Thanks for the new drop. Testing now.

Hi

Attached is Gotcha 2.0.1 RC 2. I have an RC 1 which I don't think I
released but... This release includes the following changes:
1. Uses unicode to list all the program languages correctly in their
own language.
2. Language is now set from the LANG environment variable unless it is
overridden. It can only be overridden in Gotcha as the language is no
longer selectible in Gotcha Quiet.
3. Help language is no longer separately selectible and is set based on
the program language.
4. Added Spanish translation from Alfredo.
5. Clean up of settings dialog and documentation.
6. Added some hard coded errors to the string table.
7. #ifdef out more code not used by Gotcha Quiet.
8. Add -i switch to Gotcha Quiet for use from RO media during AOS
install. It suppresses the ini error messages, sets the save directory
to z:\ and sets the file save type to numbered files (that are 8.3
format).

Give it a try. Hopefully, no (or at least not many new bugs). Thanks

Setting aside the expected requirement for pmprintf.dll in a test build

This should be gone.

:-)

Gotcha Quiet still seems to want to find *some* ini file, even if that
file is 0-length, otherwise it will throw an error for the missing
file.

If this still happens please provide the exact error message.

The INI-file ("gotchaq.ini") could not be opened! Defaults will be used.

Yes, this still happens with RC2, and it appears to be IDS_ERROR_INIFILENOTOPEN.

It also displays an opening splash when the error is dismissed,
requiring OK to proceed. Is this intentional?

No

The window displayed says:

Gotcha! Quiet Settings (titlebar)

It has the About information, no tabs, and OK, Undo, and Help buttons with the latter two greyed out.

Also, I am not getting any images saved to %MEMDRIVE% now, at all. Opening the settings with Alt-PrtSc, the Save directory is listed as:

Z/

which is probably the cause. Changing this, however, does not correct the behavior (likely because we can't write the INI file).

Now, is the save directory hardcoded to z:? This can't be. I would
suggest adding a parameter to specify the save directory. This way, we
could do something like:

\sys\apps\gotcha\gotchaq -i %MEMDRIVE%:\

I can do this but I now just get the MEMDRIVE env variable and use it. All saves to the root of the MEMDRIVE.

I forgot that we discussed this in AN ticket 1056. If you get the %MEMDRIVE% variable, you'll need to append the ":\" to it.

because we can't guarantee that Z: will always be the RAM disk (we fall
back from there if Z: is not available, but the variable will always
point to whatever letter was ultimately used).

Runtime Issues:

1. After a successful screen capture, Gotcha Quiet leaves the
previously-focused window in the background.

This should be fixed

Confirmed fixed.

This is problematic in that
it renders navigating the installer difficult to navigate, as it is
unclear to the user that the installer is in the background.

2. Upon my 2nd PrtSc press, Gotcha Quiet prompted me for a save
location. IOW:

This should also be fixed

Confirmed fixed.

ArcaOS installer started; I pressed PrtSc & heard the beeps
I returned focus to the installer and advanced to the license page;
I pressed PrtSc & heard the beeps - and was presented with a Save
screenshot to ... dialog, which defaulted to the Gotcha directory on the
ISO.

I went to System Management and restarted the installer.
I pressed PrtSc & heard the beeps (no prompt)
I returned focus to the installer and advanced to the license page;
I pressed PrtSc & heard the beeps - and was presented with a Save
screenshot to ... dialog, which defaulted to the Gotcha directory on the
ISO.

I went to System Management and deleted the saved pngs.
I pressed PrtSc & heard the beeps - and was presented with a Save
screenshot to ... dialog, which defaulted to the Gotcha directory on the
ISO.

Pressing Alt-PrtSc brought up the settings dialog. The Save page was set
to Prompt for filename. Perhaps we are reverting to default behavior
because the INI cannot be written.

Right now the save directory and the use of numbered save file can not be changed from the settings for installs. I can probably make them selectable if really needed.

Please try this with a Spanish installer and see if the language is set properly.

It seems to be, yes. That said, the first tab and page of the options dialog for gotchaq is blank. Ayuda does nothing (no help launched).
