Disadvantage is then: i have to check daily if a new version (new thread) exit.

Still i follow automatically - every new entree gives me a message

Write a mail rule to put all the Slice Master in the message to a separate folder. 
I do this for for topics I'm interested in and some of the  the trolls

With version .18 I get a badly mangled launch screen on my PC with OS Windows 7 64bit HE.(see attached screenshot). Version .17 was ok.

When I started version .19 on my Windows 10 notebook, it also was ok.
Seems to be a Windows 7 problem ?

Font or screen size problem!

I did not have that problem up to version .17and I have never seen this with any
of the other programs. Furthermore this problem concerns only the "launch" tab,
not the other ones in .18

The bad rendering is one thing, but having just a "D" slice shows an earlier problem. There's probably an error message hiding in the status line that will offer a clue. If you could pack up all the log and config files from C:UsersAppDataLocalK1DBOslice-master (leave out CwSkimmer.*) into a .zip and email it to me, it would help me identify the issue.

Don,  I have same issue. 

You have my email if you want to work through this.

Is there any way to save one's "Launch" settings?  I have to go through the launch settings everytime when starting SliceMaster to change from Never to when active to get the appropriate program to launch.  Thanks, Jim - W5AP

Hi Jim,

The launch settings are being saved. 

However, if a launched program dies an unexpected death, Slice Master will change the launch setting to Never.  If you manually close an application (by hitting its 'X' button or selecting 'Exit' from its menu) Slice Master considers that an unexpected death. 

My guess is that you are manually shutting down the application.  If not, please tell me a bit more about which application Slice Master is launching for you and how it is being shutdown.

Thanks.

What is the proper way to close SliceMaster? The way that keeps the settings... Would be good to have one. I would like to set and forget. I am using batch script to load the dozen of apps after reboot and would like the settings to be kept. Any way to do this Don? 73, Andy KU7T

Andy,

The proper way to close Slice Master is to use its 'X' button.  If you do, any application that it launched will be closed too.  When you start it back up, (assuming the state of SSDR hasnt changed) everything that was running at shutdown will start back up again.

Note however, that settings from the Sync tab are not saved.  This was a design decision.  I thought it might be disorientating to have once slice start magically following another on start up.  I'd consider adding an option to the setup page to control this though, if those are the settings you are asking about.
