ANYONE TRIED Snoopsoft's Dashboard 2.6..
I had Dashboard 2.5 installed and it seemed to be working just fine and they brought out version 2.6 recently. It's supposed to work better with WM2003SE so I upgraded to 2.6 right away and am not dissapointed tho I liked 2.5 too. Of all the programs out there that work as launchers and integrate with the today screen, this one is TOP. IMHO.

I'm using it on my HX2750 and am well pleased.

FWIW

Thanks for the update.

I'm downloading it from the Order Lookup Page.

Hopefully I will get it installed in an hour's time.

Hope it all worked out. HEADS-UP-- Version 2.701 is now out and reportedly corrects a known issue and adds code to make it WM 2005 ready.

PLEASE BEWARE!!!!! Version 2.7.xxx has some BIG issues right now! Most of the user talk on the Snoopsoft web forums as the users reverting back toversion 2.6 after hung systems, incompatability with other apps and hard resets. Looks like too much of a hurry to get going on the WM5 bandwgon. You can follow the action over on

SORRY

Take Care.

Hi billpool, i'm on version 2.7.xxx now and all seems fine. Seems zippier.

There is one fatal bug which will make you hard reset your ppc. Its already there in version 2.6. Do not use the option to set the skins directory to card. After a soft-reset, ppc will not load up, you have to hard reset - that's the only way.

other then that - i love dashboard!

Problem with 2.701 is when accessing a program from the launch windows seems that the software is now also activating a copy of file explorer.exe. Why? Is something set incorrectly? It's disconcerting to have to exit 2 programs for every one I activate, that being the program activated and then file explorer.

I've seen some other happenings with 2.7 and others have reported stuff too. To find out more, suggest you go to the URL I posted earlier. Other than that I also "love dashboard", one of the best desktops for the PPC that I've seen.

Hi Again,

Just an note, on the Snoopsoft forum (url on an earlier messaage of mine), Chris, is soliciting private emails from those who are having problems with setting skins libraries to CF card. You may wanna take him up on it. I plan to RSN.

I recently got a special .dll file for the program and did some testing to include forcing dashboard to look on the CF for its' skin and couldn't get a hang after performing a soft reset.

We should be seeing the fix RSN I hope.

Despite 2.7's issues I still feel that Dashboard is the best Bar None. IMHO

Just got this in the mail from Chris Scott:

Version 2.7.15 is now out on the order lookup page. It addresses the lockups (at least for everyone who worked with me over the past few weeks on it) and also fixes the Explorer launching every time you run something from the launcher. It also hopefully allows for Folder shortcuts now in the launcher which was a requested feature.

Thanks for all the help on the bugs and hopefully this version will be more solid.

>>I haven't installed mine but have it downloaded and ready.

HTH
