ProtectionId Info thread - Current 6.3.5

[Jito463]

Ah, that makes a world of difference. I'm used to the "log window" from PID v5, so that's where I looked automatically in PID v6. I don't really care about the installer detections, but it doesn't make much sense to bother with if you ask me.

*EDIT*
By the way, one more option might be to "clear" the log window, so we don't have to close PID to clear it.

*EDIT2*
No, PID v5 didn't have a filter on it.

watch the 'protection log' window instead of the main log window (2nd button down on the left side)

autoscroll on the main log window (1st button, left side) is always enabled, because other things can use it as well... so it probably wont be disabled anytime in the near future

i could make another option to 'skip' types..
like the installer etc you mentioned...

skip installer, skip dongle etc..

would that help?

documentation would also help, cdk's doing that though, should arrive soon... its a beta for a reason

v5 also had a log filter if i remember right.. haven't looked at it in ages tho..

Hmm, I wasn't sure what that was, so I didn't mess with it. That helps, though it still focuses on things that don't matter (like [-= Installer =-] Wise Installation Wizard Module !). I suppose the only thing left is to disable auto-scrolling in the log window. Makes it hard to read existing scans until the scan is completely finished. I looked through the configuration page and didn't find any reference to scrolling in the log window.

I do have one suggestion for ProtectionID, and it's something that's always bugged me about it. With A-Ray scanner, it will only display relevant results, e.g. it only displays the actual copy protection detected. In PID, it displays EVERY file that it scans, regardless of whether the file is copy protected or not. If I'm scanning an entire directory or a disc, I then have to scroll through a number of listings in order to find the ONE that I'm looking for. It's the sole reason why I still keep A-Ray on my system, in spite of it not being updated anymore.

Beta

I just wanted to say thank you too Great job, on a nice piece of software. And its really easy to use.

[evlncrn8]

will be disabled by default in next build.. promise

[Jito463]

Well, here's some criticism for you. Whether it's constructive or not, I'll let you judge. Nix the voice at startup. It's very annoying.

*EDIT*
Never mind, I found the option to disable "speech". But it's still annoying that it's enabled by default.

[evlncrn8]

cheers all, surprised noone has whined about the gui, on other forums people complained that they didnt like it.. but i think compared to v5 gui, its a lot better...

any constructive criticism is welcomed...preferably with a bit more info than 'i dont like the gui'...

[Quake]

Also of me a large thanks for the PID v6.0 Public XMAS BETA.

[chrashoverraid]

ok if u dont can talk about this. so i have to wait and see i think the icons are very small if u have got a monitor with a high resolution. i will play if i have more time with it.

[korn2006]

correct .. you'll see as/when they appear Hanschke
the idea was to release this beta to iron out any other potential bugs, and not having to confuse the matter with fixing bugs in plugins etc.. we're concentrating on the core first, plugins after that...

That's correct.
