About?

Submitted by jotek on 2 May, 2006 - 08:52.

Hi there. downloaded the new trinket, but the about is still showing 1.0.0.5

Just thought I would let you know (don't THINK I screwed something up, but always possible :D)

Anyhow, killer app. I use it every day. Thanks millions LordJeb!

Jotek

Just double checked the version in the download...

lordjeb's picture
Submitted by lordjeb on 2 May, 2006 - 09:32.

and it was 1.0.0.6 for me. I checked the version of the Trinket.exe and the version of what was installed by the msi.

If you already have 1.0.0.5 installed, downloading and running the msi file probably won't update to 1.0.0.6. You would want to run it like this:

msiexec.exe Trinket.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus

Which will reinstall from the newer msi file, essentially just updating you to the latest version.

Trinket version

Submitted by Bo Faurholt on 24 July, 2006 - 10:37.

If you take the properties of the Trinket.exe file, it shows version 1.0.0.6 , but when you choose the ABOUT from trinket in the systray it shows version 1.0.0.5.

I think it's just of matter of the "text" in the ABOUT isn't updated.

How to avoid the button in the task bar?

Submitted by Highend on 6 May, 2006 - 04:15.

Hi,

great tool but one thing bothers me :)

Is there any way to start up Trinket so that it only displays its icon in the system tray and NOT its icon and name in the task bar? If not, could you implement something that makes this possible?

Regards,
Highend

Trinket is operated via right mouse click menu

Submitted by marcoh on 1 June, 2006 - 11:56.

Trinket actually never shows up in the Windows taskbar. It is a windowless application which is used from the system tray icon via a right mouse click.

You are probably talking about the SVS Admin tool which is launched when you double click the Trinket Icon in the system tray.
If you don't want this behaviour, deselect the SVS Admin option when installing the Software Virtualization agent or simply rename or delete the SVS Admin executable (C:\Program Files\Altiris\Software Virtualization Agent\SVSAdmin.exe).

Great Tool

How do I get rid of Trinket in my taskbar?

Submitted by Kamilion on 15 August, 2006 - 04:10.

Howdy folks, I'm having a bit of a problem with trinket -- it seems to want to draw a tiny window and stick itself in my taskbar instead of living happily as a trayicon only.

How do I solve this? It's quite annoying.
Trying to click the closebox or minimize box on the window has no effect.

Go to the open source

Go to the open source project on sourceforge.net and leave a comment or a bug report there. Make sure to include some info about what OS version / SP you are running.

Trinket's Small Window Solution

Ponto.com's picture
Submitted by Ponto.com on 6 September, 2006 - 10:04.

I've found what makes Trinket show a small window. It was nView's fault. If you are using the nView Desktop Manager, the "Dialog box repositioning" option can cause this behaviour.

The solution is simple and you don't even need to disable nView or its "repositioning" feature. Open nView properties and create an "Individual Setting" for Trinket on the "Application" tab. You just need to set it to "No repositioning". It will work fine.

That fixed me.

Why Exit is disabled?

arjain's picture
Submitted by arjain on 4 December, 2006 - 04:20.

Hi,

I am using Trinket, and I feel that 'Exit' was a good option.

Was there any particular reason to disable Exit option?

Sometimes when system is running out of memory then to free mem it's good to remove a few programs running in mem.

Wow!

This is the most useful tool that I found for SVS! Great job!

Not yet the best rated - but it should come.
Nice work there!!

I love Trinket!

Submitted by Rootman on 14 February, 2007 - 14:46.

Coolest thing since SVS :)

One thing I would really appreciate is if it would respond to the mouse scroll wheel. I've got a long list of layers and scrolling to the bottom is a tad slow at times.

Thanks for the most excellent work.

Trinket is good

Trinket is a good program, but as stated before, if you have a long list of layers, it takes some time to scroll in the list.

Does not run on XP Pro SP2?

Submitted by Urvieh on 4 May, 2007 - 08:43.

It keeps complaining about an entry point in a mysterious dll. It is my understanding that it is not meant to run on XP? (I'm using the personal edition v2.01.)

If it is programmed on Vista, then it uses a newer version of the fsllib32.dll. The best practice for the programmer is to program on a win2k3 machine. This is using the correct version and the Vista version is then backwards compatible.

To solve this issue a manual way could be copying the fsllib32.dll file in the windows folder.

Maybe this way can fix this missing dll but I don't know if can create something else?

Copying the fsllib32.dll from Vista is screaming for problems. That is a new version, and other apps will no longer work.

Programming on Vista is NOT the problem

lordjeb's picture
Submitted by lordjeb on 9 May, 2007 - 10:19.

The new Trinket requires the latest SVS 2.1 Beta. That is where the new version of fsllib32.dll containing the new entry point is found. There is only one version of fsllib32.dll for all operating systems, but it should be kept in sync with the rest of the SVS system, so copying a DLL from one machine to another is probably not a great idea.

Thanks for explaining this.

Submitted by Urvieh on 9 May, 2007 - 13:23.

Thanks for explaining this. Does anybody know if there will be a personal edition of SVS 2.1? I don't trust Symantec very much ...

Submitted by mnow on 22 May, 2007 - 07:48.

nice trinket you made, but i think one thing is missing, and im not sure if your trinket can fix it. but i have a lot of programs, and sometimes it could be easier to have some folders in the trinket. like a folder called "school" where i have all my school programs, and a other called "work". or are there any other software that can do this ?

Activate 'Start Automatically' activates all layers

Hey Jeremy,

I've been a fan of Trinket for a long time. I just recently reimaged a machine and got my SVS agent installed (2069). I downloaded the latest version of Trinket, v1.0.0.10, but it doesn't work quite like it used to. When I go to activate 'Start Automatically' Layers, it activates every layer.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
