Freak (developed due to PortableFreeware feedback)
Re: URLFilter (developed due to PortableFreeware feedback)
So I finally should have a Beta available by the weekend. A big thanks to joby_toss and ChemZ for testing the Alpha versions of URLFilter (title may change.)
Re: URLFilter (developed due to PortableFreeware feedback)
I'd like to see a name change!
Re: URLFilter (developed due to PortableFreeware feedback)
Any suggestions? Because I want something catchy.

Haha!
Searching for Opera found 3 entries! One I was using and 2 in the temp folder! (Say what?)
Deleted the temp folder, seached again. Found 3 entries! One I was using and 2 in the recycle bin!
It wouldn't update all 3 I'm afraid (not that I want it to). Anyway got rid of the other 2 and tried again, got "It appears an error occured when updating the URLFilter file".
It does download urlfilter.ini, but just stops afterwards. Thought maybe because Opera was still running but nope, same thing. Tried deleting Settings.ini and urlfilter.ini to start anew, same thing...
'Included Portable Version' doesn't seem to do anything(?), is that because I only use Opera portable?
Found a neat trick too! Right at the start, you can kinda stall your computer for a few seconds (mine does at least). Where the writing for 'Test Version' appears, left-click then down arrow (or right arrow). Weird.
Opera v11, XP Pro SP2.
Suggestion:
- Have the tool tips appear in the status bar instead when you hover the mouse over a button. Writing should fit and it's quicker.
- Make it remember last window position. Right now it always top-left, just off the screen.
- Let us know who you are in 'about'.

OK, I will have a look at the problems. This has been tested on XP SP3, Vista and Windows 7 so it might be a SP2 problem I need to workaround.
Thanks for the suggestions. And joby_toss how about AdsHelper?
I will have a look at excluding the Recycle Bin.Deleted the temp folder, seached again. Found 3 entries! One I was using and 2 in the recycle bin!
I will include a logging feature to work out little problems likes this.It wouldn't update all 3 I'm afraid (not that I want it to). Anyway got rid of the other 2 and tried again, got "It appears an error occured when updating the URLFilter file".
If this is selected it will update both the Installed and Portable Versions. If deselected it only updates the Installed Versions.'Included Portable Version' doesn't seem to do anything(?), is that because I only use Opera portable?
OK, will have a look at adding.- Have the tool tips appear in the status bar instead when you hover the mouse over a button. Writing should fit and it's quicker.
It does remember them, but I have disabled this in the Test Version.- Make it remember last window position. Right now it always top-left, just off the screen.
It's unfinished of course.- Let us know who you are in 'about'.
Thanks for the suggestions. And joby_toss how about AdsHelper?

We definitely don't want to help the adds!
Re: URLFilter (developed due to PortableFreeware feedback)
True, but it should be something short, catchy and somehow gives a clue to what the application does. Maybe Bland?

Yeh, I think we have it
Re: URLFilter (developed due to PortableFreeware feedback)
The project is still very much alive but I am in the process of creating a Log UDF for testing purposes as Chemz seems to be having issues which I want to find the problem of. I will of course post the UDF to the AutoIt Forums for others to use & Yes it's a little more sophisticated than _FileWriteLog() as I will include the ability to display in a GUI interface too.

Re: URLFilter (developed due to PortableFreeware feedback)
I don't know if I should ask for this, but I'd really like to see support for ipfilter.dat file added, especially for utorrent.
Or maybe it should be a separate app?

I could add it, but I'm developing it more by giving users the ability to add custom applications
