Within 5-6 days I have most of the apps updated on my portable apps menu since all the updates are coming so fast and I might have come on the internet at least 20 times to check the RSS feeds whether a new app has come and waiting eagerly for the next one plus a new app WinMerge plus Virtual Magnifying Glass today just after PokerTH last night,night because I'm in India right now it's evening,I came at 2 o clock last night downloaded and installed it and then went to sleep,I was so excited about all the new apps plus updates to the latest editions:-)...this is marvelous superb,I feel elated,overjoyed,mesmerized,stupefied,hypnotized,...at the top of the world!!!!Couldn't get better...thought of going to the forums and asking for some new app or divulging my mind into all sorts of inspirational ideas and since I don't know how to implement it since I ain't a programmer ask you guys,but this is a state of the art....nothing more nothing less,and just waiting for the updates as they come.Great Work John!!!!
He promised it ...

Marko
cool
copyright is still 2007 but I guess thats not a biggie
Did You mean last edit?
... this is fixed now.
Thanks for the hint.
BTW:You could edit too
Regards Marko
I think he meant John's
I think he meant John's copyright date in the readme and source, they both say 2004-2007
yep
I meant the launcher source code
The image of magnified text
The image of magnified text doesn't match the current text ... but that's also minor.
Speaking Of Copyright
The site copyright could be updated to 2008 as well.
Hehe.
Check the footer of here too
The copyright is actually implied anyway, so there's no real reason to update it.
Dynamic Mode doesn't work
Hi all
Just installed Virtual Magnifying Glass Portable 3.3.1, and have an issue with it - dynamic mode doesn't function at all. I'm running off a USB Thumbdrive using PortableApps.com Menu v1.1 Beta 4 (I'm on the beta version as I have a high DPI display, and the menu system is screwy with any older version).
If I select "Use Plugin (Usually Dynamic Mode)" in VMG's system tray right-click menu, then left-clicking on the system tray icon stops doing anything, and if I right-click and go to "Show Magnifying Glass" I get an error message popup - "Displaying the overlay on screen failed".
If I unselect "Use Plugin (Usually Dynamic Mode)", everything starts working again.
I also notice that if I right-click and go to "Configurations Dialog", then click on the plugins tab, the list is completely empty, which makes me wonder if perhaps the plugin isn't being properly loaded somehow.
I'm running with DirectX 10 on a fully patched install of Windows Vista, on a Core Duo notebook with 2GB RAM and an ATI Radeon Mobility X1600. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool reports no problems found on any tab, and my drivers are all listed as WHQL Logo'd. My display driver version is listed by DXDiag as being 7.14.0010.0555.
Anybody else have this problem, or is it just me?

As always, support questions go in the forums, not as comments on a news story. Otherwise, no one will ever be able to find your question and answer later on. Please create a new topic about this in other apps support and I'll delete this comment.
I'm very sorry, I honestly
I'm very sorry, I honestly didn't realise. I'll post it now.
