More DX Items that don't work right

it's still not ready for RC status..

Since you have upgraded the status of DX to RC, I think you should really address some issues that are present before you go final with this version.

1. Where is the Digital Clock plugin?
- all I have in the Additional Abilities section that are clock related is the Analog Clock 3. Didn't there used to be a digital clock one?

2. System Information tool...
- I have 4GB of Memory. (Windows only recognizes 3Gb due to chipset/32bit limitations, despite the bios seeing all 4 GB) The Info tool only sees 2047.

3. OS Info: Vista Ultimate shows simply as "Pro".

4. The Vista Performance Meters - UAC is turned off and they just don't work. (I realize you know this already, but it IS worth reminding you of.)

I just noticed this. The SDPlugin Meters on RightClick work on Vista. Aren't they based on DesktopX?

funny you mention that gef. I have experienced faulty DX systray and taskbar object behavior since the dawn of DX. It's NEVER been reliable for me.

Hi Phoon,

(1) I don't recall there being a digital clock plugin? I just looked back to the last non-beta release and didn't see any digital clock plugin?

(2 & 3) Looking in to updates for that module ; the ones responsible for that specific piece are running behind so that update will likly be available in a 3.5x update if it doesnt make it in the non-beta.

(4) We're working for a workaround, including looking at the option of completly rewriting the plug-in and shimming things to make it work, but Microsoft really broke this one good with little recourse.

(5) We are activly working on getting a rebuild of this, it is most certainly on the list. I'd expect the next update to have it resolved.

Thanks Jeff.
I wasn't 100% sure of #1. I have an old version of DXPro (3.10 from 2005) hanging around. I might fire that up in a VM to see if I can find it. It could be a simple matter of my encrusted brain tissue..

Why do the meters in RC work, but not DX?

I havent updated to this version but I've had a few people tell me that they could not ' see' the Text date widgets at all. I had them look in the SDPlugin's and the SDTextDate.dll was missing also. I sent them the dll and then it worked for them.
Not sure why this dll would be missing too ( they have the latest 3.5 beta version )
