1SCDLL updates

1) Password field need an extra border to make it clear it's part
of the connection part and not a password for secure saving the
viewer profile
2) Auto save profile when you create driver, this also avoid the password
issue
3) Replace close Info window by hide and added show in systray

Better Compression B&W and 256 color...
Compression:
RLE+ZLIB is between 100 and 33% of pure ZLIB size.
Anybody have an idea why RLE preprocessing gives that big difference
for the final ZLIB result.
8.000 --> 2.000 (RLE)--> 200(ZLIB)
8.000 -> 350(ZLIB)
200 <--> 350 In compression terms, the difference is BIG.

Viewer DLL is backward compatible, can be used with older server DLL's
New server DLL require new viewer DLL.

Hi Rudy,

I installed the above update for the server and viewer.
I notice the following:

1. Right click on icon in systray shows the new option "Show log", but when I click on this option, the log window doesn't show.
2. With this update I notice a lot of screen corruption. For example, when I read messages in Outlook 2003, the message text get corrupted, so I have to press the Refresh button a lot. So I went back to the previous version and the screen corruption has gone!

I hope you can solve these issues.

Thanks for this GREAT product. I have helped a lot of customers!

Best regards,

1. Right click on icon in systray shows the new option "Show log", but when I click on this option, the log window doesn't show.
The info window now has a hide button.
show log == show info
After you hide the info window, you can bring it back with the show..

Screen corruption:
Intel ipp zlib implementation keeps crashing, the streaming zlib was
added in 5.2 BETA. I will revert back to the opensource zlib until ipp zlib
implementation doesn't require a reset every x runs.
The previous version also had a screen corruption, but less frequent

I won't see any difference between previous and this new dll except:
- size is 200 kb less
- No more freeze when close the pchelpware info, good.

-- About
-- Show Log, should open the pchelpware info, but nothing happen
-- Exit

started with black and white without live change quality.
screen corruption are more frequent than before with Black & White with and without video hook driver2


Maybe you forgot to commit some change to your dll for the public ?
