I think he means that it would be easier if we were having to do a whole bunch of images (and for some reason or another cannot use the alt+click method).

As usual you guys are doing great. I came by yesterday to post what I thought was a bug I found in 7 but found 8. Just installed 8 and I am still seeing the same thing. I hope it me and not another update for you.

In application porperties for some reason when I go to preview the install of an application from the applicaiton settings window nothing happens. It happen in 7 and might have even been an issue in 6 but I am not sure. Anyway I wanted to bring it to your attention though I am still not sure if it's something I am doing wrong or a setting I don't have right.

Dragonguy, keep this in mind. The OS your using, if your on a windows box, was sold to you and they knew of over 500 bugs in the OS when they sold it to you with the intention of updating it for free when they get the chance. MMF is cheap to begin with, all the patches for the version you got ON CD were free, I don't even think there were any patches to the CD Release but I could be wrong.

Any updates you get from the CD version up that you don't have to pay for is a bonus. These guys work around the clock to make sure their customers are happy. Look at it from this perspective. If your frustrated about the new update think how Yves and the team feels when they put out a version they think is solid and in less than 24 hrs people are pointing out what is not working. While thats good, and the point of the Beta, they still have to deal with going back in to the code and finding the issue then fixing it. Nobody pays them for that time and if they work anything like I do they most likely put more time in to getting this software working for free than the average person does at a job they get paid for.

Your frustration is understandable but you always have the choice to not use the beta, be happy with the version you currently use and wait until the current beta of any upgrade is ready for public release. With beta you don't get the option to complaine about anyting, only point out what you see. If you don't like that then don't use beta's. This is not a digg but just a reality. Hopy you understand what I mean by that, I do understand your frustration and dont mean for this to be a flame but rather a perspective from someone who spends about 18-20 hrs a day in front of a computer programming. Why do I do this to myself?

Ah, Vista issue, I forgot to report this fix from Install Creator, it doesn't preview the installer because it has admin privileges. I'll fix it (maybe only in the next build though). To make the preview work in the meantime you can execute MMF2 in administrator mode.

See, I knew it was my fault.

Thanks,

Err... no it's not your fault LOL

Yea it is. It's my fault I purchased Vista! LO... :|

Did I say that out loud?

Haha

Well, I say not good enough. It isn't quick and time effective to have to click 'next frame,' move mouse, click move hotspot button, repeat for so many frames. And I am not saying that I can't use alt click, it is just that not ALL frames are the same size. Doesn't the hot spot just choose the X position of the open frame to match all frames selected? Sometimes it just doesn't work out the way I want.

Thats kinda harsh! I do think you have an option here your overlooking. I think, though I might be mistaken, you could take the time to learn C programming (if you don't already know it), study the MMF SDK (if you have not already), and write an object that does this for you.

I am a developer who writes in many languages, just not C, and it's the same option I have whenever I don't have something I need. You might even be able to use the .net object if you know VB but that extention is one I have not explored yet. So the question now becomes are you willing to do what it takes to create a solution yourself until, if ever, Clickteam is able to produce a product you are 100% happy with? If so I bet the wonderful people in this forum would be more than happy to direct you in the right direction for the resources you need.

Just a thought.

You can't do that with the SDK.

The problem with the shortcuts in the picture editor is that there are conflicts with the controls that take the focus and I haven't taken enough time to find a solution for that. It's in the todo list, but I don't know when I'll time to look at this issue.
