Movement of User Preferences

I've moved this to the top of General, with a seperator beneath it. The file menu wasn't really the correct place for it!! Reedy Boy 12:05, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Save Function Changes

As a request from User:Phil Boswell (all hail the project manager!!), i've made a few changes to teh save menus. There is now a 'save' (save current) which saves the current settings straight onto the current loaded settings. And a 'save as' (save settings), which allows you to save it under any name.

There was implementation of this tracking, but it didnt seem to have been done properly, so i've sorted that. And set it from a default of "settings" to "default.xml" - logical, eh? :P

Reedy Boy 12:05, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

And I've reordered to file menu so it's more like other applications so people should have no problems using it. —METS501 (talk) 20:36, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

IRCM Page Blanking Bug

I think i've fixed this

Can someone check it works, as i was having trouble doing so before :) Reedy Boy 12:14, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Bot timer

I update the bot timer so that it starts counting at the end of the previous edit, instead of when AWB is ready to save. Unfortunately, it's 3:37 AM, and I'm unable to test it extensively now :-). It should work perfectly, but if someone has a chance to check it out, that would be great. —METS501 (talk) 07:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

It was discussed previously, and I thought we decided that it can be hoggy. MaxSem 08:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
It never really received proper attention, and before I had a really retarded way of doing it. :-) I think it's much better, as do other frameworks (pywikipedia included) that start the timer at the end of the previous edit. It really has no effect on fast computers with fast connections, but is great on slow computers which actually take the time to process the article text rather than load the page. Perhaps a checkbox where the user can select when to start the timer? —METS501 (talk) 17:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Noooooo! Not more user settings ;) Reedy Boy 19:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I like customization. It's cool. —METS501 (talk) 20:36, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Want Second Opinion before Continuing

Just want second opinion on both, and for the second one, where to put it.

Reedy Boy 20:58, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Mets has done the 2nd one =). I cant see any reason not to do the first... Reedy Boy 11:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


Problems with saving

Have either of you had this problem? Sometimes, when the page is saves, it fails to trigger the event that calls the CaseWasSaved() function. Then it just hangs there forever until you click ignore (because it's already saved, but doesn't move on to the next article, so ignore just moves to the next one on the list). —METS501 (talk) 18:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm... I think ive seen it once or twice.... Reedy Boy 18:20, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
On this slow connection in the hotel (don't know if that has anything to do with it) when I run AWB with a very low bot delay between edits, it screws up 75% of the time. I think it might be that the page is not fully loaded before AWB tries to save. —METS501 (talk) 18:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, I'm pretty convinced it has to do with my change above (about when the bot timer starts). I'm reverting that until we can figure this out. —METS501 (talk) 18:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I did revert those changes, but sadly it's still happening (although now only about 50% of the time in bot mode and about 50% of the time in manual mode). —METS501 (talk) 18:58, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Now I'm back home on the fast connection and it doesn't happen. —METS501 (talk) 05:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

chkWLHRedirects

What's chkWLHRedirects for? —METS501 (talk) 17:33, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Removed. It's just hidden the entire time and serves no purpose. —METS501 (talk) 21:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Next Version (3.2.0.0?)

Are we going to have the next release as 3.2.0.0? As we have now got the updater, which is sorta a bit more of a major release?

The updater seems fine, there is just the updating the updater issue, which isnt major, but will need doing, but i cant see it mattering too much atm... Or do we want that before we do the release?

As thinking about it, it shouldnt matter, if AWB does the final copy and paste over of the updater to update it, and the updater has updated AWB to include that, it can be released as it is


Any other preferences/ideas?


Reedy Boy 21:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd say go for it. Just my 2c. --kingboyk 21:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
AWBUpdaters' final touches are nearly done. Should have this version ready to go for the weekend :) Reedy Boy 22:17, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
I say wait the few days until we've built in a solid Updater updater (if one hasn't been built yet; sorry, I haven't checked). —METS501 (talk) 22:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Sam was working on that tonight. I haven't tested it yet but he seemed happy with it. --kingboyk 22:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, i think ive got it. I've changed the updater to download an updated version of itself if the file exists (do it as a seperate download), and then it will copy it to the AWB directory as a file called AWBUpdater.exe.new, on starting AWB (should add the code to IRCM aswell), if that exists, it will nuke the old version, and replace it with the new updater. Reedy Boy 11:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Sounds good. Are we ready for 3.2.0.0? —METS501 (talk) 14:43, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I havent had chance to test it, as unlike you admins, i just cant change the updater v to test it out :P - However, i just thought that if i set the version of the updater to < 1, it will work the same. And it does work :). I have bumped the SVN version to 3.2.0.0
I think we're ready!! - I suppose we need to include the updater in the awb archive ;) Reedy Boy 18:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Steve's just got a few little changes to his plugin he wants to get in before the actual release of 3.2.0.0 Reedy Boy 18:14, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Released Reedy Boy 23:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikisuite

Special:Whatlinkshere/Wikipedia:Wikisuite and {{Wikisuite}}. Clearly the work of a dreamer, needs to be zapped somehow. Not sure how best to deal with it. --kingboyk 14:25, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Zapped. --kingboyk 18:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

IAWBPlugin.Reset

AWB used to have a "reset settings" menu item (I think!), and when that was clicked plugins would receive notification via IAWBPlugin.Reset. That menu item seems to have gone, and I can't find any call to IAWBPlugin.Reset in the AWB code.

Can somebody confirm (or otherwise) that "reset settings" has gone, and gone for good? If affirmative, IAWBPlugin.Reset ought perhaps be marked deprecated, and I'll remove the relevant code from my plugin. --kingboyk 21:48, 23 March 2007 (UTC) PS & Tell me next time! ;)

It's the first menu option under file. —METS501 (talk) 22:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Ah I see. Got it, thanks. --kingboyk 22:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
As a point for you steve, look in the UserSettings.cs for those menu items. It is a partial class of the main form, and some of the menu items and such are there. Reedy Boy

Include Current AWB Version on Nav Bar

Whats anyone think? I think it'd be useful, as a quick and easy to find reminder of the current version.

Reedy Boy 23:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Sounds fine to me. —METS501 (talk) 05:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Have added it, not sure if its the best place!! Move it if you wish. Reedy Boy 15:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

New Developer

User:Martinp23 is now a developer. —METS501 (talk) 18:23, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Weeeeee! :D MaxSem 18:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Welcome aboard! Oh, and good to see he is doing some work =) Reedy Boy 20:10, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Hehe :) Martinp23 20:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Regextypofix + Automode

Just found that if you enabled automode after regextypofix, that it would let you

Which shouldnt happen, so i've sorted that and commited it!!
