BumpTop 1.1 VIP - Build 3621 Now Available

A new VIP build is ready for testing. We are aiming to do a full update shortly after this VIP, which will be labelled as BumpTop 1.1. As a result, this update is primarily bugfixes, primarily based on feedback from our testers! =)

AS ALWAYS: PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ENTER AN EMAIL ADDRESS ON CRASH DIALOGS SO WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH YOU! Submitting crash reports is helpful, but we often need to ask a few questions, and we'd LOVE to send you an updated build to ensure a specific crash is fixed!

Some recent changes in this build:
Gesture and camera zoom improvements
Icon size and grid inconsistencies resolved
Tweaks to icon movement behaviours
Windows 7 shell commands should now be available to all users regardless of OS language
Fixing RDP detection on Vista and Windows 7
Redesigned confirmation dialog boxes for Vista and Windows 7
Better layout of widgets on desktop, resized photoframes by default
Better filename renaming behaviour (file extension is not selected)
Better handling of some crash scenarios (based on crash reports) and collecting additional telemetry data in these scenarios
Miscellaneous bug fixes

Known issue: Local photoframes will not load high resolution images if left zoomed in

VIP testers - please help!
a) Please test upgrade scenario from current public 3038 build from BumpTop.com and ensure your desktop is preserved. Note that if you're currently running a VIP build, moving BACK to 3038 will likely destroy your scene, so make sure you back up accordingly before testing.

b) We've seen some issues around saving files, especially in Office/Photoshop onto the desktop. Are you encountering any issues (duplicate icons, etc.) when you do this? If so, please email us or respond to this thread with reproduction steps so we can get the issue fixed.

c) Ensure file copying/cutting/deleting/moving to and from the desktop is reliable. Try cancelling a file copy/paste, especially when there's a name collision like when Windows asks you if you want to overwrite, skip, etc. Previously, clicking "cancel" in this case would cause duplication of file icons. Please try more scenarios out and see if any bugs remain.

d) If you have multitouch hardware, please test the gestures. We'd love to hear your feedback. Is anything broken? What do you love/hate? How reliable are the gestures for you?

e) General review of this build - given the improvements over build 3038, is it ready for a general release? Any major/serious bugs you'd like to see fixed before this update?

Thanks so much for your help, testers!

Once again, if you're not a VIP tester but would like to be, please email us at feedback AT bumptop.com with subject "VIP tester" to apply.
 
happy I’m excited
