Thanks, I may have found the problem and am just doing some quick tests to make sure it works

 

[sandeep]

OK I may have fixed it, can you please re-download it, make sure you have got your browser cache cleared so you get the current version and give it a try. It should work.

 

[Kari]

Sorry to tell you but it crashed.

[Kari]

np, glad I finally got it to work, I was literally moving windows, compiling the program and upload at the fastest I could haha.

The problem was with the config file. atm there is still a problem but I'll be releasing a fix in the next 10 minutes.

So if you uninstall your current one and install the one online that'll be there in 10 mins everything should be fine.

 

[sandeep]

OK all hiccups have been fixed I hope, still need more testers.
I've also released Portable Versions of the Shutdown Timer, so you can stick it on a USB or U3 Capable device.

Yep you see it right, I've completed the sidebar gadget, and it's 100% working.
I hope you all like it and please donate to help the project, I have to pay server fees as well.

Feedback would be great on it.

we set it up simple parameters to restart as a practice run for shutdown and it just did nothing but sit there with the busy spin saying working , nothing more

the patience level of a 15yr old meant we went for option B after 2 tries in 10 mins so not exactly persevered, but i have to be honest it was far too complex , i love the simplicity of the gadget version

I see what you mean, it's not working for me either, I swear I checked it out and it was working before.

Well back to Visual Studio to fix it.

Issue should be fixed, give the installer a try again and let me know how it turns out.

Congratulations for the new Developer badge!

Oo yes gratz on the new badge

I can't get my daughter to try your newly fixed full version as she insists the gadget is perfect , well actually she describes it as "posh"

I think the gadget would be a perfect tool if there was a hibernate and or sleep option , but tbh it's gr8 as it is and it's beauty is in its simplicity

Thanks, I didn't realise I got that badge, wow haha

haha "Posh" I'd like to know how she came to that conclusion

The gadget does still lack some functionality, such as forced shutdowns so if she does have some apps running and they stop the shutdown process then I guess the system won't shutdown, this will be released once I get another version up and running.

It isn't really possible to put hibernate and sleep, I think the suspend option will serve well for this use though. The real version does have hibernate and standby (sleep) but obviously if she's happy then it's all good.

And thanks for the donation if it was from you, I'm taking the guess since the person who donated was from Weston super mare

Ile try suspend but using shutdown it closes spotify and msn ok

yup a well deserved but small sum as they don't pay us much in weston
