Brent,

Thanks for doing that, great idea! If Dave agrees to the redirect then
this is a big start in the right direction.

Hi Tom,
  
  
  I think the most pressing concern is that we seem to have lost
control of dqsd.net -- updates aren't bubbling through
as they should, and we don't know who has access to the host.
  
  
  - There is a wiki (now defunct, apparently, I can't get to the
pages) for developers at SourceForge. Would a user-facing wiki be
valuable?
  - Feature requests can be made at SourceForge. I agree it's not
as appealing as the link you posted.
  
  
  My life is busy with two small children, and I don't have all
that much time to develop DQSD, but I'd love to see it grow, too. :)
  
  
  If we could get the infrastructural problems sorted, maybe we
could kickstart development again, starting with a proper 4.1 release,
and then look into the various issues we have?

There are problems which need to be addressed, such as the load time

Some other ideas to continue the brainstorming:

 - add a proposed new feature
section (such as linking one "search" to different a browser, floating
toolbar, Logins with authentication code, etc) and let
people vote like on http://digsbies.org/site/wishlist

Lots of people out there work on open source software, dqsd needs more
exposure to get more users for that to happen. We can start that by
linking up the buzz we already have, e.g. adding links to posts such as

Hi,

Does anyone know who runs/has control over dqsd.net? Is the domain still 
David Bau's?

I am wondering as I would like to make a change on the 
http://www.dqsd.net/contrib/ since a domain of mine listed there has 
changed and will be expired in less than 30 days.

I am not a member of the -devel list so am just emailing this user list.

Maybe the access could be opened up and we could update the site?

Thanks, Tom.

I've copied Dave ( david@gmail.com ) on this.  I'm sure he'll be happy

Michael,

Checking back over the emails.  Did you confirm that we (you and I) are
using the same DQSD Win7 Theme pack developed my Matt?

In Windows 7 on the Personalization>Windows Color page do ANY of the color
or tint a or transparency settings have ANY effect on the
color/tint/transparency of the DQSD Search Bar?

I took a look at theme.css (Win7 version) and saw it uses 7toolbar1.bmp to
draw the backgrounds, and that turns out to be a  1-pixel wide column of
black pixels with a two-pixel decoration at the top. So I made one like it
using my toolbar blue. It looks almost perfect, except you'll note the light
top-shadow is one pixel thicker over the search bar than the rest of the
toolbar (fig. 1).  For some reason DQSD is putting two pixels of light blue
where the bmp only has one (fig. 2).

Anyway my original question remains... how does this work for anyone whose
toolbar isn't black to start?

Re: [DQSD-Users] dqsd.net webmaster?

[Brent Beardsley]

Hi all,

I think we should just have dqsd.sourceforge.net as the main page - we can see 
if Dave will redirect dqsd.net back to dqsd.sourceforge.net.  I changed the 
home page to dqsd.sourceforge.net, uploaded the files in dqsdweb to the htdocs 
for dqsd project and it seems to work.  Note, I have not tried every page and 
every link - also you'll have to clear your browser cache as the old index page 
on the dqsd htdocs site redirects to dqsd.net  

I can easily change it back to the way it was but that way wasn't working and I 
like the idea of having the dsqdweb files hosted on sourceforge so that all the 
admins can mess with it and avoid the problems we're currently experiencing.

Your thoughts? 

Brent

Re: [DQSD-Users] IMdB issue

[George Hitz]

    OK Kim,

    I did install the 4.1 beta and of course it works.
    The "notes" even mention "fixing" imdb or words
    to that effect.

    I always stayed away from v4.1 because it talked
    about 64b support but never mentioned continued
    32b support. I'm just naive enough think it takes two
    programs - one 32b, one 64b - which I have
    discovered is not true. I am not a software guru,
    for sure.

    I still have the erroneous result from "check for
    update ..." but that is a "don't care" - just a
    curiosity.  

    Thanks again for your help along the way. I
    find dqsd to be a fantastic program and would
    be "lost" without it as I prove every time I go
    to friends computer.

    George

    I then downloaded and installed dqsd.exe v4.0.0.6

    The same (old) imdb.xml is in that bundle and
    does what it says to do, but isn't the right
    "search" which as we know, should yield a
    specically called out movie.

  
  
Right you are -- I double-checked the details, and the imdb fix went
in just after the release of 4.0.0.6.

You could get the 4.1.0.0 beta, which contains a working imdb search.

Hopefully we can find some time to get out a proper 4.1 release, the
beta has been dangling forever.

I seem to recall the themes were designed not to be transparent, but
to have the same color as the various themes (there's one Olive, one
Silver and one XP blue, for example). Maybe James system color happens
to match the DQSD theme color?

Again, I don't know enough CSS to style my way out of a double-door,
so I don't think I can help :)
