iCollector 0.7.1
This minor release doesn't provide so much additional features, it is rather some internal stuff that has been improved.
We've done:
- Upgraded to the new Application Settings like mentioned in my last article (http://dotnet6.com/archive/2005/01/07/181.aspx)
- Earlier release made an async call to start the collecting process. All the aspects concerning this async call (including the marshaling) was coded on the wizards' GUI. Now a Collector class has been created who manages the collecting process and hides all threading aspects from the GUI. Later when we'll create an advanced mode, we can take advantage of this.
- When the user requested to cancel the collect process, iCollector will stop processing as soon as possible. So all running processes, get a request to stop their activities. Since some processes are command line utilities running on their own thread, we nicelly wait until they are finished. Whenever a collect is incomplete, iCollector will try to remove any intermediate files or directories.
- Renamed the Application Settings to WizardApplicationSettings. This way, we can keep different settings in case we run the wizard or advanced mode.
