"Pass arguments to Program" not retaining checkbox check about displaymagician

[terrymacdonald]

Gah, I thought I tested all the bits of the start program stuff :(. Very sorry to all. Looks like I'll need a new release.

@stringfieldmark Can you please upgrade your DisplayMagician to v1.1.3 and try again. I found I'd missed two simple assignments within the code :/. Took me 10 seconds to fix....

I'm planning on adding some unit tests to the app eventually to alleviate some of these errors, but I want to wait and do it as part of the move from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET6 and MAUI. Hopefully the big functional changes are all completed now, and it will be just little features and enhancements to add.

Anyway - please report back here as to whether this issue is now fixed.

Hi Terry,

The arguments now work, however, I cannot see any icons in the game shortcut library.

1.1.2.0:

1.1.3.0

I had to create a new shortcut to check the arguments and saved it to the desktop fine, but the app library shows up as blank.

Aarrgghh! Ok, do you use iRacing through a game library, or from a directly specified application exe? I've an hunch my new redundancy fixes don't work for applications 🙁 Thanks Terry

@stringfieldmark Just letting you know I've fixed the issue. It was another stupid bug where the resiliency changes I made to ignore unsupported game libraries also inadvertently also filtered out application-based game shortcuts :/.

Now fixed in v1.1.4. Hopefully this is the last problem for a while as so many silly errors on my part means everyone has to keep applying updates (and that gets frustrating as a user). Really sorry that my missing these errors is causing you so much testing effort.

Thanks for helping me out by reporting all these issues so I can straighten them out. It really helps.

Thanks
Terry

Hey Terry,

1.1.4 has worked a treat. So far so Gr8!

This is now, for me anyway, the ultimate start-up sequence program and not only for my gaming. I can see myself using this as a sequence for starting up what I need for my workday every morning.

Oh, and I am more than happy to do any testing, it is no effort at all and I've not found this frustrating at all. The effort you are putting into this is for us (the users), we should have no complaints.

Keep up the gr8 work.

Mark

Success! \o/ The next thing on the list for me is adding AMD Eyefinity support to fully round out the application's functionality. But for that I need to source a compatible AMD video card while I attempt to map the AMD ADL C language DLL into C# managed code to enable me to do some testing. I'll need to find some older AMD Radeon card to test with: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-21-5-2 . I might put a call out on Race Department to see if anyone has an old one they can send me. I'm not 100% confident I have the needed skills to add the Eyefinity support, but I might as well try it. Learning this sort of stuff is the fun part! Thanks *Terry MacDonald *| Principal Security Consultant | Chief Operating Officer M: [phone] <+64+211+918+814> E: ***@***.*** W: www.cosive.com
