Bit Che - 1.0 build 59

[Quantum]

hey chip!
I am not able to search at all in the test build just to let you know

You copied the files in to the normal Bit Che directory?

compile date: Mar 2nd, 2008

-fixed couple small bugs
-search history is saved between sessions  (i will add an option to disable this later, if requested)




i think this is getting close to a stable release.. the last thing to add will be to add support for Vista paths

compile date: Mar 5nd, 2008


-Windows Vista compatible: now stores scripts, language, temp and other program files under "CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA"  (can be disabled using "portable=1")
-added option to set "portable=1" under  "[options]" in the settings.ini  to force Bit Che to use the current directory as the root dir  (mainly for making Bit Che portable safe)
-added new icons (much prettier when ALT-Tab, etc)
-rearranged some menu items locations & added 2 new menu options "Open App Data Folder" and "Clear Search History"
-self-heals the BC:// links if the registry doesn't link to the current running Bit Che.exe


this will be Bit Che 1.0 build 60 RC1!

yey   happy testing.. thanks everyone!

ps, notes about the new storage paths.. this change was made to be compatible with Vista and future versions of Windows. Users will no longer have UAC problems and "Run as Administrator" is no longer required. Bit Che will automatically copy the settings.ini (and essential Bit Che files) to the new storage path. this allows Bit Che to install over old versions and not lose the old settings.ini.

I'm quite liking build 60, one minor quible is that when you go to enter registration, there's no explicit "cancel" box, I realise there's a close box but it's not quite the same.

Anyway, not too fussed, will carry on testing tomorrow morning.

ok i moved it over.. there is a cancel button, but it appears where the "OK" button is once you hit ok..  but for standards, i extended the boxes to fit the Cancel button independently..  thanks for catching that

hey everyone...  im kinda hoping to get a little more feedback about the that last test build.. if you get a chance? can you let me know what you think, and also if everything is working, and what your system is.. just so I can begin to move this build over to a public release if everything seems to working..

thanks

There's not a lot I can see, it's quite good, probably going to be a bit before I find any noteworthy bugs.

As another pieces of polish I would like to to say that under:

"Options > Show / Hide Scripts"

Is a toggle tick, literally speaking your ticking the option "Show / Hide", which doesn't make much sense, it should just be:

"Options > Show Scripts"

Ticking that makes logical sense to show and unticking "Show" makes logical sense that it would hide.

Another thing occurred to me, a language page?

Make a link in the language box which says something like "Other Languages" for those which have been updated or not included since the latest install of Bit Che?

[kemp]

I have to agree that this build is excellent!

Have been using it for the last couple days and I can't find
anything that I'd really change.

Great work Chip

Can  you please add the option to select which browser to open when clicking on 'open page' or any external link from Bit Che? I have 3 browsers and have set FF as default but I use Opera mostly and that is always running in background, I'd like BitChe to use Opera for opening links instead of the default system browser (intentionaly set to FF).

Also, is it possible to make the position of tabs moveable? (like manually moving Ratio after Source, Seeders before Size.. etc.)


Thanks for the software btw (I didn't even know it was being updated, and I have known about BitChe since the first release ).

Ok, on Windows Vista, search results extend down past the bottom slightly, cutting off the text just barely.
