Another Desktopx 4 beta has been released. The standard and the professional version have both gotten the same updates This build focuses the feedback that has been recieved after the initial release last week.Post anything that looks odd. Make sure to give us system information like your OS (including 32 or 64 bit), and if it's hard to explain (or even if it isn't) a screenshot.
Oh.
I believe the 2 are connected
Is there anymore any people working at Stardock ? perhaps they're not paid and leave ...
Hmmm... Once again - the bad news. Seems this explains the last events around DX... Besides I'm thinking that we lost the last chance to see the finished DX 4.X.
Do you know what happened with Zu?
Anyway this place will be empty without him...
What?! When?! Damn that sucks...
Is it official that Zubaz has left Stardock? It sure looks like DX4 was released prematurely, and nobody from Stardock is informing us as to the state of DesktopX. It doesn't look like anybody cares, and that's sad.
Hey everyone.
Yes . . I have left Stardock. Don't worry, they and I are still cool, things just didn;'t work out like both they and I wanted.
When I left last month DX was still getting attention. The goal was to strip it down to bare bones and build it back up into something more useful than it was. With Brad now focused on the app side of the house instaed of teh game side I'd expect great things.
The lead dev of DX flew to the US in September and Brad, he, and I were all very excited to see DX back in it's glory. Give it some time.
And . . while I'm not a Stardockian right now ,I'm still around both SD and WC. It takes more than not paying me to make me go away.
And it appears that you've had time for typing/spelling improvement!!! Yay!!
Good to see ya Zu, I love pickin at ya!
After a re-read, I take it back. You must've edited the mistakes in?
Hi Zu,
I understand you. Each person is the owner of his and you are absolutely right!
The lead dev of DX flew to the US in September and Brad, he, and I were all very excited to see DX back in it's glory.
Great news. But who is the lead developer of DX now? Whether he will manage to cope with a problem and return DX its glory? I'm not sure because too much time has been lost in vain...
How much? Until the world financial crisis will be finished? Or when my eyes will be too weak to see it on my computer?
edit.
Well, I'm glad you're still around, Zu. That's some good news anyway.
Once I got DesktopX 4.0 installed, and used shexview to remove DesktopX from my context menu, all is well with my DX!! There seems to be a problem with DX being in the context menu? I remove it, all is fine.....hmmmm.....
Chicken or the egg problem. Personally - I stopped working with DX because the development environment was just too awkward and there was - is - all these show stopping bugs. How are you suppose to produce work with a bugged tools?
very interesting to hear the lead dev was shipped into the HQ. Was that Alberto Ricco?
So, is this DX4 version - just some premature alpha? That they are just started reworking it?
just installed DesktopX4 v3.89 BETA 16/12/2009 and so far working OK DL object and widget from Gallery and both worked
Same here. The welcome now loads without the ODZip error. Time for a test drive.
The DX Welcome looks for widgets in the new Public Docs location but still looks for themes and objects in Program Files.Is this normal or is there a setting I am missing? Btw,the Welcome now reads DesktopX Professional,which it isn't.
On further testing I have found that the Configure DX Builder dialog looks for themes and objects in the NEW location.To be able to use it and the Welcome all widgets and desktops would need to be in both Public Documents/Stardock/DesktopX and program files. I don't really need or want two copies of everything in these folders.
I can't get DesktopX Pro to install....I get an error telling me it's not compatible with my system!!!?????
yes its working good stuff stardock.
I don't see an update for Pro. Jim, you sure that's not the same update you rolled back from? What's the version # and update date?
3.89[b].046 And now it shows installed, but I get that same error when I try to run it from Impulse. And when I run it normally, it isn't Pro and I can't export as a Gadget.
Great improvment
Uh, oh... I din't pay attention that much. Now I have both Pro and Standard installed. Hm...
Do you have as well two installation folders (or at least two .exe files) ?
(depending on your answer, perhaps i'll give a try to update to DX4 to see what goes on )
No......
Yeah, the only 3.89[b].046 beta I see is for Standard. I'm not entirely sure why Standard is listed at all, since I don't have that. But at least it works for those who do.
