Alambic development forum

I fixed the problem by removing the Ling reference. I think Linq assembly has been introduced in .NET 3.5 not .NET 3.0. Moreover, if you use VS 2008 i think you might also use .NET 3.5.

Anyway, this problem is now fixed, and I integrated your work yesterday in Alambic. It is already quite good, but here is some points i think we should work on:

- please use the coding guidelines i defined here: http://alambic.eclyps.info/?q=node/10
- i think some redesign may be done in order to integrate some code in Alambic. Here is how i think it should be done,

the "connecting to host, downloading files..." steps may be done within the alambic.exe program. This way we'll be able to fully integrate into the existing window. Then if an update is found, and if the user wants to update, we start the update process, and donwload the new files in a temp folder. We can then launch the updatemanager.exe which checks if a temp folder exists, close the current alambic process and overwrite the exe file.

Please let me know if you think it's fine. One more thing, did you find out how to use SVN using the guide I wrote ? It would be nice if now all changes you make are commited on our trunk so that we can follow your development.

About the update process... I think we'll add in the next couple of weeks a "notify" feature in Alambic. Here is how it's planned to work. We would like to avoid opening a bunch of windows every time we need to ask something to the user, we would prefer to open a small panel somewhere inside alambic's main window (with some nice effects), and put the content inside this panel.

We can imagine to use this system for different things for example:
- when a folder is dropped on the playlist to ask weither import or not new files in the library
- when we reach the end of the playlist, to ask user what we should do
- and for the update process as well (something like: "information, a new update is available, would you like to update now ?"

One more thing, when I integrate your work in Alambic, I had to change the way to find the Alambic process. Now, instead of looking at process ID I look at the name of the process. I don't know why, but it wasn't working when i used process ID. You may check that also.

What feature are you talking about ? The notify system ?

Aren't you still also already working on the global hotkeys ?

My code of update manager needs in some remaking. I find more information about it. For example:
while downloading files user can see process percentage.

Yes i am working on global hotkeys(I have  problems, and now i am searching for some solutions)  be sure that i will finish  it;

Yes, it is simple. One more argument to update manager should be path to alambic.exe, when all files will be copyed from "temp" into alambic directory make

Process.Start(...\\alambic.exe);
