ProEject

[guinness]

It did cross my mind but there are a couple of hurdles I would need to overcome.
1. The increase in filesize (1.9MB), so if people are happy with this then it could be an option.
2. And I did have a second with debugging but I could add what architecture is being used in the log file, so I only have one hurdle.

I'm happy with that, I have a plenty of disk space.

And maybe there could be three separate versions:

• 32-bit only
• 64-bit only
• Hybrid (both 32-bit and 64-bit)

That's answered my problem then.

I totally second SYSTEM's suggestion

Code: Select all

- ADDED: Option to detect all partitions running from a single drive. For example if you want to close drive G:\ but F:\ & H:\ are on the same drive, then ProEject will detect these drives and close applications & windows from those as well.

I just added this to the new version of ProEject which should be released in the next couple of weeks.

Nice addition!

Btw, will translators get an abstract of what has changed/removed/added to the language file?

[guinness]

Yeh, I will send each of the translators a personal message explaining the changes, its the same output as DropIt, because I created the internal application for Lupo73 to generate the language strings.

I've submitted Settings.exe as a false positive to the ClamAV Virus Database Maintainer team. Hopefully there will soon be one FP less.

The ClamAV FP has been fixed.

I'm not going to submit the file to McAfee or VirusBlokAda, though. 3/43 will likely be the final result.

[guinness]

Thanks SYSTEM. I will worry about McAfee or VirusBlokAda

Settings.exe has been removed from the ZIP file because of the flagging & spicydog created it using the .bat file and a battoexe converter. I initially created it in AutoIt but the filesize was large so spicydog sent me this instead.

Yeah, I've see the AutoIt version's Settings launcher and it was large. I want to suggest to use nsis script launcher as the replacement at that time but i can't make it in time. Anyway, in case you're still interested, here's the nsis compiled launcher with the source code. You can use NSIS Portable to compile the script.
Settings-source.zip 68.84kb

Thanks SYSTEM. I will worry about McAfee or VirusBlokAda

The nsis launcher seems to be clean 0/44

I know this might be late but it possibly could be useful on your future project.

[guinness]

Thanks crownixx, I will add in the next release

[guinness]

So in the last couple of days I've been polishing the new version of ProEject and honestly I have a couple of surprises planned. But not one to keep a secret this is a little snippet of the changelog.

Lupo73 requested additional information in the GUI which I initially dismissed, guess what ...

- ADDED: Option to show additional information in the GUI under the drive.

A huge improvement is with the TrueCrypt integration, lets say for example you have 3 TrueCrypt containers running from a USB drive using G:\, H:\ and J:\ & the initial drive being F:\, now ProEject will be able to detect these drives and dismount as well as ejecting the F:\ drive.

- ADDED: Ability to detect TrueCrypt containers, therefore if you have multiple containers running from a single drive ProEject will detect these and dismount accordingly.

Native x64 version which fixes issues for those who use x64 portable applications. If you don't then this doesn't affect you.

- ADDED: Native x64 version.

Added partition detection.

- ADDED: Option to detect all partitions running from a single drive. For example if you want to close drive G:\ but F:\ & H:\ are on the same drive, then ProEject will detect these drives and close applications & windows from those as well.

[SYSTEM]

Some notes after actual use:

• If "time to wait before closing" is not set to 0, ProEject hangs (with about 0,1 % CPU usage) instead of closing the applications.
• I've got the TIP_EJECT_1 and TIP_EJECT_2 messages in English even though I use the Finnish language.

FIXED.

FIXED.

Thanks SYSTEM!

ProEject V1.0.0.1 (Preview)

So in the last month I've been working on the next version of ProEject (& maybe the last.) It's got to a point where I'm really happy with the new additions I've made, so now I want to know if it's been worthwhile.

The major addition is the ability for ProEject to be run in either x32/x64 mode (I will be releasing as separate applications in the final too,) therefore it can now clean/close x64 native applications. Therefore to make those aware when you select ProEject.exe it will create a temporary folder called 'Data' that executes the correct version of ProEject_x32/x64, as it's temporary it will be deleted when ProEject closes.

Visit the website to download the Preview version. Thanks

WARNING: (TEST VERSION ONLY)

Note: The source code is upon request due to being a test release.

Changelog.
