OK ... let me try to catch up on all the posts i had answered (but not answered), and i will add anything that needs to be added to my todo list.
to answer questions about contributors, i have had several people contribute code over time, but a have been the coordinator and main contributor to this project.
this project has been running for a long time, and has progressed slowly to where it is now (had a few bursts of activity, but it takes time for people to find and submit bugs, and time for me and others to find and fix them)
the reason i believe that chunkvnc has generated so much interest and in turn its own subforum is:
- 1) its simplicity of use (although it is somewhat complex to setup)
2) its multi-platform nature (mac OSX support)
3) its rapid development and passionate support
Supercoe does a great job supporting and promoting his and other projects as well as uvnc as a whole (he suggests scprompt just as often as chuckvnc - from what i have seen) he has and is putting a lot of effort into several things that will show how much he deserves to have moderator status, and i already have a forum setup where people can ask question.

I don't have windows 7 ... but i will be getting a copy shortly which will allow me to setup a test machine to work with, and test and fix any problems as they are found.

I will look into this, as i have never had to get the source from these apps, as i already have it.

If you have suggestions as how i can make the service connections work better, or what happens when you try to use the service mode ... this would be good, as i have had very little feedback on the service mode side of the app since it was added ...
faba wrote:I had a similar bug (displaying special characters) and it could be fixed through saving the language file with Notepad and ANSI encoding instead of UTF-8.
this is a strange one ... without knowing what i am looking at, i don't know if i am seeing the right or wrong simbols ... can you give me exactly which characters aren't being displayed correctly, and what languages they are, so that i can test, and get a solution (or ask on the autoit forums), and get it sorted for good.
faba wrote:If I close SCPrompt with service mode I get every time a message if I want to delete all files which is not recommend. Could this be changed? I mean it doesn't look professional and if I remember it right it wasn't translated.
the prompt is on a timeout (cannot remember how long), and was obviously missed on the translation front ... i can add it to the language file, so you can ask whatever you want ... i will consider removing it in the future, but for now, translation is easy
faba wrote:Another thing is if I use the -c parameter Scprompt connects without asking but it beeps some seconds before it starts. Could there be a less annoying warning like a bubble message that Scpropmt connects in x seconds to this IP/domain or something like that? I mean the beeping really sounds like an error.
it was designed to draw maximum attention to the fact that an automatic connection is being established. i didn't want it to go unnoticed ... but perhaps a more discrete way of doing this can be accomplished ... i will look into this ...
