Re: New Firefly Sofware (works also for Streamzap)

Hello,
Quote:
On a fresh XP install, can I install your software by itself and have full functionality (not installing FF+BMB)?
You'll need the Firefly drivers (it is linked on my site), basically it is the X10 driver which is a COM server.

Your app works with a global profile and app specific profiles, correct? Can you elaborate on how this works? Same as the FF software or more flexible? Could it send control a single app even when that app is in the background and ignore all other apps/windows.
Yes there is a default profile and applications profiles. By default a profile is selected based on the active window (search by title or class name), or you can force a profile (when a profile is forced it can bring its corresponding window to foreground). For working with an application in the background, you will need to force a profile, and use in this profile the FindWindow and SendMessage action : for finding the window that is your background application and then sending message to it.

What language is your app written in? How much RAM does it use?
This is a .Net (C#) application and memory usage is up to what .Net decides, but typically 4 MB are used for default features (that is responding to remote events), if you use Osd features expect 9 - 10MB.
Quote:
Can it run as a service? Does it work with non-Admin/non-Power User user accounts (FF does this 99%).
It doesn't run as a service and it should work with non admin account (though I have not checked this yet but all my other application does work so...)

Regards,
Stéphane.
