  1. Something you might do is try to compare the lumens that each light outputs, supposing that information is put in the description of the light. I know the LED lights sold at Wal-mart have that feature and I can use that to purchase the brightest light at the cheapest cost.

  2. Maybe you should release "stable" beta builds. (Yes I realize that is an oxymoron.) Essentially Legolash2o, you work on whatever it is you need to change (in small increments), then release that as the next beta build. If people report issues, keep working on that section until it works like you want it. Personally, I think you are doing a great job, so however you really want to do it will always be your choice.

  3. Great! And thanks crashfly for listing them, as I wasn't around to yesterday.

    Most of us try to help around here. Don't worry about it. When Legolash2o asks for some information next time, if I am not around I am sure there are other people who would be glad to provide the info. Most everyone likes WinToolKit as it is being actively developed. I am glad Legolash2o keeps up the great work. :prop:

  5. Known Bugs / Need Further Information

    • 'Collection is read only.' in All-In-One Integrator

    This "bug" sounds like someone selected a directory on a DVD or a location that did not have write permissions (possibly network). But that is just my 2 cents.

  6. You know, this reminds me of the problems when Windows 95, Windows ME, and Vista got released. What is it with MS? Do they intentionally screw things up every other OS they put out? For that piece of mind, I will not be upgrading to Windows 8. Hopefully by the time Windows 9 comes around, Linux will be the OS of choice.

  7. My MediaFire source/link may have to go, as each time i log on i keep getting some sort of DCMA copyright notification because someone is reporting my files as copyrighted/stolen despite the fact that i own them :/

    Actually, that is probably more the "automated" bots that search peoples upload files to automatically ban stuff. It is very common these days as the "copyright trolls" have taken over. It is likely related to the name you have that is triggering it. Conversing with MediaFire will probably be pointless as "big content" usually wins (and they likely do not care anyway).

  8. On December 11, 2011, I posted Version 5.3.7.6 onto the website. Today, I finally got around to editing the first post to reflect this change.

    Wow .... I have been running a few versions behind. (v5.3.7.2) Still love the program though. I include DSI will all of my builds. Thank you for creating a great program dougiefresh.

  9. I think crashfly meant that KUC identifies more updates (357) than Win Toolkit (127), for the reason that crashfly explained, and laddanator's experience bears that out.

    Yes, I read incorrectly. I have corrected it in my original post.

    What needs to be taken away from this is you would only have to download what updates were not included. For many people, it may not matter that there are 300+ updates installed, as long as WindowsUpdate does not complain. If you are a "completest", by all means, use the more complete updates. If you want just the "majority" to get it done, go with 127. In part, I would be in the first group, but then I do not want to waste the time when the second group will 'get it done' for me.

  10. The reason why KUC has so many more updates is that all updates are included even if your computer may not need it in its current form. For instance, there are twelve updates for IIS. By default, that does not come installed on most systems. Only if you *specifically* select it to install will you get IIS. KUC includes *all* updates regardless of the option is installed. If you had no options installed (you removed all) before going to windows update, then you would get less updates with all options installed from a freshly installed non-updated source. Likely, those updates also have the non-common updates you would not normally get unless you had a certain problem.

  11. It's fine for Win Toolkit to make the determination of where it thinks is the best place, but please then have a box pop up and tell the user where that place is and give them an option to either approve the selection, override the selection with their own choice, or maybe even cancel the whole thing.

    Cheers and Regards

    I agree. The default initial selection is just fine, but give us a chance to change it. I have previously set aside a whole partition for just temporary files, but the partition is not the largest out of them all.

  12. ... except I want it to install my 2500+ .ttf files into the Windows/Fonts folder.

    While having WinToolkit do this is not a bad idea for something like just a *few* fonts, however that many should be put into a switchless installer. The installer will be compressed, so they save space. Plus, you can install on any computer you want.

  13. Why don't you take a trip from Arkansas and help us all :g:

    Uhmmm ... probably not. ;)

    However, I can give long distance advice. If you are not going to use it in a year (or have not used it for more than a year), get rid of it. The point of that is "if you are not going to use it, why have it?".

    Seriously, one year and you have not unpacked/cleaned up/cleaned out, you are pushing it on being a hoarder. Five years .... you went too far, you *are* a hoarder. Twelve years .... you surpassed the limit and just need to have a house fire. *BAM* problem solved.
