The Pub / Re: Separating wma and wmv formats

If you look closely-- the MP3 player has a large area as well, being mainly used to show the icon and a spectrum analyzer ;)

Features: Forward thinking / Re: Removing deprecated code

Okay, so now that we've established everyone here is running at least 5.2.x, we can safely require 5.2. It's better than nothing!
As to the minimum minor version... What should it be? XenForo is 5.2.4. I considered it bold last year, but six months later I just see it as normal ;) I don't have the time to go through the PHP 5.2.x changelog and see whether some interesting bug fixes were applied later in the process.

I don't get it -- how to recover a gibberish file... I don't see why this kind of recovery program has to suck that much in the UI department. Seriously, it's like the guy's having fun with our brains... (He's French, apparently. No wonder.)
Anyway...
I've only got this machine for a few days, and already I'm wondering whether I should be reinstalling everything again. Since I didn't get to install the OS by myself... It's just weird. In some areas, the machine is lightning fast as expected (the framerate for Fable III and Venetica is, like, 4 times faster.) In other areas... Uh???
Whenever I install a new program, it will spend literally *minutes* (the bigger the program, the longer) in the initial install phase (sometimes it says "gathering size data" or something, sometimes it just says "installing"), and then it'll install programs at light speed. But overall, it's like, twice slower to install than on my previous PC because of the initial startup delay... Uh.
I get crashes in Chrome. Yes, in Chrome. Global program crash, not just a single tab... Fun. I installed the dev channel version, so far it's more stable.
Opera uses its single thread at 100% CPU time. Resulting in a constant 13% CPU use (that's 1/8th of my CPU, since I have 4 cores + hyperthreading). Obviously it doesn't slow down the machine, but Opera itself is slower than on my XP... Ah ah. And when I restart Opera and wait for 10 minutes (it never reaches 100% use before a couple of hours, indicating a memory leak or something), scrolling is slow.
:edit: Oops, strike that. I'm using KatMouse to emulate the mouse wheel behavior in the Windows Explorer, and apparently it introduced a delay when scrolling the wheel. I just restarted KatMouse and it no longer does this... Add this to the LONG list of little oddities I found in Windows 7.
Generally, I find this Win7 to be LESS stable than my Windows XP... Which I installed in 2005, and never reinstalled -- so it was very slow because the registry was cluttered with unused data and all, but it wasn't... glitchy per se.
Other than that, it's great to have 8GB of ram... Being able to run my Opera (200 tabs), Chrome (50 tabs), Firefox (50 tabs) together without a single slowdown is just.. Wow!
:edit: KatMouse does its delay trick again after just a few seconds... Blah! I'll just need to look again for a similar program that dispatches mouse wheel actions to the window behind the mouse cursor... AlwaysMouseWheel just stops doing its magic after minutes, KatMouse does it but it adds this glitch... Uh.
Oh, and does anyone know a way to prevent Win7 from NOT saving data when a program is not run in Administrator mode? Or at least a way to run all programs in Admin mode automatically? Or at the very least, a way for Win7 to actually tell me it won't save the data I just wanted to save? There's nothing more frustration than realizing nothing was saved when I didn't get any error messages...

rev 807
(3 files +1-1, 10kb)
* Renamed media/generic_images to media/icons. Makes more sense... (media/icons)
- Cleaned up the Aeva installer, got rid of all compatibility code (SMF 1, non-MySQL, SMG...), in order to make it easier to merge into the main Wedge installer later. (db_aeva.php, install.sql)
@ Note to Thorsten: obviously, the importer will need to re-use code that I just deleted from the Aeva installer. I think you have the file...

rev 806 - the "hard drive & PC loss aftermath" commit (i.e. I actually re-used the installer for the first time this year...)
(7 files, 8kb)
! 'Last modified' in topic pages should use the on_* time format. (Display.php)
! Styling generation failed during install because the folder variable wasn't set. (install.php)
! Runtime error due to outdated insert_id call. (db_aeva.php)
! jQuery 1.6 was used in hardcoded areas, instead of the official Wedge version (1.5.2). (upgrade.php, install.php, repair_settings.php)
- Removed last remains of the SMF stats setting in the installer. (install.php)
* Strange '/' thing in the installer can be confusing. Replacing it with the word 'slash'. (Install.language.php)

The Pub / Re: Why wedge?

That's what I said. They weren't interested in forking smf. Neither Wedge nor their own thing. I was disappointed, too.
