I am still not getting the icon in the taskbar with the old stable version. What logs do you want and how do I get them?

In v 1.8.0.1 & 2, I also do not have the Systray icon. I do have the Taskbar icon. I have run both versions .1 and .2 with and without Admin.

 

My old version 1.7.0.5 works fine except for the F-14 kneeboards. It has the Systray icon and does not close the app when minimized. When minimized, the SysTray icon is still there and works fine.

 

I have looked in my Event Viewer and there is no info on a crash for KBB or anything at the time it is started to when it is minimized. Very strange..

I have been able to recreate the problem on my end. I am working on a fix.

Please try replacing your 'KneeboardBuilder.exe' with this one and see if it makes a difference:

Let me know how it works out. Thanks!

That fixed the icon! And now when I minimize I can still use the Systray icon to Restore.

 

Thanks!

I've asked this before. Is there a way to tell how many pages of maps DCS has inserted into the kneeboard for a particular mission, without counting them manually? I'd like to capture the number to a variable or file and pass it on to VA.

 

Each A10C mission inserts between 5 to 8 pages of maps.

 

How does this kneeboard builder decide how many pages of maps to insert? why sometimes 5, 7, or 8 etc? If we know the logic then maybe we can foretell the number. Or can the number to insert be fixed?

 

Each waypoint will have a map section, or several actually, at different scales IIRC.

 

If your flight path between waypoints is long enough, map sections between those waypoints will be excluded.

 

There is no way to tell how many map sections will be included in the kneeboard. If several waypoints fit onto one map section, that would be just one section. If they are far enough apart, one per waypoint will be included. There's no way to see beforehand; at least no way of which I know.

I'm suddenly getting an error box when selecting my kneeboard profile that says "valaue cannot be null. parameter name: path". Any thought on the cause? I've double checked the paths to my saved games and install folders and recreated the profile and no change.

Two error:

 

1)

When I import a pdf file with form text boxes, the program leave it empty after import. The fields have content.

The previous version did it well. Please let the older version download, not only the 1.7 but the 1.8 series.

 

2) I try to process 3 pdf in one turn. add all 3 pdf, set the airplane etc and hit import. It crash.

ghostscript error, do not find the temp file. If I import one by one, it can import ... but see error 1 :(

 

So this version is worst than the one before. PLEASE, PLEASE let the old version download!!!!

Anyone try this in VR yet ? Wondering on how say the text is displayed if it's legible or hard to read? I am interesting in using for things like manuals or guides that are in PDF.
