Exploder!!! Jafo, I hope your fingers are still in tact and you are still in one piece   

As another poster mentioned, some of us do use the History tab and rely on it to tell whether an update applies to us or not. Right now some users are on XP and some using Vista, and those of us with XP wouldn't necessarily want to update to a potentially less stable prerelease with a Vista only fix, whereas Vista users probably would. During the time when there's such a mix of Vista and XP users, that History tab is more useful than ever. If you don't want another tab cluttering the interface, could we get a mouseover which has the update info or something? I would love that.

I had the same issues with the updates not always being updates and with SDC and Impulse not matching. Am sure that will be fixed quickly.

The interface isn't really my favorite colors. It's slick, but olive and dark greens are unpopular with a significant number of people. Many people associate them with poison.

Will SDC still work to browse skins? That's the main reason I use it.

Just found a few things...Some of the purchased and registered products I have can't be added to the registrations because they are not showing up in the dropdown list of choices...such as Carbonix skinpack & Universe Metal.

Another one was ...updated Iconpackager...which looks great by the way...through Impulse...and noticed that with Paul Boyers Apogee icons which contains about 14 subpacks it only shows the first one and you can't choose any of the others...unlike the previous Iconpackager which had the dropdown for these. Unless of course I'm missing something somewhere.

Other than that I'm getting used to this Impulse!

Installed flawlessly. Picked up my account info automatically. Self-updated and restarted just fine. I like the splash screen telling the user it is updating and applying the upadtes.

On the updates page I find this one disconcerting issue. WB on my machine is a higher revision than on the upadtes and yet Impulse sees mine existing as older for some reason.

Installed beta: 6.09f.[b].130
Available beta: 6.09d[b].124

I think I'll not install for now, huh?

And then while I was typing this, Impulse crashed while trying to download Deskscapes new build, simultaneously trying to verify Icon Packager download.

I restarted Impulse and when it came back up WB was no longer listed, and all the updates I had selected now showed done. Then in a matter of a few seconds everything verified and showed installed.

And then after switching to "My Desktop" there's the older WB listed again.

my IP app looks NOTHING like that. i'm assuming it's because i'm on vista 64 , tho

Shows updates available for a lot of apps, yet the actual versions are not all updates, some are. The sample in the image shows the same version as I have installed

A lot of the updates are showing here but not in SDC - is this one running a little "ahead" then on the beta versions?

Also - am I just missing it, or is there no longer a way to view the "history" to tell what's updated in a new version. Quite important for those of us who run the betas to know just what is coming with a new beta to determine if it is worth installing.

As per Snowman. Obviously, still in Beta. Green is somewhat in your face and clashes with other colours......should really be more neutral to enable focusing on the information at hand.

I'm one of the few that likes the GUI color choices except for the store page. The colors don't seem to meld well IMO...specifically the right hand side.

Haven't and most likely won't test the downloads but, functionally have no problems since updating Java.



Seconded.

Technically I don't think this is the thread to mention this but, thought I'd ask.
Are there plans to implement some sort of beta testing/tracking and feedback into Impulse? I think this would be very helpful to both Stardock and customers.

For example:
- listing known issues maybe with a button option to indicate if the user experienced the problem
- upload new issues, etc.

All,

Thank you very much for putting your time into test driving the preview of Impulse!  We appreciate your comments.

For those with issues with SkinStudio 6 download issues, please try again.  We have updated the files on the server to resolve the issue.

I have taken notes of your suggestions and we will work to include them into the next release of Impulse.

 

It looks very nice and mostly works well.

I am having an issue with there not being an option where Impulse recognizes that I have CursorXP Plus (but not FX Plus) registered. It only shows the free version of XP. I tried putting my serial for XP Plus in where XP is listed in the Registrations tab, but it only keeps that showing for the current session and I don't think it's actually associating with the Plus version anyway.

Also, I was wondering whether Impulse is supposed to recognize premium suites or only MyColors themes? It seems as though we'll have to keep track of suites in ThemeManager, but we can use Impulse for themes?

What Operating System are you running?  Vista or XP?

My guess here is that this is from when we are editing the User-Agent string. This let's our servers know when viewing the websites that it's coming from Impulse and not some other client.

Impulse rocks
