Spreadin' the word!

Will it tell you when FA is down? ;)

Well yes, with a fairly generic error but it does say it's down.

*uses* thanks!

hmm sounds usefull but i'm not sure if i should trust it being non official? (nothing against you personaly)

Yeah a lot of people are paranoid and as a developer I can understand that. I may include the option of not storing login data in future versions, with the drawback of being nagged for login details every run or at least as often as it needs it. Feel free to use a network analyzer on it though, it only contacts FA.

u could also go to fa admins and get them to approve it ? that would help :)

Yeah I may do that if it becomes a problem :)

Highly awesome idea! Especially since SF lets them e-mail you notifications so my computer goes off. *nab*

Needs to have a record of how many messages there were last it checked, so when it shows an update, its only an update since the last check.

Basic psuedocode for what I'm articulating.

If messages > old messages, then say "you have " + (messages - old messages) + " new messages"

old messages = messages;


Reason being is some people keep things in their messages that they have seen, but don't want to remove. Since there is not a 'new message' flag, it must be inferred.

Also the messages should stay new till the person dismisses the message, not when the pop-up window times out.

If I read this right I guess you mean that it should show that you have new messages till you have checked them on the site. There's no real way of doing this since the app has no way of knowing when you've checked them or not unless you've deleted the messages that were new.

And yeah, I'm changing the code to only show what types are new and how many in the popup, while building the autopatcher and other small things.

No, when I said inferred, I just mean you show a differential thing; it only considers there to be no new messages if you manually dismiss the pop-up or use the FA Agent to open the web site. Its a way of saying, "Thanks I've been updated. Keep me posted if there's anything new"

Its simply a differential between now and the last time you checked it.

-sighs- sounds great, but no iPad friendly T_T

Have you thought about open sourcing it?

Is it normal for it to say that it can't get information when you start it up? It doesn't seem to be working..I just upgraded to latest version and double checked username and password.

No that only happens when it can't open the page. I just tried the installer on my laptop just in case, and I have not issues there. Was FA down at the time? Do you have it working now or does it still show the error?

still shows error

Hrrm ovO. The only reason it would give up immediately that I can find while testing is if the cache file is, for some reason, corrupted. If you kill the program, then go to Program Files \ GryphonWorx \ FA Agent and delete cache.ovo and then start the program again, any luck?

*tries*

no luck

hum. Without knowing exactly what it's doing it's hard to say. For some reason it believes that you're not logged in xvx. I've run a few test connections while faking your session (i.e. having your name on the page and so on), and I can't replicate it still ovo it's quite creepy. Please email me on daniel.borgshammar[at]gryphonworx.co.nz so we can continue there?

emailing now

Haven't gotten anything yet :o

um....you shoulda...it didn't fail or anything...
