Planetdance for windows / Re: Daemon - Draw and Aspectarian

In fact, it's a detail that doesn't quite make a difference - not at least outside my newfound vocation to annoy both of you, my friends!...LOL...

By the way, I really liked the last update!  Thanks!!!

Planetdance for windows / Daemon - Draw and Aspectarian

« on: August 25, 2021, 01:30:28 AM »

Hello everyone!

Would it be possible to have Daemon drawn on chart and included in aspectarian? Although I don't constantly use that point, sometimes it's very helpful, enlightening to me. As I'm the kind of astrologer who likes to see all the chart data drawn and 'aspected', even if the image gets a little overwhelmed, I miss seeing Daemon -- even though I have its longitude on the list. Thanks a lot!

Hi Ed, Jean and everyone here. I'm so, so very sorry for the horror we've all witnessed. And, despite the evil, this crime shows the relevance Planetdance has conquered. When you become a target, it means that, in some way, even perverse, they value you, your work. Not that makes the situation any better, nor that would be the kind of value you want, but...  Mondo cane!

Hey, Ed and Jean, it works! Now I'm no longer able to screw with Planetdance! I'll have to get another entertainment...

can you test this for me:
- download https://jcremers.com/pd.exe and replace your local copy
- edit c:\planetdance\pd.ini just do something so that it's modified and save it.
- now start the downloaded exe, how does it go?

OK! I just modified back the entry [UpdatesForm], setting the parameter Maximized=0 to 2.
Planetdance re-maximized the update window, showing it's content and immediately freezing. I killed the PD process and reedited pd.ini in order to set Maximized=0. Planetance returned to normal.

Well, I tried to do my best to play "do something" in the hardest way I could imagine. That is, I edited pd.ini in the worst possible way.

You can count on me for new experiments...

I've had another report that it crashes on the what's new screen but i have no idea why. Does Help - download - update work?

Hi Jean! Please excuse the delay in replying. That issue can be fixed in a simple edit of pd.ini file. The [UpdatesForm] input must necessarily keep the ZERO value as a parameter. It seemed to me that this is due to the specification of window dimensions, right after. If the window is set to "maximized", PD seems to try to implement the established dimensions without success. This might cause freezing. In my case, just changing the value [UpdatesForm]=2 to [UpdatesForm]=0 reduced the update window and unfroze my beloved Planetdance! 

Hope the tip helps!

thanks for the compliments!
Just checked on a win 7 pc, no problems, i think this is unique to that system. You could try help - download - update planetdance. Else you should download from the website.

Thank you so much, Jean! In fact, the issue is probably on my system. In addition to being a minor detail, it might be something that a system "Scanhealth" cleanup and a Planetdance reinstallation can solve.

Planetdance for windows / Win 7. "Help - Check Updates" freezes Planetdance

Nothing that disturbs the excellent performance of Planetdance in a very old Windows 7 system, a notebook with 2 Gb RAM. However, trying to "Help - Check for updates" causes Planetdance to freeze completely, as soon as the screen with information about updates and improvements is shown. The only way is to terminate Planetdance through the Task Manager.

I appreciate your attention. And, of course, I also thank for the constant efforts of Jean and the whole team; thank you, very much, for this impressive system that became Planetdance, a wonderful work in progress. And for sure the astrological software that receives the most care and constant improvement, reaching the level of the best, whether free or paid, nowadays.
