SndVolPlus 1.0 released

SndVolPlus is a tiny standalone app, that's a replacement for the standard Windows volume control icon.

It functions exactly the same as the original "SndVol.exe", with two huge extras:

  • Middle clicking the volume icon toggles mute
  • Double clicking it opens the Volume Mixer directly

I wrote it out of frustration when I couldn't easily mute Windows Media Center when watching live television. Now that I can, I've put it up so you can to! This, like most of my recent projects, is BSD licensed open source, with it's own repository on BitBucket (link).

Default Programs Editor 2.6 Update

I discovered a couple stupid bugs right after I posted 2.5, so here's a quick 2.6 update to resolve them.

Version 2.6.1837.1459 (February 14, 2010)
Bugs Fixed:
- Fixed a discrepancy between value data types when saving to a .reg file vs saving to the registry when changing a context menu item name.
- DDE Message was not deleted if the program was running with elevated privileges.
- File type icon would sometimes not be detected correctly when the icon source was the default program.
Crashes Fixed:
- Deleting a context menu item would sometimes result in a crash.
- Inputting invalid character for context menu item name sometimes caused a crash.
- In some cases, opening the autoplay handlers page for some media types caused a crash.
- Saving context menu changes after editing a command label (including implicit edits) caused a crash.
