RC 398

[ace2701]

Seems to be working right. What were the changes?

error: regular pictures are not working right.

A user can add any picture to YoWindow, to display it instead of the landscape.
In the release build this feature is broken.

Besides a Bulgarian translation was added.

Ah, I see. Thank you, and I'm waiting for the animals.

PROBLEM
Hi Pasha, after update to RC 398 I got this view:

rc 398.jpg (284.18 KiB) Viewed 8612 times

No time bar, no weather :? I can only change the landscape ...
What could be happened?

Hi Pasha and Werner,

My Windows XP are working as they should.

No problems here with this RC - works as desired!

Werner, it seems to me you have pressed Tab key occasionally, it hides all User Interface (UI).
Try pressing Tab again to show it back.

Hi Pasha,
I'm using allways the tab key to make the screenshots for my landscapes. But in this case nothing happens by pressing this key. Also after restarting Win 7 the same situation. So I reinstalled Yowin (before I saved the landscapes file of course )
The new installation works stable now. But there was a new "problem": after add in the saved landscapes file in the same directory, I was hopefull to get the landscapes back ... unfortunately no landscape was shown in Yowindow
So I had to add more then 200 landscapes manually ...

Do you know a way to solve this problem in the future when it is necessary to reinstall Yowindow?

Ah... I wish you let me know before you had uninstalled YoWindow.
Next time you notice this problem with missing UI, please send me options.xml, it will help me to find out what went wrong.

I'm very sorry you had to add all your landscapes back to YoWindow.
YoWindow keeps track of the landscapes in options.xml file
On Windows 7 it is in this folder
C:\Users\par\AppData\Roaming\YoWindow

Before uninstalling YoWindow copy landscapes tag and its contents
After the installation paste it back to options.xml
Example:

<landscapes>
<landscape name="Village" type="plugin" id="com.yowindow.village">
</landscape>
<landscape src="C:\ProgramData\YoWindow/landscapes/live_sky_example/pyramids.ywl" name="Landscape made from picture" type="picture" id="com.yowindow.pyramids">
</landscape>
<landscape name="desert" type="picture" id="12BA69593D7">
<data src="c:/users/public/pictures/sample pictures/desert.jpg">
</data>
</landscape>
</landscapes>
