GUI Ping Monitor / Discussion / General Discussion: little improvement request

remizik - 2016-02-19

Hi,
thanks for this cool little tool.
could you please add this feature ?
set the keybord focus in this field when the app starts ?

so we can type directly (without clicking) and ping a host by pressing enter ?

edit : another requests would be :
- display the IP address displayed when we ping a computer name
- a "clear all" button to remove all current pings

thanks

Hi,
I have added proposed features (version 0.1.40).
- focus quick ping line edit after application start - you can add ping by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P, too. Then you should enter ping address and press "Enter", and repeat. It was developed in 0.1.39, but not documented yet.
- display IP address when user ping by host name - it is available when your mouse is over host name, then current address will be displayed in tool tip. Tool tip with address will not be displayed if user provide address instead host name. Application version 0.1.39 has also tool tips on labels BS, TO, DL etc. that describes theirs mean.
- add remove all pings button.

Cheers

awesomesauce ! thanks a lot :)
and thanks for the tips !

edit :
do you think it would be possible to display the IP without having to put the mouse on the name ? because there is plenty of space :) something like this ?

edit 2 : oh and also maybe the ability to set the default values for the quick pings (permanently) ? (4000ms TO etc ...)

edit 3 : ok last killer feature, a button to toggle "always on top" ON and OFF :D

this would make the app perfect wink wink

cheers

Hi remizik,

edit : do you think it would be possible to display the IP without having to put the mouse on the name

Done, if your target is ping by address then "IP: " label and address isn't visible.

edit 2 : oh and also maybe the ability to set the default values for the quick pings (permanently) ? >>(4000ms TO etc ...)

Done, all ping settings are configrable in Settings (Ctrl + E). Values are saved and restored on app start (config.ini).

edit 3 : ok last killer feature, a button to toggle "always on top" ON and OFF :D

Done, of course state of "always on top" is saved and restored after app start.
Latest version 0.2.43. If you notice any bugs let me know :)

Cheers!

You're welcome!

Of course, I am ready to next suggestions :) I am also ready to cooperate :) Are you a programmer? Can you help me writing code?

  cool ! I'll come back with more suggestions in a few days after better use of it.
  
  sadly no, I don't know how to program i'm sorry :(
  but I can help with icons and stuff if you want, I'm pretty good with photoshop ;)
  cheers

Okay, good to know :)

I have added new feature (v. 0.3.44) - app is available from system tray (it doesn't apear in taskbar). Show/hide app by double click or right menu oprtion. And I have created new icon (system tray)... pity that I did not know that you are a specialist in graphics.

  cool feature, but I think you should set it as an option that we can manage :) (in the settings ?)
  also, it creates a bug here (windows 7 64b)
  
  and I still have the main taskbar icon
  
  my ideas to improve even more :
  
  a button for the always on top (next to the delete button for exemple), I can make the icon if you want :)
  
  the abilities to set personnal hotkeys ? (like, remove all ping by pressing X)
  
  display the IP even if the host is not responding (if you have the IP in dns cache)
  
  an option to remember the windows size an placement ? it always resets to default size
  
  a button to switch from normal view to a "simple" view, like this
  
  cheers :)

Hi,

I think your ideas are great :) I will begin adding them next week. I am interested in this icon, send it to me when it will be ready :)
Worried me this bug with window in background. I have tested app on Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (all x64) and everything looked properly (app was visible in system tray and didn't apear in taskbar). Could you write steps to reproduce this bug? Thanks!

  Nice !
  What format do you need ? 16x16 bmp files I assume ?
  edit : I PM'd you the icons ;)
  
  Ok I know why you can't have the same bug as me :
  I'm using a mouse app to make gestures, and I have a gesture to reduce a window.
  When I use it on GUI PM, it goes to the taskbar. And then if I clic on it again (on the task bar), GUI PM comes back, along with the other window.
  Hope this helps :)

Hi!

Nice icon :) I prefer .png, 16x16 as you sent. Button is aligned to the right (screenshot attached).
Currently:

a button for the always on top (next to the delete button for exemple), I can make the icon if you >want :)

Done.

an option to remember the windows size an placement ? it always resets to default size

Done.

And I have corrected a bug that you noticed.

I will upload updated version when finish implementing all yours ideas (probably on thursday).

Cheers!

  cool !
  will you also let us choose between reduce to taskbar/systray in the settings ? I kinda like having it on the taskbar :)
  
  also I had another idea : maybe another tab with a "ping range" ?
  something like this ?
  
  "iptools" does that retry once thing : http://labalec.fr/erwan/?p=1027
  
  it looks like this, and it's very convenient to find out which IP address is available on a network
  
  also this thing would be VERY useful (I wonder why I didn't think of it earlier)
  
  I put the icon file in the same dropbox folder as before ;)
  
  thanks !
  cheers ;)

    Hi remizik,
    
    also I had another idea : maybe another tab with a "ping range" ?
    
    You are read my mind :D It was one of the first GUI PM assumptions (I called it ping scanner).
    
    Now you could choose to hide or not GUI PM to system tray in settings. Settings are little reorganized.
    
    Going back to your post:
    
    a button for the always on top (next to the delete button for exemple), I can make the icon if you want :)
    
    Done
    
    the abilities to set personnal hotkeys ? (like, remove all ping by pressing X)
    
    I have to think about it.
    
    display the IP even if the host is not responding (if you have the IP in dns cache)
    
    Hmm, it is not that easy. What should happen if host (by name) has multiple addresses? Which should be displayed?
    
    an option to remember the windows size an placement ? it always resets to default size
    
    Done. You can enable/disable it in settings.
    
    a button to switch from normal view to a "simple" view, like this
    
    Done. You can enable/disable it in Ping->Display mode (Basic or Extended).
    
    I will also add Copy IP feature in next version :)
    
    Could you check whether the error associated with gesture application has been eliminated?
    
    Thanks for ideas and feedback! :)

      double clicking on the systray icon doesn't restore the GUIPM window for me, I have to right clic on it and clic on "show"
      
      also this popup appears EVERY time, not very useful in my opinion ;)
      
      Thanks for ideas and feedback! :)
      > you're welcome. Thank YOU for doing all those modification ! I use your program every day ;)
      
      edit : oh, I noticed the nslookup tab is not working as it should :
      
      another request ;)
      can you resolve the name when we ping an IP address ?
      
      and 2 more :
      adding a % of loss packets next to the AVG stat
      and add a delete button for each ping ? (faster the right clicking)
      
      cheers !

Hi!

Version 0.5.49.

display the IP even if the host is not responding (if you have the IP in dns cache)
Hmm, it is not that easy. What should happen if host (by name) has multiple addresses? Which
should be displayed?
the same the way windows ping does it ? but I have no idea how

Done. It behave like widows cmd ping.

also this popup appears EVERY time, not very useful in my opinion ;)

Done. It appears only once time (first hide).

also this thing would be VERY useful (I wonder why I didn't think of it earlier) [Copy IP]

Done.

I have a suggestion: we can use the tickets to propose new features and report bugs. What do you think? Here we have a little chaos ;)

Could you send me yours mouse gesture application name or link to download it?

  thanks for the 3 done ^^
  
  I was thinking about tickets yesterday while I was writing my suggestions :D because indeed it's a big mess here !
  I will enter the other request there !
  
  the mouse gesture is this one : http://download.tcbmi.com/ZRQDFG4/strokeit/StrokeIt_0.9.7-Home-English.exe
  it's pretty old now but still working on windows 7 :)
  
  cheers
