebar in the left
corner again.

I would suspekt - from my basic understanding of how feedreader might be
programmed - this:
- fr checks after opening the setting 'start minimized on startup'
- this is not checked in my settings
- he then *does* a minimize, not to systray but this looks 
  like a minimize,  although he should just leave the window state alone

Not that annoying but perhaps it helps:
If I minimize it to systray and it reopens, it does not just maximized, it
does first to 'resized' and then to maximized. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* the 'double row toolbar' is back again
  I did a change on my toolbar setting to adapt it to my wishes.
  
  - tested "add a feed" to see if this is still working: yes
  - added one feed 
  - clicked it on treeview
  - double toolbar disapears without me doing something

Whatever you do when I click a treeview, it obviously resets something
for the toolbar to make it right.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* roll up / down when marking all read

There ist a quick flashing (press button - white - headlines back again
mark as read) but the 'roll up and down' thing is not there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rest seems okay BUT: I had this problem with double toolbar for some time
and then suddenly the "add feed" did not work anymore.

I do know have a new toolbar.bin and it might reoccur again.
I would start adding some of my new feeds to see if I get a problem again -
is any new version on start or should I start with 616? :o)

So you doesn't have checked "start minimized", but when you closed 
feedreader, it was minimized? And when you restart FR, the window is 
minimized in the left corner just over the "Start" button?

Everytime you show the window again or just the first time you maximize 
the window after a complete restart of FR?

I love this magical things. I can't think of something which touches the 
toolbar when you click in the treeview.

I think this is just because of the amount of headlines you have stored 
in this feed.

ack.

but 'minimize to systray' is checked.

Closed FR from fullscreen:
Next time starting FR results in max mode. to be correct: 'seems to open in
resized mode but then by itself maximizes without me doing siomething.
(but you can see this step inbetween)

closed FR from systray icon
minimized in the left corner just over the "Start" button.

So FR does the minimizing by itself but on start it should only do two
things: 

1. if "minimized to systray" is set: do it.

2. resize to last position known but respect the setting off the icon. even
the idiotic ie can be forced to open in fullscreen if this is set.

everytime. 
if i close in fullscreen mode an start it again and everytime i doubleclick
on the systray icon and I do maximize from the systray icon

FR does the double-step-maximize. (this is different from the one with the
maximize-over-startbutton: there *I* have to doubleclick. )

see. the joy of programming. :o)

must be a sidething we don't get the connection yet.
i don't know if you remember the thing with compaq computers. sometime, if
you do anything, you get the message 'can't save to disk a:' which had
nothing to do with what you did. solution: exclude a part of the memory
from 640k-1024k because. if you didn't the somehow from the computer
expected to be reserved memory for discaccess did this strange thing.

>No new version today, maybe tomorrow.
