GraphCalc Portable 4.0.1 Development Test 6

Don't you mean, when it Cafe isn't running?

Yeah, I had that problem with FakeNES Portable.

I'll take a look see

cool! I was thinking about doing that program. i'm glad you made it because that's one less app i feel the need to provide.

ok, right off the bat i see a couple of problems. First, the installer extracts to the folder "SumatraPDFPortable" (you need to edit the installer script). Second, after the program closed, it spat out 3 files into the main graphcalcportable folder instead of the Data folder (answer_history.gcs, default.gcl, and graphcalc.ini). I haven't really looked into it any deeper than that.

i don't know about everyone else, but with dev test 3 now I can't even run the program. the installer extracts fine but when i try to run the program nothing happens.

the program still spits out the 3 files in the main folder. i think what's happening is when the program runs it looks for/creates it's settings files in it's folder, but when it's run from the nsis launcher, it sees the launcher's folder as the program's folder instead of the one in apps/graphcalc. i don't know what to do to fix that but i'm sure someone else does.

Are you going to update this at all? Fixes for the issues you were having seem to have been posted here, so it shouldn't be too hard to implement them.

i didn't catch any problems whatsoever with the program itself, i didn't really look at any PAF related things.

And here sir, is the small stuff.

• In App\AppInfo, remove appicon-16.ico and edit appicon.ico to include 48, 32, and 16 pixel sizes in both 8 and 32 bit format using something like IcoFX.
• In App\AppInfo\AppInfo.ini, the author is wrong, you have the SumatraPDF author in there.
• In the AppInfo.ini, the last line is spelt wrong, and should be the portable exe, which is GraphCalcPortable.exe.
• It looks like it comes bundled with an unneeded graphcalc.ini in App\graphcalc.
• You're missing Other\Source\AppSource.txt.
• You're missing App\Readme.txt.
• Change the Other\Source\Readme.txt so suit GraphCalc, remove the version number from the first line, and add your copyright.
• We're getting rid of splash fading, change the 100 on line 169 to 0.
• Clean up everything you commented out in the source. If it's needed, fix it, if not, remove it.
• Update the help file to link to a future page instead of this thread or else you'll forget later.
• If this program update was last update 5 years ago, then there's no harm adding the latest XP theme manifest. So use this GraphCalc.exe that will work with later Windows themes better. I think you'll see the difference.
• Update this and your other development test posts to the format stickied at the top of beta testing to make it easier for people to test and give feedback on your apps. No need to update them all now, just as you go.

That's all. It looks like a nice program. Good choice.

I've found that when I copy GraphCalcPortable.ini from the Source folder to the main folder and set DisableSplashScreen=true, the splash screen still displays. Even if I delete GraphCalcPortable.jpg the splash screen is still displayed. This should probably be fixed.

Can you please update your post to match the recommended format so we know what version of GraphCalc you packaged, and so we can clearly see when the last update was? And also add a new comment to the thread each time you release an updated?

It will make things easier for users/testers to see when changes were made, so they can be sure if there's a new version they need to get, and it'll make my maintenance of the Dev Test page much easier.

Not trying to criticize, just trying to make things easier for us all. For an example of the format, look at JKDefrag Dev Test. Thanks in advance

*tinker* tested.
Works great

The site the link took me to said it couldn't find the file-perhaps inactivity or something like that took it out.
