Winamp Info Tool (v6.3.1 available, released on 19-12-2022)

[Koopa]

The visual glitch is fixed.

As for the BT issue, I cannot reproduce it, I asked Pawel to make a quick test and he can run BT without any problem under XP as well.

Info Tool checks for the uninstall regkey for Backup Tool detection, so I have only one idea:

Is it possible, that you just use Backup Tool without installation and have not used the Backup Tool installer?

I think a little tough to have used the Backup tool without the installation, I have it installed on my system since last year.

Here are two tests I did:

1 - Uninstalled the backup tool, run CCleaner, deleted the folder "Winamp_Backup" and installed again backup tool and run the first screen and click in cancel, I run the info tool again, it reported the backup version of the tool, but does not run saying that the himself was not present.

2 - Uninstalled backup tool, run CCleaner, deleted the folder "Winamp_Backup", I deleted of the register:

code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Winamp]

@="C:\\Program Files\\Winamp"

"BackupToolPath"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Application Data\\Winamp_Backup"

rebooted my xp, after the restart installed the backup tool, rebooted again, after the restart, run the info tool and it informed the version backup tool, but did not run saying that it was not present, so I performed a custom backup of all files and again run the info tool and continued the same, only stating the version and click run reported that the backup tool is not present.

I saw your screenshots in the version of your backup tool is new for me, would not it?

The path you've shown is for the backup directory only (the path where your backed up files are located).

The installation key for the program itself is in:

[HKEY_Local_Maschine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Winamp Backup Tool]

can you confirm, that the regkey exists?

Yes there is.

The full regkey for verification:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Winamp Backup Tool]
"DisplayName"="Winamp Backup Tool"
"UninstallString"="C:\\Program Files\\Winamp Backup Tool\\Uninstall_WABackup.exe"
"DisplayVersion"="1.0 Beta 11.7"

Edit: Your version is more recent than mine, is not that why you could not reproduce the bug?

My version: 1.0.910.0

[Koopa]

Hmm, there should be also:

"InstallDir"="D:\\Programme\\Winamp Backup Tool\\"

in the key. I don't know, why your registry is missing that key. This explains, why the button won't open the tool for you. The newer build number was just from an internal build i have, the issue has nothing to do with the issue.

Well, now to figure out, if the Backup Tool installer fails to create the InstallDir regkey under XP, but for me and Pawel it worked under XP *shrugs*

The last thing you could check for me:

1. Install this, directly over your old BT version: LINK REMOVED

2. After installation run the info tool and see if this works then.

Thanks for all your help.

-Chris

[Candiba]

Done.
Now works with this version you sent me (958).

Edit:
1- Well you said that the build number has to do with the issue, but checking with other compilations that I have here (build 904 and 910) and both have the same bug mentioned and another thing is that this new compilation you sent me is much smaller (in KB) than the two I have.

2- I just download the version available in the forum and the bug continues.

First note for all translators, there will be a small Revision 3 update of the language file. Most important, I'll give you the ability to get credits for your translation. The update will be very minor, so no worries and thanks in advance for your updates.

candiba:

The installer I gave you is latest internal version of BT I have on my system, it was never released. The installer was modified, so that the documentation file isn't part of the installer anymore and it will be downloaded during installation instead. That vastly reduced the file size of the installer and will allow me to easily add localized documentation files in future.

Why you're seeing the bug with the public BT version is too much for me. All BT installers should install the regkey. *shrugs*

-Chris

[Candiba]

Thanks

The English example language file Revision 3 is now available.

This gives you the ability to get credits for your translations, take a look at Polish for example:

http://meggamusic.co.uk/shup/1303769859/itp.png

and localizes the rest of the tool. I bet VIPer will be happy, that the 'v' for the Version number and 'Build' is now localizable as well.

Revision 3:

- added LangString Translation_Author
- added LangString Product_Version
- added LangString Product_Copyright
- added LangString No_Lang_Dir
- added LangString GEN_TRAP
- added LangString File_Generator_HTML
- small change in LangString File_Generator (added a 'v')
- fixed tiny typo in LangString GEN_WIN7SHELL

If there are any problems etc, just let me know about it.

[Candiba]

Hey Chris'

Updated my language file with revision 3.

-Candiba

[Koopa]

Thanks for your quick update a newer test build with updated PortugueseBR language file is available (Build 615).

-Chris

[Koopa]

I've worked long and hard on a feature request. One of the main problem with the tool was, that the GUI was simply too large, especially on systems with lower screen resolutions.

I spent many hours to add a tabbed interface, and I'm really glad to present it now:



The only downside is, that it requires yet another language file update, my apologies to the translators. The new version adds 5 more strings. The size and positions will be optimized once I got language updates and can work against them.

So Revision 4 of the language file is now available, again sorry.

-Chris

[Candiba]

Chris,

My language file with revision 4
And I believe that the text of the translation of the button are larger than the button itself =/

[Koopa]

Wow that was quick, thanks.

And no worries, I'll increase the size of the buttons so that your translations will fit.

New test build will be available once I twekaed the sizes a bit more, but must go to bed now, it's 03:00AM in the moring. :/

-Chris

[Candiba]

Add 5 lines in the my current translation is faster

Fine, here is 10:00 PM early to go to sleep, lol
