BchunkerFE V .3.4 Bug List 

If 1 or more queue entries are created and then a bin file is dropped.  If you then delete the bin from a previous completed queue entry, and drop another bin file, the logic will fail and the queue will not recover.

BchunkerFE .3.4 has been released with new features and bug fixes.  Enjoy!!

 

5/27/2008

While going over my program, updating it for the next release, I found a somewhat serious bug.  The bug is not from my code, but rather a long standing bug in the programming language.  You may or may not have seen it.  The bug can occur when the settings window is open or not.  The window will erratically change size, either making it too big or so small that you can not select the options.  I have redesign that part of the interface and will be releasing a bug fix release soon.  A few other bugs were also fix, for ex. the cancel button only canceled the current conversion and not the entire conversion process.

I have found a new job so my time for coding has been significantly reduced.  I have however finished Version .3.0 and posted it to the left.  As always enjoy.

The program itself appears to be bug free and working as I want it to.  I will be posting the new version in the next few days when the documentation is complete.  Unfortunately because of the design the documentation will be a bit larger than the previous versions.

After a long look at BchunkerFE V .2.0 I have decided to scrap this version and rewrite much of the code from scratch.  The basic design of the interface was not the direction I wanted to go.  The batch queue system that was used in V .2.0 and lower was limited more than I liked.  As a result I have been rewriting much of the code including the batch processing and redesigned the interface significantly. 90% of V .3.0 has been completed and I am currently squashing bugs.  Screenshots will be posted as soon as I have more time.

I have been working on a new version, V .2.0, with a redesigned interface and some new features.  Some screenshots are posted to left if you are interested in the new interface.  As you will see, it takes pieces from V .1.7, and adds some new ideas into the mix.

A new version of BchunkerFE has been released, V.1.7.  Here are the updates to the new version:

Call to the community 

I am curious what platforms BchunkerFE works on other than Leopard (10.5).  I would appreciate it if people with 10.2 -10.4, both PowerPC and Intel,  would e-mail me at my address to the left and let me know if it works.  As stated above I only have 10.5 and can not test it on other platforms.  Your responses are greatly appreciated.

I would also like to here from you, the community, letting me know how you like the software.  The two main repositories I have the software posted at and updated, Versiontracker.com and Macupdate.com, do not have any feedback.
