Where did Autoscroll go???

I think what your problem is that you have the startup icon name exactly the same as what EG would use when it makes one in there. and you happen to possibly be going into the options dialog at some point.. i am taking a stab here.. because that is when EG will check for the startup icon and make adjustments.


which reminds me..... you have to close EG first.. then put the icon.. and don't make the icon name the same as what the default one would be. because when you close EG it writes the config file. and it may look for that icon being there and do things it shouldn't be doing based on that...

the one i grabbed off my desktop is one i created form the actual exe file. so the name of it is "EventGhost.exe - Shortcut" and i am betting that is why mine didn't have a problem.

Did you actually restart computer or just re-run EG? The problem happens at startup

Interesting! Mine is named "Eventghost".

Let me rename to "EventGhost TEST" and restart and see what happens. I hope it's that simple!!

[kgschlosser]

yes i restarted. I have a lot of computers. not just the one i am on now.. and most of them only have a 6-7 second boot time.

[kgschlosser]

personally i dislike the use of startup icons. i use the task manager for a lot of startup type things. you have much better control that way.

You nailed it! The shortcut renaming trick helped perfectly.

Two more things and I think one is a bug as well (2nd one), but I can't reproduce it every single time.

1) I get this every time I launch EG:

Code: Select all

21:54:10   Unable to establish COM dispatch!

Here are my list of plugins, but it happens even I disabled ALL of them!



2) there is definitely something wrong with the system tray icon with latest beta of EG.
This started in beta 6!


Here's the error when trying to close EG:

Code: Select all

21:56:00   Traceback (most recent call last) (0.5.0-beta6):
21:56:00     File "D:\Applications\EventGhost\eg\Classes\TaskBarIcon.py", line 69, in OnCmdExit
21:56:00       if len(eg.mainFrame.openDialogs) == 0:
21:56:00   AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'openDialogs'

EDIT: happened again. Looks like same error

Code: Select all

21:57:24   Traceback (most recent call last) (0.5.0-beta6):
21:57:24     File "D:\Applications\EventGhost\eg\Classes\TaskBarIcon.py", line 69, in OnCmdExit
21:57:24       if len(eg.mainFrame.openDialogs) == 0:
21:57:24   AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'openDialogs'

Happens when I try to close Eventghost using tray:

This is an error message that is generated from CLI arguments.

have you tried running EG without any command line options?.. try that and see if the error is still there. that will give me a direction to look in.

[kgschlosser]

ok here is the file for the fixed taskbar icon

just replace the file in you eg.Classes folder


***edit*** there was an error in the last one i posted.. this has been updated to work properly now.

Just ran it directly from the app with no shortcuts and it still shows up. It doesn't do any harm (AFAIK) but it is a new error I didn't see before.

if you used the last file i posted for the tray icon it had a glitch. i ahve fixed it and swapped out the file to one that works properly

[kgschlosser]

and I like to try and be as efficient as possible. if you read my forum signature. one of the things you can never get back is time.. so if it makes it faster for you to use the tray icon to exit EG then i just gave you a HUGE gift by fixing it right away.. because the time you spend closing it the normal way is time you have lost forever. and now it can be spent doing something else.. now I know it's a small amount.. but it is still one of the best gifts someone can give someone else.

I am however off to bed now. I am really interested in what is causing that com error. i find it extremely odd. maybe we can investigate it further sometime tomorrow

Confirmed. Looks like it's fixed. Thank you!

I work nights the next 3 days. Let me try installing Eventghost in a sandbox and running it as OEM and see if it happens
EDIT: Confirmed still happens. Beta 6 install (OEM using example tree) and v1722 here (http://www.eventghost.org/downloads/). Funny thing - it shows up twice in v1722. lol!
