CarlosM Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Congratulations for the latest generation of the ImgBurn program. Now that it not only can burn ISO images, but also create them, it is really becoming the small and easy CD writing utility that I was searching for some time. Unfortunately I can not really use it in the moment, because it has a strange problem with my virtual windows manager. I'm using the program "vern" (http://www.oneguycoding.com/vern/) and the ImgBurn does not seem to like being handled by vern. I can start it on one desktop, and when I switch to another one and come back to the desktop where ImgBurn is running, the ImgBurn window disappears and from there on it is impossible to bring the window back. It really looks as if it flees away, I see that vern hides it in some other desktop, but when I go to that it has moved again to some of the currently invisible desktops. Has the program some mechanism that it tries to move its window to some suitable place which kicks in before or after a vern desktop switch? Perhaps it doesn't notice that it has been moved around by another program and thinks internally that the window is somewhere else? I can provide some more technical details I found out how the vern desktop switching works, but that would be rather long so maybe is more suited for offline exchange.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I just downloaded + tried v3.60 and it all seemed ok to me. I'm running it on XP SP2. When I switch to a different desktop the program + taskbar button vanishes (as one would expect). When I switch back the button re-appears and the window (windows actually if you include the log one) are back on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, like always, I should have mentioned versions and systems ;-) I have the problem on Windows 2000 and XP. ImgBurn versions 1.3, 2.0, 2.1. My vern version, however, is an old one, 1.5. I never updated that to newer versions, because later ones all had various other problems of their own. I think this version is no longer available in public, at least not on the author's website. I have still the original of this and a few more program generations here, so I think I'll make some more tests with the various versions now and come back later when I find something interesting (or when I find nothing new ;-) CU, CarlosM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I finally made a update now to the latest vern version and will see if this has fewer problems than the intermediate ones which I had skipped. Btw, if you have some spare time to try out the problem case with the older vern versions, contrary to my first assumption they are all still available in the vern website downlaod area.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Borland applications (which is what ImgBurn is) are a bit weird in the way they work. I guess the newer version of vern worked around this fact. So basically, it was for them to fix and not something I could do even if I wanted to. So long as it's ok with the current version (which it is) it's not really of any interest to me - sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosM Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 So long as it's ok with the current version (which it is) it's not really of any interest to me - sorry! OK, I understand that ;-) Unfortunately for me the vern saga has not yet ended. Now I have other programs which have problems with the new vern (Firefox, Powerpost). So I still have the job ahead to find a version which works equally well with my personal application mix. But at least I think this week I finally can really start using the ImgBurn in production ;-) CU, CarlosM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
