DX SUCKS!!!!
I have had it and im giving up!
Saturday, November 19, 2005 by RomanDA | Discussion: DesktopX
OK, Now that i have your attention.. I need to get STARDOCKS attention.
I have been working on a new gadget/widget. I have been saving my desktop all the time.
It was 90% complete. I was simply updating the LOGO i had on it.
Yeah I'm sure you ALL know where this is headed.. BOOM, DESKTOPX HAS CAUSED AN ERROR.. CRASH... BOOM..
So when it comes back up i tell it that i want to START from scratch not load the last desktop.
I load in the SAVED WORKING 90% DONE Desktop i saved before my CRASH....
Yeah I'm sure you all know what is gone...
ALL MY FREEKING SCRIPTS!!
How the HELL does this damn program delete my freaking scripts in the desktop that i had NOT SAVED when it crashed?
WHY DOES THIS STUPID PROGRAM DELETE SCRIPTS?????????????
I have learned and have a 70% done SCRIPT saved as a NOTEPAD TEXT FILE.
I load the desktop that WAS working, and paste in the now 4 hr old script.
As soon as i hit APPLY .. THE DAMN THING DOES IT AGAIN!!!
So now, i have my freaking objects sitting there, i cant ADD the script to them without crashing it all.
Mind you this is a script that WAS working for days of editing.
Also remember that all i was doing was changing a logo.
So .. STARDOCK,
FIX THIS DAMN PROGRAM!
FIX IT SO IT DOESNT DELETE MY SCRIPT!
FIX IT SO THAT I CAN GET MY 10 DAYS OF WORK BACK AND RUNNING
FIX IT OR REMOVE IT FROM THE MARKET!
Until DX no longer booms for NO REASON, and deletes my HARD WORKED SCRIPTS I REFUSE to make another widget/gadget using this program.
Just so you know, i have been a VERY LOYAL DX person I have gadgets up on DG, I'm 5th overall in Widget downloads, so I'm not just LEARNING this program.
I'm so pissed right now, if I NEVER work on DX again.. I'll be fine.
But be aware, if this issue is NOT addressed I will become a VERY VOCAL OPPONANT to DX!
I have had it with my work being screwed for no reason, I have had it with having to re-do my work over and over.
And now I cant even use my damn backup!
This needs fixed NOW! Oh yeah.. and Tomorrows my Birthday.. so Stardock knows just what to give me..

Brad, you say nothing about the actual problem being fixed. Is that on the list of things to do?
The idea of an external script file is sound, but what would you use to edit it then? I enjoy editing within DX, but I'm not a fan of losing all my work on DX's whim. Is the external script idea a solution to the problem, or a workaround?

Justin - not to be too blunt ...
But atleast he has a work around for now. I can for see a problem being solved as soon as they find why and what is wrong. But for the time being - atleast there is something to try and see if it will help a bit. If not then we all have to wait for the problem to be fixed. Which is destiny for the time being...
Do this for me also - try to answer your own question here for Brad ok...?
And give it some time also.
OK - look on the bright side a bit~!

Hmm external scripts. Sounds good.
I still think DX should make temp files just like MS office. That's a good idea right there.

just an update..
As everyone says here.. you will redo the code and make it better.. and i have, and it is..
I have taken to using the ultimate backup.. WIDGETS! all the code is in there, and you can just import it back. I have 20 versions of my widget now. Even thought it will never be a widget, it will be a gadget only... my first GADGET only...
I also did get my code back, Brad had the development guys get the script back for me. But this was a few days late, but it was VERY much appreciated! i was able to pull some things that i forgot.
Thanks for all the input, and help, and understanding on this one!
