Category: Interface (example) Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: imamess (posta) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Cannot Delete Previous search text Initial Comment: version 4 RC-2 Windows XP SP2/IE7 installed(not used)/Firefox 2.0.0.1 Default Browser. Unable to delete prior search text in DQSD searchbar using keyboard select and delete button. Must use arrow keys to "bypass" text in bar-- then backspace. When I installed I had a previous version (3.1.9.2) installed ... when I was prompted to save local changes I said YES. Perhaps that was a mistake.I am going to try installing again without that option... but if it is the cause perhaps it should be included in the installation instructions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: imamess (posta) Date: 2007-01-18 20:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1149648 Originator: YES I would just like to update the team-- since I completely uninstalled/reinstalled DQSD RC4-- I have not had a singles issue... the "blocked by IE" issue is fixed and it works flawlessly. I guess it must have been the previous local prefs file that caused the issue-- I wish I had thought to save it for you-- but I did not. Nice Job on the upgrade. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: imamess (posta) Date: 2007-01-02 18:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1149648 Originator: YES I am sorry... I do not -- it was deleted when I uninstalled and rebooted before reinstalling the new RC. I did not think to save a copy. The only things I had edited were: the default (user) address the default browser (use system default =Firefox 2.0.0.1) the calendar dimension (a little longe and wider) I do still have the first downloaded installer-- I will email that to you. In case something was corrupted in it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Shawn K. Hall (shawnkhall) Date: 2007-01-02 09:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=219805 Originator: NO Do you still have a copy of the local-prefs file you were using when you experienced this problem (a backup copy)? Would you please either attach it to this thread or email it to me privately (shawnkhall of users.sourceforge.net). I'd like to take a look at it and see if there is anything that we may be able to code around in the new version (maybe prevent upgraders like yourself from experiencing this problem). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: imamess (posta) Date: 2007-01-02 06:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1149648 Originator: YES OK.... I would say that is HAS to be the local-prefs causing the issue. I uninstalled from Control-Panel including wiping local settings/rebooted/downloaded a fresh copy of the 4 RC-2/reinstalled/rebooted again... works fine. Even "Loads at startup" without triggering the "blocked" issue... which did not work at 1st-either. The installer DOES popup that you must uninstall previous versions, and I did so-- I did not think that the local preferences file would be an issue.The installer does not specify that you MUST uninstall EVERTHING for this to work. Perhaps a note could be added to the README file --or in the webpage, warning those who 'tweak' this app of this...? Maybe it seems like common sense to a coder, but us less-experienced users get tripped-up by semantics. Fixed now. Thanks for your help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Glenn Carr (glenncarr) Date: 2007-01-01 19:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=18127 Originator: NO I'm not sure about the local prefs issues, maybe some of the other developers can comment on that. A quick check of the install script shows that it shouldn't allow installation over a 3.x install. I'm pretty sure I tested this, but I don't have a machine to test this on now. Can anyone else check this out? Yes, you should report any problems... bug reports are welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: imamess (posta) Date: 2007-01-01 18:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1149648 Originator: YES Well... I have not tried yet. I will. The installer does not say "local prefs" file shopuld also be removed-- it asks if you want to remove it. the price I pay for being lazy, I guess. I just wanted to point out the issue in a "release candidate" I tried it because it said on the download page that the long-running issue with XPSP2 blocking "load at startup". I don't consider this to be too much of an issue. Just thought the team should know. DQSD is a program I use daily/recommend to all I know. If I run across something-- I should report it -- yes? I can always reinstall 3.1 for now. It worked fine -- I was just tired of the blocking issue-- and this said it wa s fixed. No Biggie. Happy New Year to you all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Glenn Carr (glenncarr) Date: 2007-01-01 14:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=18127 Originator: NO Have you tried uninstalling completely, then reinstalling? I the v4 rc2 release required an uninstall of 3.x before it would proceed. Am I wrong? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=432066&aid=1625652&group_id=42081 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
