Thread: resuming from hibernation in test mode, the Testmode confirmation dialog - 1.0.9.8

Is there a way to make it where the window is automatically selected when resuming from hibernation so that we only have to click it once? It's quite annoying. I don't even really understand why there has to be a warning at all when resuming from hibernation because when the program first starts you see the dialog and have to acknowledge it. That itself should be enough to take liability away from the SD developers. Not to mention that to run it in testmode you have to add the testmode parameter to the shortcut, so obviously the user had to know he was doing that. I don't see how it popping up after every hibernate helps take anymore safety liability away from the developers.

Likewise i get this warning several times after a resume. Ive taken to closing SD and letting the laptop hibernate itself. That way when i restart and select SD i only have to cancel the warning once!

I think I am going to try to find some mouse simulator software that can simulate clicking the dialog twice after resume to fix this problem for me. Ill let you guys know if i figure anything out

I am unable to recreate the issue of fading to black on my testing system. I will test on my car and laptop and report back. Until then if you could make a video, submit the logs or screen shots to show the issue that would be great.

Alright, well I made myself a fix for this, figured i would share it just in case someone else wants it..

Basically i just made a little program that, when ran, will click the mouse twice in the area of the screen where the "yes" button is for the testmode confirmation dialog on resume from hibernation. This ones i made only works with 800x600 and 800x480 screen resolution.. i could easily make it work with others.

To make it work you need 2 things.
1. My Program
-----> 800x600 http://www.minitruckinguy.com/testmodebypass.exe
-----> 800x480 http://www.minitruckinguy.com/testmodebypass800x480.exe
2. Hibernate Trigger http://www.rpi.edu/~desimn/suspendtrigger/

Just use hibernate trigger to run my .exe program each time the computer resumes and all should work out well. At least it does for me! Although, it did take a little playing with to get hibernatetrigger to work right for me.

note: If they fix the bug where it requires us to click once, i will modify the program so it only clicks once instead of twice, that way we can still use it :-)

(BTW: I assume no responsibility for how you use this information / program or the outcome. Use at your own risk!)

I am still trying to get the screen to go blank before I hit yes. Is there any thing else you are using that could cause this?
