[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="60" id="2589622"] It's a good idea for anyone wanting to archive their applications to use Impulse Anywhere rather than Impulse. Archives created with Impulse only work on the O/S they were originally installed on. Not much use if you change O/S... It's a backup of your current configuration only. Once you have downloaded all your app's data and install files, and Impulse, and archived them somewhere, you are good to go anytime, anywhere [

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="57" id="2589387"]I used Impulse Anywhere, not the Impulse client http://anywhere.impulsedriven.com/home.aspx. Log in there and download your software. It's a website and nothing to do with what O/S you are running. You don't need to install anything to download, but you will need Impulse installed to install the programs. [/quote] See, now this is usefull info. This should be on top of the website! In all the three pages you are first pe

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="55" id="2589145"]I've just downloaded WindowFX from Impulse Anywhere for standalone/offline installation without a problem. All my other purchased programs, games etc are available for download too. I don't see the issue [/quote] May I ask what OS are you running? With the latest impulse client on Win 7 x64 when I try to install WFX I get an error that the program is not available for my OS. I get the same error when I try to dl and arc

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="51" id="2588500"] It is working as designed and it works well. If I buy a song off of iTunes and lose it, I'm out of luck. Yet you expect us to keep track the particular iteration of a given program a user purchased indefinitely? That's insane. Object Desktop is not just some bundle. If it were, it would cost a lot more. It's a software subscription. With Object Desktop, users not only get a

Just tried archiving everything right now and ran into a number of problems: 1. I can't archive programs I can not install (i.e. WindowsFX is not available on widows 7 so it won't let me dl and just archive). Thats just ridiculous so if I want to run the Virtual XP component of Win7 down the line and my expiration is expired I can't use the programs because there is no wya to get it. Brilliant. 2. similiar problem w/ the MyColors themes: can't dl and archive unless I have myco

[quote who="Bebi Bulma" reply="48" id="2588459"] Makes sense if it is overwriting the previous archive file, not deleting it and then creating a new one. It's just like saving a document and overwriting the previous revision. And since you are informed as to how the process works, why can't you just archive the software after you install it and save yourself the trouble? Somehow I don't see them reprogramming Impulse to do *everything* for the user because some people don't wa

[quote who="Bebi Bulma" reply="44" id="2588416"] I mean after all if you have the customer's interest in mind you, at the very least, include an autoarchive option along side the other options. That way when ever I dl, install or update an itemit is automatically archived! But that option is there. [/quote] No its not: The archive application before updating is a backup mechanism. I.E. in case a new version does not work for you you can then have the old ver

I think because most people don't know about it. The SD customer group breaks into a couple of stereotypical categories: 1. Rabid Fans: renew subscriptions "just because" even though they don't use the programs anymore, worship the ground the developers walk on. Theses guys don't care one way or another. They will have a subscription until the end of time so who cares what happens. This is a significant minority. 2. Average customer: These guys bought the software for a while

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="41" id="2588298"]TheRealFEI: This is how Object Desktop has worked for ELEVEN YEARS. [/quote] And what that makes it right? So for 11 years things have not worked as it should form a customer's point of view are you telling me that you have no interest in making it better?

Just went looking thorugh the preference settings on impulse: o.k. can anyone explain to me why there isn't an option for autoarchive? I mean after all if you have the customer's interest in mind you, at the very least, include an autoarchive option along side the other options. That way when ever I dl, install or update an itemit is automatically archived! There is already mechanisms there for updating and auto erasing of older versions! So why not take it a step further in the best interest

O.K. This is just ridiculous. SD forces you to use their client to dl and install instead of just providing setup files if you have ODNT but then cuts you off? Way to go guys! This of course makes ODNT a horrible value: value = getting all those programs for the price of $49.99. value != renting software for that price. A few things that need to be done if this fiasco is to be saved: 1. This has to be clearly spelled out before someone buys "a subscription". I.e. that you are

O.K. so no bootskin (very unfortunate as I really liked to use it along logonvista). What features can we expect in WFX 4? And when would be an estimated ready time? Also what about all the other programs? IconX? What else has been discontinued? Thanks.

Hello, First, before I get all the unnecessary comments, yes I know a number of the programs work in Win 7 x64 (e.g. IP, WB, etc...) However, when I bought OD I had access to a host of other programs that don't seem to work: 1. WindowFX 2. Bootskin 3. IconX 4. DeskScape (although this maybe an issue on my system or related to the non-existent release of DX 4)
