Good to see SharkPost can still be found (and you).

I misplaced my copy several years ago. Now that I started posting
again, SharkPost is still my first choice.

Thank you. Grabbed it and using it now.

It's already finely honed in my modest opinion. As you wrote once, it
allows posting with far less clicks than the other posting programs.

But if I encounter bugs or have requests, I will let you know in here.

You did mention some years ago that you broke the message-ID generator
in this release. I have not checked, though.

After using the latest version for a week, I noticed some
non-obtrusive bugs. And I have a minor feature request.


- request: add a menu item or button to show the posting progress
window
- bug: after closing SP, I receive an error message 'Memory Leak from
undeleted TaskObjects'
- when my internet connection is lost (unplugged cable, for example),
SP closes; no error messages

Hmm, Program Settings is grayed out during posting. No show stopper;
just a minor request.

Every file posted, automatically removed from queue and added to the
history file. I'll try and delete the queue file after my current
queue is finished in half a day.

yes

You're welcome. I will keep an eye on this group.

I also noticed some erratic behaviour of SP when minimizing to the
system tray and maximizing. It suddenly closed.

I turned off the option afterwards but I'll try and reproduce it.

Thanks.

One more thing I noticed: when I choose to post the NFO files as 0/*
messages, the NFO file itself is not queued.

I seem to remember this was the case in earlier versions of SP, that I
could post the contents of the NFO als 0/* text and the NFO file
itself.

Was this changed?

Secondly, would you be care to post a list of the undocumented
features? Or do you refer to the release notes, where several are
described?
