SUMo : Keep your software up to date

[Kyle_Katarn]

Perfect, thanks for your confirmation.
Should you have other suggestion, please feel free to ask !

[Romagnolo1973]

IMHO Sumo is the best portable program I use, so is quite perfect and if there are little problems you solve quickly, so it improve every day.

If I can tel just a suggest:
in older version if new sumo was released there was a prompt in every other programs you try update (browser windows) and simply cliccking on the Sumo advise you was redirect to sumo's download page, 2 click and you heve sumo in your pc.
Now in the same situation (sumo new version detected) you only see this in the main windows and have to search sumo site on google, it's just a little less immediate, I prefered the older way (sumo alert on main windows + sumo alert in every browser page of other programs you r tryin' update and in this case direct link to sumo download)

Well I hope you understand, even if is complicated to me explain this in english, this IMHO usefull feature is missed since last month o two

[Kyle_Katarn]

Thank you for your feedback !

This is an undetected "regression" (bug...). Thanks for reporting, i was not aware that it was no longer working... i'll fix asap !

[Romagnolo1973]

ahhh I thought was a design choice
Thanks for you help, have a developer able to hear user suggest (or explain why he can't, in case is not possible) is the base for a great program IMHO

You, Joe in Prevx thread (now WSA) and Erik Loman for HitmanPro have this great attitude missed in other IT company

[Kyle_Katarn]

Thank you so much for these positive comments

Concerning the reported bug, i'll try to work on this today. I'll post here as soon as i get it to work (I had to delay i little bit because the MySQL table were found corrupted this morning causing a few hours SUMo service interruption (no results & poor overall performances))

[Kyle_Katarn]

Fixed !

This version is totally bugged for me. The GUI doesn't respond after a second launch. The scan ends showing 0 programs.

Using the portable zip, already tried cleaning every trace of SUMo. Already tried running it with elevated privileges as well.

[Kyle_Katarn]

Another user has reported similar issue. I'll work on this asap. Ut i need to habe more details since i can't reproduce this bug here. May i have a description of what you get and associated SUMo log file ?

Now I decided to try the installed version (non-portable).

Again, the scan ends showing 0 programs despite detecting multiple programs during its progress.

What's the "associated SUMo log file"?

I'm posting what I see when I open the SUMo.log located at C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\KC Softwares\SUMo

[Kyle_Katarn]

That's the log file. I start investigating. Is this your bug : http://www.kcsoftwares.com/bugs/view.php?id=1552

I didn't fill any bug report besides what I posted here.

[Kyle_Katarn]

No, this one has been filled by another user... but is this the same symptoms ?

My bug is different. When I try the scan, it ends showing 0 programs despite detecting multiple programs during its progress. If I close SUMo and then open it again, the GUI gets unresponsive for some seconds. In short, I can't get SUMo to detect any of my programs. The scan feature seems to be broken.

[Kyle_Katarn]

OK, then please run a scan and after its end, post the log (accessible thru ?->Open log menu item)

Done. Please, check your PM inbox.

[Kyle_Katarn]

Replied
Thanks

For those who want to give it a try : v3.1.1 beta : http://www.kcsoftwares.com/beta/sumo_beta.exe

[Kyle_Katarn]

SUMo v3.1.156 released (because of major "freeze" bug of v3.1 to be fixed asap)

The "0 loading" issue will be fixed in v3.1.2 (comnig soon too !)

"0 loading" bug : http://www.kcsoftwares.com/bugs/view.php?id=1562

guest : My mistake : file in cause is Start.exe (see more : http://www.kcsoftwares.com/bugs/view.php?id=1562).

May i have it zipped for analysis please ?

Start.exe comes with PA.com Platform: PortableApps.com Platform Setup

Anyways, I zipped Start.exe and uploaded it. Check your PM inbox for the link.

As a side, I don't know why recent versions of SUMo started to automatically detect PA.com software. PA.com Platform already updates all of them... and if one wanted SUMo to scan PA.com software, he could simply point SUMo to the relevant folder.

Edited: and the link http://www.kcsoftwares.com/bugs/view.php?id=1562 seems to be down.

[Kyle_Katarn]

Hello,

I confirm that root cause is start.exe, causing loading thread to fail.
This will be fixed before end of next week end

Thanks !

[Kyle_Katarn]

Fixed in SUMo v3.1.2 !
