LOL Did you ever see the first release? Before it was a PBSS viewer it was just something you could run in the background to past in an IP and it would open your browser and navigate it to the PBSVSS.htm for that server! LOL Want a screen shot?
So has any one discovered any bugs in the new Patch yet? I haven't, I do realize some features are missing thought that I'd like to include such as MBL search dialog. Post your suggestions in the Suggestions/Ideas thread if you have any: http://groups.google.com/group/PBCool/browse_thread/thread/63b2dde8f1...
no everything is working fine,,, the onlyest thing is,,, if PB COOL download the PB files,,, the tool is freezing for 6 seconds and after that it will open the ss´s
This happens when PBCool tries to download the MBL, under certain circumstances it may cause the main thread to freeze up and stop responding to Window Messages until the MBL Downloading thread pauses to allow for main WM Queue processing. (This is all caused by a delayed response from AoN while PBCool is trying to download the Header for the MBL File which it parses to determine when the last update occured in UTC time format)
This means the window will/may stop being responsive (to your mouse/keyboard), which rules out moving or resizing PBCool.
I'll release a patch soon to fix this synchronicity issue. In the mean-time don't be alarmed, PBCool is not frozen, and the MBL header download shouldn't take long. For a quick fix if this problem is causing you issues (until I release the patch) just disable the auto-managing of the MBL in the PBCool Options. Use the manual 'Refresh MBL' menu item if you suspect you need an MBL update.
Ive got version 3.2.16 but on several occassions after I select a player from the browse menu to view their screenshots, the actual screenshots that appear are from a random selection of other players?
Any ideas?
I've tried refreshing the log etc which sometimes works. It happens on all servers.

Hi Gordon,
This is actually a bug in the settings on the server from which your downloading the PBSS's. Sometimes the log entry (GUID and Sequence #) do not coincide with the GUID printed on the actual PNG .
This happens when there are more Entries in the PBSVSS then there are PNG's stored on the server, so they re-use the filenames for the PNG files but the PBSVSS file isn't updated.
You'd likely only experience this when you are on Admin or Custom download settings and are downloading many Log entries. This also shouldn't happen on all servers, but a good majority of them you might see one or two screen shots out of place. This is also more likely to happen if you have disabled the time filter "Don't show screen shots older than # days"
The only way to solve this in PBCool would be to use optical glyph recognition on the actual PNG to make sure the GUID is the same as what's supplied in the entry which provided the name of the PNG. This would be a processor intensive process and likely wouldn't be worth it.
I'll see if I can come up with a practical solution.

Sorry for my bad grammar, just woke up -.^ [sent Sun 6:59 AM]
I have the same problem as Gordon. I'm not sure what you mean by Admin or Custom download settings but I don't manage our server at all and every person I look at has the wrong screens. It's not a huge problem because I usually just check all of them - but when we suspect a player it's hard to pinpoint his screens. Overally nice job on the program it's very nice
When you have a lot of ss that have the wrong name, you may want to have the admin of the server stop the server and delete all the .png and .html from the server. Then restart the server. After awhile the pbsvss.htm file gets to large, and the png and htm files are overwritten and it all gets out of sync.

2 Click the Custom Address button '@' beside the Server Address box. Type in your server IP: 69.12.9.242 Type in the PBSS Url: http://pb.gamedaemons.net/69.12.9.242/pbsvss.htm Click the 'Add' button to Connect to the Server :)
