DeskScapes 10.02 Manage folders & installation BUGS

DeskScapes 10.02 BUGS

1- If we install the program elsewhere then the default path, Deskscapes config GUI appears for a fraction of a second then disappears when called with desktop r-click | "Configure DeskScapes"...

2- DS does NOT manage folders well : When we add folders in the list, the right pane remains empty even the folder being full of .dream files and .jpg and .avi.

3- The 'Animated' folders (Downloaded and video) are empty. Where are they supposed to point to ? Same question for the 'Stills' folders.

The only way to add and access the wallpapers are via the upper left 'Recent' link !

Best regards

BTW... why perform a "purge"... and not just simply perform an uninstallation then reinstall ?

Because some uninstallers do not quite get everything.

Did the purge, rebooted and reinstalled and... same issue

I reinstalled with all default options and haven't changed any configurations besides adding folders with Manage Folders.

FYI : Deskscapes64.exe, DeskscapesConfig,exe (32) and DS10Srv.exe (32) are running.

I am running out of options for you to try, Stargate....

What is the full path to your added folder?

What if you remove the one with special characters in the folder name, the second one? Then close and reopen the UI - does the other 'Dream' one, when clicked, show the dreams that are there?

If you are asking for the source, I am afraid that is not possible...

Not asking... I'll use a debugger like Aida or another. But if I knew in what language it was created, maybe (don't know) it could be decompiles in the proper source code instead of assembler.

It's been an eternity I haven't decompiled a program so... I'm crossing my fingers...

I do trust that the possibility that it's some setting - 3rd party app - on your PC is the cause, yes?
