Folks, after this long hiatus, I'm finally ready to release GR 1.0.1 in final form. It would be really helpful if you guys could test the beta, so we don't end-up with a half-baked final version like 1.0 was...

Thanks a bunch!

The latest beta of Gallery Remote (1.01b6) doesn't work at all for me in Windows XP, and nor did 1.0 or 1.01b3 - a problem I reported over a month ago, but received no assistance with.

For some reason, hardly anybody even bothered to read my thread when I put what the problem was right in the title (most of the views on the thread are actually me!). Ah well...

The exact error message I receive in beta 6 is:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/gallery/GalleryRemote/GalleryRemote

Older builds of Gallery Remote from a few months ago used to work fine for me, but I've been unable to get recent builds to work since I first tried over a month ago. I'm using Sun's Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition, Version 1.3.1 on Windows XP. Gallery Remote says it supports "Java 1.3 or 1.4". My Gallery is v1.3.3, but that has nothing to do with the problem since I never get as far as even being able to define the location of my gallery.

OK, now that I have Gallery Remote working, I can actually comment on the beta. Only untoward things I've noticed:

* I am told that a new version of Gallery Remote (1.01b6) is available on every startup, even though I am running that version currently (as confirmed on the about page)

* Whenever images are being altered, I get popups for imagemagick\win32\convert.exe in a new window, which looks messy and would probably scare the daylights out of somebody who wasn't computer-literate. It'd be nice if those popups were hidden from view somehow.

No crashes or anything as yet, though - the build seems stable, just one or two minor things as mentioned above.

1.01b6: you're right, I messed that up. I'll stop the upgrade messages. This really should be part of the build process...

Popup windows: which Java VM and which OS are you running? It may be that older Windows OS (9x) open a window whenever Java executes an external application. Does anybody know a way to prevent that?

OK, I'll try that on JDK 1.3.1. Typically, there's not a whole lot I can do. But I should warn about this in the ReadMe.
