dbminter Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 You must be crazy. Or we beta members are under a mass delusion that we've been beta testing 2.5.8.1 Beta, aka 2.5.9.0 when it's finally released, for the past 2 years. It fixes at least 2 bugs I know of: the USB 3.0 detected as USB 2.0 is now resolved and Windows 10 being detected as Windows 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWKJ Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Once again I don't mean to sound ignorant or rude in any way, but it sounds like bunch of empty words that have been just made up. 7 years....7 very very long years and just now you come up with this 2.5.8.1 beta and 2.5.9.0. by the time is in stable version! ..nahh On a personal level I think ImgBurn was and still might be the best CD/DVD/BD burning tool, even among high priced shareware that I own, but at this point and you can’t blame anyone for thinking that, nothing will convince any either prior or current ImgBurn user that this once great tool is now pretty much dead and the "supposedly beta" you showing its nothing...I would love to be proven wrong..heck..I would gladly pay again ($20, $50, $100) to see new ImgBurn comeback from grave yard after almost a decade Anyways I don't want to keep on badgering anyone, so I'm done. Thanks Edited July 26, 2020 by AWKJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3vr0n Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 @awkj the creator (lightning UK) hasn't come up with this beta just now, that's the whole point of these past few points. It's that random member that came up with that 'release', hell 2 can play that game. This isn't directed at you I can knock up 2.6.0.0 on about 5 seconds of I wanted too. Fire up 2.5.8.0, copy the first few lines from the log generated, paste them here in the reply box and change the version number and windows info. Done, a magical non-existing 2.6.0.0 just appeared out of thin air.While 8 years is indeed a very long time, as long as there's support, a product isn't dead. Now if support were to end too, that would change things a bit, but even then as long as it would still work I wouldn't be looking for replacement software.Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk I told myself I won’t respond to any more comments as I still stand by want I said ImgBurn is dead......this is my last post. What you saying its noting new and I believe you've said that in earlier respond to someone else (sorry If that wasn't you). You talking about support on here and that indicate that ImgBurn is not dead? You are kidding right. If you read my first post I said, this forum seem fake, not like it used to be several years ago, almost as if it’s not run by LIGHTNING UK!, Support on 7year old software that has bugs and they are simple bugs and he can't fix them? well....that is a good sign of dead....end of story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 What bugs are you referring to?I’m pretty sure I’d have fixed anything that was actually a bug at the time it was reported. Of course, me fixing them is very different to me fixing them AND releasing a version that includes those fixes.The version that I’ve very occasionally worked on over the last 7 years will eventually be released, of course it will, I just have a very bad habit of sitting on things. I honestly do keep thinking I need to get back to it and get it done. In all honesty, I think I went a year without even having the development environment on my machine. I probably installed it all again and got it to the stage where I can actually compile the code again about a month ago. That’s some serious progress right there! I have a no point said to myself that I’m done with ImgBurn. If I had, this forum wouldn’t be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3vr0n Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hey maybe with the corona quarantine you can polish the code a little and release it. Say, in a week? Would sure sir these guys up with 'this thing is dead', and it would sure make us non-whiners happy Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in my post above that I wouldn't comment again..although I didn't expect your response and I hope I'm not wrong by saying this…You almost sound like there is still hope for ImgBurn, but once again, thus far all that is, is just a bunch of words. I was going to give you a lengthily reason why LIGHTNING UK should keep ImgBurn alive, but I rather say just a few humble words. Among several multimedia software I own, ImgBurn have always been the burning tool of my chose, there was something very special about this truly swiftly tool that unfortunately I have abandoned few years ago due to lack of updates. Even things like I posted above when on several of my BenQ4 K monitor, ImgBurn log is separated from main window, unless I change the resolution which is cheap fix that could have been fixed long time ago, believe it or not, but those things do matter. Anyhow, even thou I have been using PowerISO, If ImgBurn reincarnated from death I would not hesitate to switch back and I’m not a cheap person by any stretch of imagination I will be more than happy to donate 100Euro as a token of appreciation, that's how much I still would like ImgBurn to be alive and I'm sure, I'm not the only one who feels that way. Anyways, I’m truly done dragging this subject. Thanks for now and let’s see what changes, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Ha! well, you learn something new every day. I don't even really remember seeing any mention of a log window snapping issue before. It would have been more useful to put that bug report in the bug reports forum (please excuse me if you'd also done that). I don't run mine snapped and so have never noticed it myself. It worked fine at the time of implementation, but I was probably running XP back then. I don't have a 4K monitor to do any testing of that issue on, but it just so happens it also occurs on mine. Maybe it's a Windows 10 thing? ImgBurn 2.5.8.0 predates Windows 10, so any abnormalities it caused obviously wouldn't have been resolved. I'm going to fire up good old C++ Builder 2007 now and see what's going on with it. EDIT: Update, it's due to the shadow around the windows being classed as part of the window. It won't snap nicely to the left/right/bottom of the screen either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Does this have anything to do with my recent post about how my log window doesn't remember its location when I change it? It always defaults back to a default location when I start ImgBurn again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWKJ Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) There is no way org. LIGHTNIG UK would let go this far, no freaking way. Even simple bugs as mismatch of windows ID in the log, let alone log and main ImgBurn window separation and he, LIGHTNING UK whomever that is, has no idea how to fix it or giving excuse of leaving thing on the back burner to sit?, you really had me going for a while and made me believe you were actually for real:) Phhh... You can say all you want, I still stand by my theory, this is fake website with someone else running it and I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows why people will do such thing. I really want it to donate big chunk of either $ or Euro and I mean 200-300 because I do care, but why, I’m still asking myself. Man, I’m DDD for even coming back here.

Ken852 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 OK... so... Bigfoot is real, Loch Ness monster is real, and Yeti is real? But ImgBurn.com is fake and "LIGHTNING UK!" is an impersonator?

dequadim Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 We have to consider ImgBurn as abandonware. The last update dates back to 2013, so it is useless to expect any news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbminter Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Any particular settings you can name off the top of your head? One of the betas addressed the window positions not being saved, but I think that was a bug introduced as a result of the first beta from this year and some arcane Windows issue.

Ch3vr0n Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 All of them, i had this issue in the past on win 10 where my settings didn't get stored properly in the registry (not using portable version), so i had to resort to exporting the IMGBURN registry branch. But new settings don't seem to 'stick'.Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Can't explain that one. Seems to be a Windows issue, beyond the scope of ImgBurn. I know I import a .REG file with all of my preferred ImgBurn settings when installing the software for the first time and any changes that get made afterwards are saved later.
