I tried adding names to names resoures dll

Downloaded FL Dev and it is a different file, FLDev_1.001b01.zip

Installed it, there is a help link and the Update button works.

But no settings tab/button, no Output Folder option, no Export changes button.

And it still does not update the real dll, even from fresh reboot.

Where do I go now?

You didn’t get the last version. Get it there:
http://forge.the-starport.net/gf/project/fldev/frs/

EDIT: Got your email. As I’ve said, get the 1.1 version; it’s been changed so much I can’t even begin to tell you what exactly was modified. It’s the result of like 4-5 months of usage

Ah no! I had no idea the link was so old!

OK, I got the 1.1b, many thanks.

Maybe I can start regrowing my hair now.

It would be a good idea to hunt down those old links & update them - here’s the one I used this morning:

Thanks pal.

Ya, I kinda knew I’d end up having problems by letting other sites hosting the files. I told Dwn to keep it updated, but he must’ve skipped the release…

Sending this link to Soupman, he does the updating. I just drink all the beer in the fridge. ;D

@DwnUndr:

. I just drink all the beer in the fridge.  ;D

Is that not cold?

Deleted the download and added a link to the forge … no more missed updates ;D

Hi FF…

2 more problems to report…

1. Got 1.1, unzipped it. Ran FLDev after uninstalling the previous version. It takes 6-7 minutes to load the .dll files. CPU usage goes to 100% and it’s impossible to use the PC until the dlls are loaded. Then it works normally until I save changes, when it does the same again but for about 2 minutes.

2. When it saves changes it does it as Language 1033. Some dlls use Language 0 and so those nodes are not replaced, instead two language nodes exist and the updated 1033 node is not displayed by FL.

Sending screenshots by email.

Thanks.

The node problem would be hell to correct; I don’t know when I’ll be able to do it.

The performance issue I can’t do much about; I’ve optimised the program as much as possible, including multithreading. I don’t see what else could be done. What are your system specs?

I had the same issue using the doorstop computer - doesn’t the multithreading support cause problems on non-multithreaded systems, since the program always assumes you have multithreading?

Well I’d expect multithreading to be just “normal” on single-core CPUs; it shouldn’t be slower because of it…

It’s a single-core 3.6GHz with 1GB Ram.

This is a new problem with version 1.1b, the previous versions were loading all the dlls within 5-10 secs.

Just tried it myself on my old 2GHz P4 with similar results to ST, couldn’t even get task manager to start so I could see what was happening.

Gonna have to check, but as I’ve said I have other priorities right now (just look at the letter thread). Unfortunately that means it will not be very usable for single-core CPUs for a while.

Oh dear.

Do you think it was the multi-thread change then?

I don’t see what else could make such a strong correlation while also being relatively logical. The multithreading was the largest change by far, and if the .NET threading implementation wasn’t built with lots of threads on a single core in mind, it might clog up the processor…
