Great, I look forward to it. :) Thanks for the quick responses.

OK, thanks very much. Is there any plan to make it available for purchase separately (i.e. without having to buy Object Desktop)?

How do I purchase? in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Perhaps I am missing something but I've downloaded Deskscapes (the free version, I can't see any other) and I've downloaded another .dream from wincustomize. When I try to select that dream, I get a dialog that says I must upgrade from the free version to run additional dreams. There are two buttons "Buy now" and "Close" but only Close is enabled. How do I purchase the upgrade so I can run some of the other dreams?

Adam - maybe now a whole 2 independent sources have said it, that should be enough evidence for the conspiracy theorists!

Whoa! People! These arguments and the airing of political viewpoints and/or conspiracy theories may have its place but it ill behoves any of us to use an atrocity such as that perpetrated 5 years ago to try to make our own personal views known. I have very definite views about the motives of those in power and the reasons for the conflicts that America and we in the UK are currently embroiled around the world. Today is one day I would ca

I share the horror and revulsion at the acts of 9/11, as I do at all terrorist acts. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost family members, friends and loved ones. I do, however, worry when jingoism and narrow-minded bigotry interfere with common sense and understanding.

Thanks Cyberium - I feel truly ancient now ! drej16 - I've never used a language with numbered lines (except Sinclair ZX BASIC!) but numeric labels used to be de rigeur even in some Assemblers (BLZ 100), RPL (G100) and even in things like JCL. Never used COBOL, FORTRAN or LISP but from what I hear I had a lucky escape! Even the early BASICs I used insisted on numeric labels, though.

I have been a programmer for over 25years and the 100, 200, 300 convention is as old as subroutines! And I've had many occasions where it wasn't enough, in fact, we started using 1000,2000,3000 back in the '80s. Course nowadays most languages allow proper names for subs with colons on the end...

Great! Glad I could be of assistance. Look forward to seeing the fruits of your labours.

Reply to System.setwallpaper: Why is it copying my pictures? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

OK, I've had another look and have gone for the belt and braces approach. Try this: Sub Object_OnScriptEnter d= weekday(date) Select Case d Case 1 Call LSetWallpaper(Object.PersistStorage("picpath")) End Select End Sub Sub Object_OnDropFiles(files) Dim path path= Split(files, "|") newpath= LBound(path) newpath2= path(newpath) object.PersistStorage("picpa

Reply to System.setwallpaper: Why is it copying my pictures? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

OK, I think probably the best way to deal with this is to copy the file you want to set as wallpaper to the windows directory before you set it, overwriting it each time. Then you'll only ever have 2 copies (the jpg and the bmp). Something like this: Dim fso, sourcefile Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set windowspath = fso.GetSpecialFolder(0) Set sourcefile = fso.GetFile("picpath") sourcefi

Reply to System.setwallpaper: Why is it copying my pictures? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Sorry, basically what I'm saying is that Windows demands that the wallpaper is a bmp and that System.Setwallpaper would appear to do the copy from jpg to bmp so that it can apply it. Therefore you just have to live with the fact that all your jpgs will get copied to bmps. If you were using straight VB, you would need to do this yourself somehow but I'm guessing you're not as you say you're using System.Setwallpaper which is not a command in V

Ok, I don't know why it does it but it certainly does. I'm no expert but this is the result of a couple of tests. Can't do much more as I really should be working !!! This simple script (in a DesktopX Object) results in copies of the jpgs into bmps in the original directory. Dim fso, f, f1, fc, FName Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fso.GetFolder("C:\Wallpapers") Set fc =

Reply to System.setwallpaper: Why is it copying my pictures? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Interesting- I have a script running at work which changes the wallpaper automatically evry 10mins from a library of jpgs and it seems to copy them to bmps. I'm also running Active Desktop Calendar and thought it might have been something to do with that as it's a bit fussy about what it has as backgrounds so I haven't bothered investigating.....mmmm....I'll investigate further at work tomorrow...if I come up with anything I'll let you know....
