Closed Issue: Start Menu shortcut naming and placement issues [3823]

MikeSL — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:49:08 GMT

1) the Start Menu shortcut for CacheMyWork is named the same as the source icon that I've been using for this project (wi096-16.ico), rather than "Cache My Work" or similar.
2) the Start Menu shortcut for CacheMyWork is located at the root-level of the Start Menu, rather than placed its own subfolder named "Cache My Work" or similar.

Need to examine the Setup project's Start Menu settings for the shortcut - I suspect I just dragged in a reference to the Icon, without trying to pretty up the name or location.

Created Issue: Add ProcessID tracking to EnumeratedProcess object [15125]

ParanoidMike — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 22:18:21 GMT

ProcessID isn't currently being tracked, and while this hasn't been needed information before, it's something that will become much more useful in a future where this tool can run in the background (or be scheduled for periodic runs), and automatically flush the current workload of apps to RunOnce.

I believe that the best way for CacheMyWork to do this is to compare the current state of processes to the previously-gathered cache, and only add the new ones to the Registry. How can you know if an instance of IEXPLORE.EXE is new or old? Compare the PIDs.

Closed Issue: UI doesn't expand to show all rows and button [15103]

ParanoidMike — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 18:45:01 GMT

When I run the code on my well-populated system, the checklist is around 15-17 items long. This expands beyond the size of the default window, and the default window doesn't auto-size. Make window auto-size to show all rows and button.

Closed Feature: Active Applications checkedlistbox should automatically grow so that it displays all apps without creating a scrollbar [5783]

MikeSL — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 19:00:38 GMT

Currently, when more than six applications are "active", and the Tools, Hide Applications dialog is thrown, the left-hand CheckedListBox will have a scrollbar.

There is plenty enough space in the Form for a longer CheckedListBox, and it should be possible to grow both it, the currently-hidden docs CheckedListBox, and scroll the Save button to below the grown CheckedListBox(es).

Created Issue: 'default on' all my apps [15022]

ParanoidMike — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 18:57:34 GMT

I'm probably exposing myself as a total hack, but I tend to have a mercurial pool of apps open at any given time, and virtually never shut down voluntarily - so I want "Cache" to
always be there as a pain-reliever to get me as close to where I was before whatever hiccup interrupted me. Really, this seems like a no-brainer to me. Wouldn't
most users want the default setting to be "all boxes checked?," that is, to recover things to as close as possible to where it was when the power failed or whatever? Sure, on those occasions when I am planning a shutdown, I could check those
boxes all by hand - assuming I remember that the utility is there - but wouldn't it be a lot less painful for a user to close apps he doesn't want open, once the system reboots?

That being said, I can't believe something like this didn't come standard with the first release of Windows.

Commented Issue: Displayed Apps show no text [14875]

ParanoidMike — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 06:43:11 GMT

In changeset 65219 (today), it looks like I've got the basics of the Binding (finally) implemented correctly - the code compiles and runs without throwing any exceptions, and (since I've hard-coded it for the moment to only display two apps - Outlook and IE) it seems to create two entries in the ListBox. However, the entries are completely devoid of any text - they respond to a click (by highighting the row), and there are only two rows that respond that way, but the rows are completely white (no text).

I don't believe this has anything to do with the type of object to which I'm binding the List<> data - I tried substituting a ComboBox for the ListBox, and the same behaviour occurred (two rows, but no text in the rows).

I'm going to try reverting back to the Collection instead of the List<> and see if that affects anything. I don't know enough about what to expect from a List<> to know how it should behave here.

However, as soon as I comment out AppsList.ItemsSource = cacheableProcesses from the code-behind, the ListBox becomes empty (no listings, not even blank-but-clickable ones).

Commented Issue: Displayed Apps show no text [14875]

ParanoidMike — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 06:41:14 GMT

When I remove the DisplayMemberPath parameter from the ListBox element, CacheMyWork displays two instances of the following text in the ListBox: ParanoidMike.CacheMyWork.EnumeratedProcess - since that describes the elements in the List<> definition, I'd say we're getting warmer. Whether I add Path=processDescriptiveName to the inner {Binding} or not doesn't seem to make a difference. I even tried Path=EnumeratedProcess.processDescriptiveName on a lark, but still no further. In fact, I can remove the ItemsSource parameter from ListBox as well, and still the same result.
