@sst:
From your description its not completely clear to me, what when happens.
But anyway I guess I can't do much about this. The games list and the screenshots list are using a Windows component for displaying information in report or icon from. It's the same component the Windows Explorer uses to display the files list. I have very little influence on what exactly its doing. I can give a list and the information in which form to display the records to the component and thats it.

@Sheriff Hobbes:
Ok, added to my 1.3 wish list. With this new record the list has exactly one entry. The next month I will collect more ideas for 1.3 and then try to finish 1.3 perhaps in winter/spring next year.

I have found a name change bug, inside the screenshot section.

It's when i move the D-Fend Reloaded window, when displaying a game profile, that have 3 or more screenshot.

To reproduce that bug =
Use the windowed option
After display a game profile, that have 3 or more screenshot(s)
After move D-Fend Reloaded window "left to right" and "right to left".
After when you move D-Fend Reloaded window, you will see that the screenshot name(s) and number(s) for a profile change.

I can made a small screenshotvideo, that display that name change bug.

D-Fend Reloaded is not executing any code related to the screenshots viewer when resizing the program window. So this is due to the Windows common control itself and therefore cannot be changed by me.

Two good news:
1. I was able to implement the tree view customization option without new language strings so I can add this feature in 1.2.1.
2. A release candidate of 1.2.1 is online.

Hi, ...

I use = D-Fend Reloaded, "v1.2.1 Release Candidate", Portable structure.

Can it be made an option to

Reset all profiles to template default value(s) (not just one profile at a time). P.S. Only place that option, in the advanced configuration "Programs Settings | Services" section.

Reset pages to template bug: Found and fixed. Additional I've found a small memory leak in the code for resetting the mounting settings which is also fixed.

The reset multiple profiles function is added to my 1.3 todo.

If no new bugs will be found by beginning of next week, I will try to release 1.2.1 beginning of next week.

I have just released D-Fend Reloaded 1.2.1.

@sst:
If you set the ActivateIncompleteFeatures switch in the DFend.ini you will find a new button on the service page of the setup dialog...

Thats bad luck. For me its working. But before making the "Reset multiple profiles" function an official 1.3 feature, of course I will do more testing. Additionally we can think about some progress dialog then.

For the moment I just hope all regular 1.2.1 features are working correctly, so I can think about 1.3 features and don't have to work on a second service release.

1. Fixed.
3. Looks like everything is fine this time. And because I don't have any real new features on my todo I'm not working on DFR at the moment. But we can think of features for a 1.3 release beginning next year.

I went through all the hassle of register blah blah...verify blah blah...Just to say WOW...I am greatly impressed and thankful for your making D-fend available. I got AutoCadR12 a powerful productivity program to work with it. This not only returned customization power long removed from current AutoCad, but it also allowed me to utilize a oldschool plotter from a company that is no longer in business!!! And most of all, I was able to access these still useful and powerful tools without wiping out a entire computer system using XP (in order to dedicate it to old school power).

Finally, WOW, my computers never run faster then those good old DOS days. Thanks.

Please = "moderate and/or look" at that forum section on PortableApps.
Someone made a section for D-Fend Reloaded, on PortableApps November 3, 2011. It dont include a download link­.

See this url link.

I thought i'd try playing an old game again, but when I try open the D-Fend Reloaded shortcut on the desktop I keep getting this error.
It worked sometime ago but not now, I have tried installing the newest version but keep getting the game, any ideas?

Hi Az,
the error message says "Out of system resources". That's strange. The given address does not point to a line of code so I don't know what exactly is going wrong. But because D-Fend Reloaded usually is not using more than a few MB of RAM, I would guess of one of the following things as the reason for the error message:
1. You try to load a damaged image (as screenshot for example) in DFR.
2. Something is wrong on your system.
3. There is a bug in the Delphi runtime library.
