FlashFXP 4.1 Build 1645 (RC 3)

[frostyboy]

Hi Bigstar,

1. What is change log from build 1645 to 1648? What problems were fixed?

2. Evaluation nag screen both in prompt and in popup still says RC3, may wish to remove it in next release. Also the 50% off offer link is broken.

3. Logging in to the forums as in flashfxp.com/forum without the "www" results in a redirect error.

4. Installation defaults. Why is the IE plugin not installed by default and have to choose custom to install it? Other users may not know and simply default to a typical install. Are there any plans for a Firefox or Chrome plugin? And the languages should be optional, not a typical part of the installation? No need to waste more space on unneeded languages.

5. I have had this strange problem of FlashFXP and Win7 Ultimate SP1 32 bit, not saving the 'per user' installation settings and defaulting back to the 'single user'. I cannot find the option in preferences to revert it back. Perhaps this could be introduced in a later build. I have tried this in both normal mode and safe mode. I had to delete the FlashFXP.exe and reinstall and it now seems to work, but its really odd.

6. Given that 4.1 beta is now over, what are your plans for the future? Is your plan to start a 4.2 beta or are you going to start working on version 5?

Thanks!

There was just one change, I fixed the issue with the transfer graph font.

Thank you, I have resolved this issue.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, flashfxp.com/forum should redirect to www.flashfxp.com/forum, this should now be fixed.

When we first implemented the IE plugin we received a lot of flack because its a BHO (browser helper object) and several security conscious customers asked us to not install it by default. We listened to them and make it part of the custom install.

I don't think a plugin is required for Firefox or Chrome, There was a post on the forums somewhere explaining how to configure Firefox to use FlashFXP.

More than half of our customers use FlashFXP in language other than English, It makes sense to have them as part of the typical installation.

I will look into this, the last time I tested the 'per user' settings everything worked as designed. You only installed FlashFXP once correct?

The web site needs lots of work, So thats where I will focus my time before starting on the next release. I have some big dreams for the next version, we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out.

Hi Bigstar,

No problem and thanks again for your prompt responses.

In relation to the per user install, yes I only installed FlashFXP once but this was as an 'upgrade' of build 1645, I then tried repair install to no avail. It was only after deleting flashfxp.exe and reinstalling did it finally revert back.

PS: We can also help 'beta test' the new website for you if and when the time arises , it would be sad for us beta testers to disappear while your efforts are focused on the website.
Just my 2c for you to sleep on.
