Wow thanks I been waiting for this for a while. Can't test it now I am at school and they have admin restrictions. when I get home I'll see if it work on Vista and XP.
DNA... Forget it, it's too long to write.
Cool, thanks. This has actually been in testing since Daphne 1.33 lol, this version just upgraded the internal version of Daphne to the latest release

That was quick! Yeah I was testing out version 1.34 and was getting this issue on Vista saying it does not work on XP. Anyway good app really like it especially now that there are are all these botnets going around on the net.

Works Great really like it. It still asking me for the Debug program in order to work well on XP but I am using Vista. Also in the drop menu the highlighted commands, move around when I try too pick "kill".
Are you still looking for a new logo?
DNA... Forget it, it's too long to write.
For the drop down menu issue you will need to contact the author of the base application. For the Debug popup, it applies to XP and Vista, the popup text just hasn't been updated. That's also something to contact the original author about. I may send him a link to this topic tonight.

For the help, I will try to contact the author about the drop down menu issue. Thanks for all the help I'll also try to add the Debug program tonight or tomorrow morning, again thanks for the response.
DNA... Forget it, it's too long to write.
I contacted the author. Here is his response:
I don't have time to check one more forum, really. I copied the report in two bugs at Daphne forum [http://forum.drk.com.ar/viewforum.php?f=2].
I can reply you any time you need, and then you can respond the users at PortableApps.
The bugs:
"It still asking me for the Debug program in order to work well on XP but I am using Vista. ..."
Reply: Debug privileges are required by Windows XP and over, including Vista. As long as the this message disappears once you have given the privileges to the Windows user; it is not a bug.
"... in the drop menu the highlighted commands, move around when I try too pick "kill"."
Reply: I don't quite understand this problem. If you order the process list by CPU consumption certain process change positions constantly. If you right click one of those process and try to click a menu item you may be afraid of executing the command over the wrong process. That won't happen, as Daphne keeps the right process selected.
I don't know if I did answer the right question.

For not responding sooner been busy with school and stuff, I had to study for my final for this week
. Thanks for the info I really appreciate it, I will get back to testing it on Monday.
P.S I know this is going to sound dumb but I tried to set the debug program privileges to Vista by typing "secpol.msc" in the run command like it ask at the DRK Website. But Vista tells me it can't find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Daphne works really well, and it's saved my butt on a few occasions. So, great job, Zach.

Well that is good news for you and your butt. I'm glad it worked well for you. Thanks for the compliment on the work.

I could have sworn I already posted this, but I have the icons done in nuoveXT and Crystal style.

I know I saw it too. I saw like three comments go missing in the past day.
I'm talking to Ben in IRC and he said he remembered seeing it before as well. At least I know i'm not going crazy now

Updated internal version of Daphne
See initial post for a question I have.
Links to my icons are in the main post as well
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
In my brief perusal, I didn't find any options for the GUI version, so it seems the first option would be preferable.
Only trivial testing so far, but it looks good! -hea
After looking into the command line version, most of the options, in there current implementations would not be especially useful.
I think for now, I will ignore the command line version. I do plan to incorporate it, and will work on the code to do so, but it's not a pressing issue for the time being.
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
Yeah, you're fine ignoring the command line option for now. The GUI is of far more use to most people.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
In that case, everything is ready to go except for picking the icon, or making a new one. My attempted icons based off your idea of using the Nuove set are in the main post
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
Mirror the geers horizontally before overlaying the magnifying glass. That'll give us a more-square icon that'll look better at 16px.

Alright, i can do that. i'll post in a bit

I've just had the chance to test this on vista ultimate sp1, and it seems to work well and leaves nothing behind.
New icons are up. See main post.
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
Updated to latest PAF specs. Reposted 2 custom icons with John's request to flip the gears.

Hi
Version 1.37 and new languages are out!
Thanks, updated
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
Dev test 2 is up
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
Please update also the new languages from 2nd November.
You will find the setup file with the new langs on the homepage
Thanks!
Is anyone going to take this over?
Maybe
:-)If Zach doesn't mind. Although I can't get auto language switching working as I can't see how the app is told to use another language instead of English (which is built-in so there aren't any files to manipulate) and I can't find any info anywhere. Any ideas anyone?Also, I noticed all the applanguage stuff was commented out in the last release (1.37) so maybe it's good to go without the switching?
Feel free to take this one over too
