@Rohule - Interesting avast is throwing its toys out the pram, since i did the media player.

Perhaps it's because the app calls a reference to the windows media player dll in the systems32 folder and avast sees this as some kind of attack. I couldn't include the media player in the install as it told me there was a conflict of resources.

I don't know what to suggest other than disabling avast to do the 1.3 install, but that's never good advice. If others report the same problem, i might remove the media player option.

@Incrediblle - I could add an empty text box to allow you to add your own site. I've put it on my feature request list, thanks for the suggestion.

FF, 2 bugs I've noticed:

1) This pic is of your Windows taskbar tab. It does not work to minimize your news screen when clicked. So far, it seems the only way to minimize is by clicking the arrow icon from your upper tool bar area.

2) The Candle Close alarm defaults to your preset sound file. I have uploaded my own custom wav. file for the general alarm, and I would have thought that every possible alarm would have changed over as well. It only makes sense that the noise I want to hear at any given time is the one that I have gone out of my way to select and load.

* UPDATE *

 

  1. Enter your own website link on the FX News Sites page
  2. Can now minimize app from the taskbar icon
  3. Candle alarm plays same sound as main alarm setting

FF, I'm impressed with your committment to this project.

I tried setting up a custom web link. I was trying to load cnn.com as a test, but no deal. All it would do is send me to Bing. And in Bing it would only let me search for "choose your own", which is what you have written inside the search box. So it only sends me to Bing, and once there Bing only sees those original words no matter what I input.

I'm just fixing your user testing, so thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

Once it's gone to beta then i can go back to feeding the sharks in metatrader once they come back from their Cayman holidays.

Regarding bug, it only remembers and actions your entry when you press [enter] or the radio button next to the text box. I also got bing site when i first implemented the text box and thought it interesting as there's no input to take you there, so the forms browser must have bing set as default deep with its belly.

Let me uninstall and try to replicate as i may have buggered up the installs in my haste.

Edit: I can replicate the error when i type in "Chose your own..." and it brings up Bing. In fact, if you type in "choose" the web page fails, but if you type "chose your" then that is the magic sentence to open the bing portal; I find that interesting as the textbox parses the text verbatum as a url to a LoadWebPage(url) function and for some reason, it defaults to Bing?!

Anyway, if you type in cnn.com and press [enter], it should work.

Nope. Here's what I'm seeing, even after hitting the Send/Refresh button several times:

I've uploaded a minor revision 1.4.1.

This version forces the settings to save whenever the text is changed in the 'choose your own..' box.

So type in cnn.com then either press [enter] on your keyboard or press the blue [refresh] button, both serve the same purpose now, before they didn't.

I did a 1.4.1 release today, so it will prompt for an upgrade if your version is older.

Someone else mentioned virus', they were using avast and it started when i included the window media player reference in the System32 folder.

Would you consider the install by temporarily disabling your AV, to test the app?

Before you do the install, can you replicate the virus message and send me a log file created by avast, i'd like to know what's causing this, but don't fancy installing avast to replicate the error.

I deleted my AV a long time ago as they were more of a virus slowing my machine than any virus i may have picked up. I'm just careful not to open attachments in my email called 'debbie does dallas'.

Thanks for the help.

Whats wrong with Debbie? I know her personally. She keeps herself well tuned, and get greased, oiled, and filtered at regular intervals.

why i can not download this application ?
only this message : C :\Documents and Settings\Dear-User\Desktop\FXNewsAlert_a1.4.1.exe could not be saved, because an unknown error occurred.

Try saving to a different location.

For some reason the new version 1.4.1, initiates a "malware detected" alarm on my antivirus software and won't let me download it.

Don't understand why that would happen?

You're only saving a file, not running it...is that correct?

Did you try a different location? Not that it matters - i dump exe's on my desktop, run the install then delete the exe when it's done, but if you can't even save the file, then that suggests a system error on your end.

Edit: It could be a firefox issue as they were the first links when i typed in your error message. You could try these methods.
