Testers/Feedback on iReflector Gadget

Published on August 3, 2007 By SirSmiley In DesktopX

Okay. This was just rejected from upload. So, I'm wondering if some people would be more than kind to test this out. Everyone over at Aqua-soft & elsewhere seem to have it working. Excluding a few initial hiccups.

Here's what the issues are:

Skins not changing within right click menu
the other issue is with registering the com object

The reason this has been left manually from the right click menu is for users who already have ImageMagick installed with the existing com object. It unregisters that version when you install this version & may cause problems with the command line tools, etc.

Oh, for developers here is the sub I use to register/unregister the com object when selected in the right click menu.

Code: vbscript
'--Adds Install/Uninstall Option to Right Click Menu
Sub comInstall
Set objShell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
comPath=DesktopX.ExecutableDirectory&"ImageMagick\ImageMagickObject.dll"
regsvrPath=DesktopX.ExecutableDirectory&"ImageMagick\regsvr32.exe"
r = msgbox("Click YES to register." & vbcrlf & "Click NO to Unregister.", 35, "Register or Unregister?")
     If r = 2 Then
        Exit Sub
     ElseIf r = 6 Then
   '--------  this is the only line you need to register: Regsvr path [space] /S [space] DLL path   ------------
      '-- silent method:  sh.Run(sys & "\regsvr32.exe /S " & arg)
		strCommand="cmd.exe /C "&regsvrPath&" " & comPath
		iReturn = objShell.Run(strCommand, 0, True)
     Else
       '--silent method:   sh.Run(sys & "\regsvr32.exe /S /U " & arg)
	   strCommand="cmd.exe /C "&regsvrPath&" /U " & comPath
	  iReturn =  objShell.Run(strCommand, 0, True)
     End If
    'msgbox "Done."
    Set objShell = Nothing
    Set objFSO = Nothing
End Sub

Erk.

Just in case I neglected to mention it in the email, SirSmiley ...these are the exact issues I was having when testing it myself. Another moderator also had the first problem.

I really hope you do get it sorted out. It looks great.

Yesterday I had problems with getting the Metallic Iron skin to apply. Then anytime I selected an item from the menu the second, default hide/close/about/preferences menu would appear. But when I unregistered the com object, deleted everything, and then started over from the zip it didn't have that problem anymore.

However, today when I load the iReflector up again I can't get the custom r-click menu. All I get is the standard hide/close/about/preferences menu.

Are you using the R-click Replacement script? I was having problems with that on some stuff I was working on so I just opted for the regular r-click menu.

Erk & sViz the issue may have been that I left in an additional Right click option on the top bar that was being used in the object when developing.

And yes I'm using the custom r-click menu. I had those issues only with the option up above enabled.

I think I will switch it to including automatically installing/uninstalling like Skarn did in his object. After all how many people actually do have ImageMagick installed?

Edit: Don't know how to say this without sounding like a kiss @ss but, DesktopX does a great job of packing the dll into the final gadget!
