Bugs

  • Installer

    • Set screensaver for current user (rather than admin)
    • install doesn't create or update shortcuts, even if the option is unselected to not install shortcuts.
    • Uninstaller doesn't remove sqlite files for non admin user.
    • Add ignore this update option

  • Random Photo Screensaver

  • Filter not always coming on

  • Images not updating on Windows XP dual setup

  • Network drives/folders in folder treeview

  • If no folder selected (in copy and paste view) treeview computer (all drives checked), but no folders are included

  • Allow mouse movements for 1.5 seconds after closing config

  • Add highlight back to config search

  • Rotate image not updated after previous/next navigation when filters are enabled.

  • If exclude subfolders is checked and a folder with subfolders is selected it checks all of the subfolders in green rather than greyed out.

  • If exclude subfolders is checked and a folder with subfolders is selected it checks all of the subfolders.

  • Apply button for folder changes / apply changes when config screen closed

  • Save hidden attributes

  • Remove No images found in folder(s)... once images are found

  • Still in the initial opening of Settings, I couldn't deselect/select the random timing option. I set min and max to 30s, but the checkbox wouldn't go away. When I closed settings, then opened again from Screensaver Options, the check was unselected.

  • In the initial opening of Settings, I turned off the clock on both screens, but when running the preview (and subsequently opening the settings again) the clock was displayed on Monitor #2.

  • The bug is back where 2 panoramic images show up (1 on each screen) when starting the screensaver, but then works normally in panorama mode for all subsequent images.

  • Fix not loading of config.html

  • Re-read database content (after changing hidden folder/file settings)

  • Bug: Config won't be processed in 1 out of 5 Preview button clicks

  • Run only one rps4.exe process

  • Cache config settings in C# as playing videos causes DOM to be slow/not available

  • Shortcut keys using ctrl/shift/alt when exit on keyboard is switched on

  • Having to press Esc twice after showing and hiding config screen

  • Hide/show mouse cursor Config screen

  • Limit history ##,### entries to avoid potential out of memory crash

  • Store settings from Screen saver Config (add Save button?)

  • Fix single quotes in file/folder names

  • Stretch small images

  • Bugfix: avi movies stay stuck on screen

  • Don't show images outside folder select (purge from DB?)

  • Set correct screensaver bounds in preview

  • Config: Disable show selected folders when in manual edit mode.
