Duckbar updated to support X3e

panup
I added X3e support to Duckbar.
Go get the newest version 1.7.2 at sonarmods.com.
 
Next update is already in queue and it should be available at the end of next week. Something super cool is coming...

Panu - I used your mods pre-duckbar - so maybe this is a user (me) issue. However I tried (for the first time) to run Duckbar 1.7.2 (downloaded after I saw your post above). The Duckbar app closes immediately upon execution - "windows is looking for a solution...". I tried to re-download just now - both downloads are exactly the same size, etc. Same issue.

Hi Panu:
It seemed to install fine and I set a restore point, but now the program won't run.
 

Yeah 8.1 Thanks panu.

I don't have Windows 8.1 but I do my best to find the problem!

May want to remove "By Roland" from the references to Cakewalk. I noticed one at the end of the first run wizard.

Duckbar 1.7.3 is available.
Win8 users, please let me know how it crashes...;-/
 
...and if it still crashes, I have plan B: just downloading Win8 evaluation copy to test it myself.

Hey Panu - I just tried 1.7.3 - same result. It loads, recognizes the version of SONAR correctly as X3E, allows me to set a restore point - which I name and which is saved correctly, then it proceeds to crash. For the record this is the 64 bit version.
Thanks for the efforts especially considering you are limited in not having Windows 8.1.

Do you see messagebox to confirm that restore point was created successfully?

Yes

OK - just tried this Panu - I ran Duckbar 1.7.3 in "First Run Mode" and this time avoided setting a restore point. Same thing happened - Duckbar loads "successfully" then immediately closes with the message "Duckbar has stopped working...."
 

I reproduced crash.
And now the fix...
 

Panu Hi. I think its time for me to say another thank you. I was thinking about doing so yesterday but life got in the way. You jump on this as fast as a jackrabbit.  You do every time a new version comes out. Now an OS change is giving you trouble. Instead of bashing it or giving up you take steps to find a solution. 
 
I can only say if the world were full of Panus we would have no need for heaven.  Thank you for being a forum member.

Thanks John! :) :) :)

Superb! I'm learning to handle Windows 8 restrictions. :)
I have slept many times. Few nights ago I saw a dream where I had to record alligator in my studio:

In the next dream I played bass but bass guitar was broom and the song was a little car. Confusing but it looked like this:
 

Panu playing bass (kind of...)

With win 8.1 prior to the 1.7.5 fix I just run duckbar as Administrator and it worked fine. I haven't tried the latest update.

Working great here now. Thanks Panu.
