CodeWalr.us Post Notifier [Windows] [Mac] [Linux]

[DarkestEx]

Oh right I kinda missed that step lol. My bad XD (I tried entering the values in then submitting, but I forgot to click Add before. It works now.

And for the multiple post notifications of the same posts, could it be caused by one of the recent posts being edited?

Yes, that could absolutely be. The notifier checks if the API has detected any update. If the same post gets detected earlier and added to the unread list and if it's later edited without being read, it could be seen again. I am not sure if I should "fix" this as I actually built the framework to allow exactly such notifications.

Would it be feasible to say new edit in such case ?

I am not sure, but I'll try

Oh, I thought it jus repeated if you le it pass without touching the notification.

By the way, I am unsure but it seems that the notifier now always reports the wrong posts. For example, a NAGOJI post from several minutes ago gets reported when I post in another thread, then when I posted this, it once again reported the NAGOJI post..

I think it says NAGOJI and 5 other posts in the popup, until you click veiw or dimiss.

Yeah, but note that dismiss does not mark the message as read; it will only close the notification.

Not sure. Have to look into this. What version are you using (Build date and version number)?

OK, I will have a look at it.

By the way, it is not that hard to get this to run on startup. Although the program lacks such option, all you have to to is create a shortcut in Start->All Programs->Startup then you're set.

Do you think you could make the post notifier load images only if its window is at the top? Otherwise, when a post with many large images is made, the notifier starts lagging like mad so a black square appears in the bottom-right of the screen for 10 seconds until the pictures have loaded and the post list window freezes during that time.

Alright, I will look into fixing all the glitches and the issues if there is still interest.
Is there?

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Yup. I have it in my startup folder so it launches everytime I start my computer

That sounds like a good reason to update it

By the way, to summarize the issues I got with it:

-The icon is gone and now shows a bell icon instead of that variation of
-It sometimes notifies of the wrong posts (it remains stuck behind and notifies of one particular post multiple times)
-No option to start it on startup. While we can do it by putting it in the start folder, it's not necessarily convenient for people who aren't tech-savy.
-Computer freezes during about 10-60 seconds when a massive post with about 30 large 1000x1000 images get posted, but that is a rare occurence since such kind of post is rare.

EDIT: For example, as I posted this it notified of 128x64 monochrome pictures instead.
