BETA 4.9.20 Bug Report
 

This is either a Bug report for 4.9.20 BETA or just some variables.

1. Double clicking .avi, .mov or divx files no longer activates the default movie viewer as it did in the past. Now the player/viewer must be activated and the file found.

2. Clicking "Revert to Default" in the Options window now reverts A L L setting to DEFAULTING wiping out ALL library preferences, connection speed, etc. I mean they are ALL changed.

3. You can no longer use the "Ctrl" function to load multiple files.

But tonight we'll see. 4.9.19 was a great improvement. Looks better a ll the time. Good job.

OOpps!! Spoke too soon. Did you rewrite the "SEARCH" function?? Whereas, before, I was able to perform 8 searches on various .avi files and get hundreds of returns for avi's in addition to mp3, .zip, .ISO. .bin, .txt and all the others. Now I have a better chance of finding Bin Laden than I do of finding .avi's. My returns for .avi's has been cut from hundreds to maybe a dozen or so.

Now I checked to see what others are running to d/l form me and most are running 4.8.1 or older in addition to the other Gnutella programs.

I am running 4.9.20 and now even my downloads have dropped to 4 to 6 at 11 kb/s if Im kicking butt.

Whatever you changed in this area............

I am unable to do any Bitzi look ups with 4.9.20 my browser does not launch worked fine with 4.9.19 or myabe it could be becuase of recent updates to my OS

under osx, I can bitzi just fine as I can launch movies in latest beta.

Deacon: 4.9.20 just updates the GUI not the CORE so I doubt speeds and searches should be changed compared to 4.2.19. Can it be only because you are now UP and were then a leaf? (Leaves are known to get better results than UPs).

Ciao

I can no longer access this forum from the tools in LimeWire.

Who messed up my 4.9.19. It seemed a lot better than this. It seemed to all work.:confused:

I can no longer access the forum from the tools in LW also.

Also in LW view>show/hide>monitor ------ if you hide the monitor tab then show it again ---- it clears the the autocomplete text fields. It also resets the search tab --- select search type: to all types

Well.................
The "You do not appear to have an active connection blah, blah blah I S B A C K !!!!
The firewall is showing again in my LimeWire and there is not a thing more I can do for it.

Everything more or less was hunkey dory in 4.9.19 but on this somone pushed the wrong button or turned the wrong knob.

AND YOU KILT BITZI>>>BITZI IS GONE!!!!:mad: :eek:

Bitzi don't work!!

seems like a windows thing: I can access forums and bitzi just fine on osx, in fact those are linked since they all call a browser window with a specific address :confused: This would mean that you can't access FAQ and and Using LW too, right? Are you able in library to do on a file a Lookup File With Bitzi and a Show Magnet Details? Are you using Firefox or IE as default broswer?

I'm gonna test that... on my xp boxen

Ciao

Given that you're working...
 

Given that you've worked on the tray icon wouldn't it be good if you could work on this submitted bug as well while you're at it. I think it deserves attention: http://www.limewire.org/jira/browse/GUI-6 .

i can confirm the broken bitzi on 4.9.20.... (seems like limewire doesnt want to open any webpages for anything actually..)

I just tested and the browser calls are not working on windows. All the things that use browser call are affected (things mentionned earlier) and it doesn't matter if either Firefox or IE is the default browser. Justin? Dave? :D

Are you sure it can also launch multimedia files in windows? Someone using LW 4.9.20 can't seem to get their video players to launch: Trouble previewing video files...

It is fixed in 4.9.21 now available

Re: BETA 4.9.20 Bug Report
 

The standard Limewire, at any rate in OSX does this as I found out at my expense amonth or so back ... so this is nothing new but I do wish they would change it or put up a second chance warning. `In New features requests I was promised it would be looked into

I'm taking a break from Beta for a day or three as 19 was giving me what I thought were problems, so I'm checking how things work on 4.8.1 so I'm sure I know what I'm talking about!

I just realized my post could be seen as a dig at Deacon... It was not ...it was at myself! appologies for all if any offence caused:eek:

None taken HOBO. I need a break from these BETA's too. Seems the more bugs we report the more we find. I believe it used to be referred to as the "Peter Principal". You take a good thing and promote it one step above efficiency and instead of backing it back down one step you go one step higher to greater inefficiency.:D

I'm not sure I have the computer know how to test a beta efficiently, but ordinary people will be using the product so I guess my input should be valuable. I'll make some time and get back soon. Take care

What do you mean by player/viewer must be activated and the file found?

MY COMPUTER>>explore>>files>rgt click. play with media player

Meia Player>>file>>search>>

As mentioned by et voila, there was a fairly major bug in the launching of native file (only on Windows) in 4.9.20. This bug was introduced inadvertently during the implemention of a feature requested by another beta tester, and we've moved on to 4.9.21, which seems very solid so far.

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but we are rapidly converging on a near-bug-free version.

We are tremendously grateful for everyone's dedication so far. We've come a long way since 4.9.0!
