Application built auto-updaters should use relative paths. PSUCalc's updater is entirely based around relative directories.
We release two versions - one that's an installer and an archived one.

Some people do like them, I do like them. Only on newly released things like this other than that, not a big fan. Try to get a multi-link set up? thumb.gif

Time tracker for gamers...quite interesting, until date has been using Time Tracking Software for projects. This clearly points the importance of time tracking in real time be it for gamers or project leaders. redface.gif

Even though my program has HEAVY emphasis on tracking game time you can track any process as long as the time tracking is related to directly tracking a process time. I will be adding manual features shortly.

Just FYI I am pushing out 1.5.1 with some fixes and improvements that maybe should of been included in 1.5. After this I will start work on 1.6 with BIG changes coming to prepare Game Data for sending data to my webserver.

Released 1.6 mainly for making sure it's a stable application. All unhandled exceptions thrown will be caught and show a crash reporter, please send all reports and include the screenshot.

Also I am thinking about making the Last Played calculation do "1 Week Ago", etc. instead of "7 days ago", and so forth. What do you guys think is the best way to display dates that have happened one week or longer ago?

How's your crash reporter designed? The .NET framework is already much capable of generating the necessary information when an exception goes unhandled. Additionally it kills the application in place (well, you can continue from most exceptions, but not recommended). If you're not doing either of those things, I'd remove it.

If you're generating unhandled exceptions ... you should do one of:

1. Fix the code to not cause the exception.
2. Handle the exception and recover appropriately (if possible).

I didn't design it - https://crashreporterdotnet.codeplex.com/

BTW JIT isn't a crash reporter but more a debugger, it tells the current user the exception and stack trace but the user does nothing with it., and most of the time they hit continue. The crash reporter allows them to easily add a desc, even a screenshot, and send it.

To think you can forsee EVERY exception your application will have is foolish, especially while being heavily developed!

Ah right you're using that.
To be pedantic, the JIT is neither a crash reporter, nor a debugger - its a compiler tongue.gif

I've got projects fairly large in size and not a single exception goes unhandled on a stable build (either the exception isn't thrown full stop, or its one that can be handled). That's not because I can forsee exceptions that will go unhandled, its because I have a rigorous test suite that tests every portion of the application - unhandled exceptions are criteria for a test fail.

I just seem to think that these crash reporter things are a band-aid solution for poor development techniques. One should aim to reduce the number of exceptions to a number close to zero because exceptions hurt performance tremendously. So I guess what I am trying to say is that it is fine to use a crash reporter, but only after you've verified that you're not using it as your "test suite". Any exceptions after that will be truly exceptional and that's where the crash reporter makes sense and comes into play.

Anyway to answer your original question - I think it is much cleaner to show "1 week ago" rather than "7 days ago" smile.gif

Yea I don't have a "test suite" or ever used one. Have any free ones you can recommend?

With that aside when I do updates I do small amount of personal testing so the crash reporter is supposed to help me find mistakes that I didn't initially find sooner.

I use the one built in to Visual Studio, but sounds like you have an Express edition that doesn't have the test managers. I'll do some digging for you smile.gif
