As a developer like yourself, I don't like negative comments form users, but they are one who use your app.

I've been on these forums for quite a long time, listening and adding support for just about everything requested...

constant negative criticism is not necessary and it's counter productive to state the obvious and re-post the changes you don't like over and over.. they have been noted...

Hi all!

A good release david, things are coming along! Shame about the bugs but I don't think that was the point of this release. The feature set looks great so I look forward to the bug fixes! keep up the good work!

Thought I'd add that exactly the same problem described in this thread is occurring with Map Monkey and FreeDrive when trying to embed them. I know they're destinator in various forms, but you don't have speed camera support yet

Go download a copy and you should get the same results.

Also along the same lines I think theres a bug somewhere to do with the resizing algorithm when dealing with Map Monkey/Freedrive/iGuidance. My resolution is 800x600 so the skin is resized from the default 848x480. When embedding any of the above 3 GPS programs as external apps around 30 pixels worth of the program is chopped off the bottom when in fullscreen mode. This occurred in 1.5 as well as this release of 1.6 (along with the above issue too)

Hopefully you can replicate the above situation and find a fix. Good luck in squashing the bugs!

Well, I am not going to take that comment personal. I might be repeptitive, and I might sound negative, but the 'free time I have on my hands' has been spent TRYING YOUR PRODUCT, and also attempting communicate to you how I think CentraFuse would succeed.

Do you seriously think I would waste a minute of my time testing CF, and posting my thoughts, if I did not genuinely care about the future of the app? It is just not my style to spend time detailing all the good stuff about CF (which accounts for 80% of the app). I concentrate on the areas that I think can/should be improved. Sorry my comments are getting repeptitive and negative.

Seems like you too are conentrating on the 'bad'... I want to believe I have done far more good towards the adoption of CF in this community than the 'negative' image that you noted. Numerous examples to be noted, but I am not going to rub them in anyone's face.

I really want CF to be the best it can be. I agree I might not be doing the best job at it.

I appreciate all your help testing and I have noted all the points you have made, and some are valid, but all noted to check into...

again thanks for all the help testing and all your bugs have been noted and your opinions taken into considerations, as always...

Just Kidding!

Would it be illegal to download a copy for testing purposes?

Pirating sucks but this is for a good cause ... I wonder why it wont repro with other apps.. hmm.

I purchased a copy about 1.5 years ago... I just reformatted since then and have to find it.. It seems like embedding any GPS program is breaking, so I should be able to reproduce the problem...

Someone try to lauch Centrafuse without any music playing and go straight to loading IG... See if this works...

I was able to reproduce the problem with notepad, but only when music was playing... I want to see if it's the same with IG...

Or does it embed properly, but when you click it it loses focus and goes to the main page, but when you click to reload it, it shows back up embedded properly, but again lose focus when you click anything?

narodk · 03-08-2006, 01:13 AM

yes that is exactly what it does. it does embed but it loses focus when you click on it. then you click nav the click on something on iguidance and it loses focus again.
