Can someone test a program for me?

Sun May 23, 2004 7:59 am by TheJkWhoSaysNi

Quite a while ago I started working on a program to view ini files because I diddnt like the way BiniQDU left .txt files and copies of bini.exe everywhere. I've been using it myself and recently updated it to make it more stable (It had several major flaws before.)

However, I just sent it to my friend and he gets an error when it runs. Can someone please tell me if this runs for them? Also, if it wokrs.

NOTE: Do not save anything. I am part way through re-writing the save code. I have disabled the save button but ctrl-s still works. I do not advise pressing it.

Also, Is it worth putting this on TLR when i've got it stable? There are already lots of ini editors out there.

Anyway, thanks to anyone who tests this and tells me if they can run the .exe without errors.

Dang, That's the error my friend was getting.

Strangley it works fine on both my computers. I'll have to try and figure out what's causing it.

Fixed it. Was a silly mistake. I set the default root of the file list to D:\Games\Freelancer which is where i have freelancer installed on both my PC's, which is why it worked on both my machines but not yours or my friends. Anyway i've updated the zip should work now, even if it's not finished.

Just dl'ed the new version -

Get error dlg telling me can't access directory when i dbl click on a directory node but the node opens fine anyway

Find function refuses to find anything after the first result and doesn't highlight what it did find.

How are you finding the FL directory? A check to registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\1.0\AppPath
will do the trick...

Yeah, that's how i'm getting the FL directory.

<pre><font size=1 face=Courier>reg := TRegistry.Create;
Reg.RootKey := HKey_Local_Machine;
If Reg.OpenKey('\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\1.0\', false) Then begin
FLPath := Reg.ReadString('AppPath');
end
//If the path cannot be found in the registry display an error.
Else
ShowMessage('ERROR: Freelancer Directory not found!');

ShellTreeView1.Root := FLPath + '\DATA'; </font></pre>

To be precise

the beauty of Delphi. Isn't there a problem with bini.exe and some files? mbases.ini as an example... Is this fixed now?
