V2 - More on blocked by "Learning Mode"

[BlueHeaven]

In an earlier post, I reported that V2 wasn't popping up a rule creation window for LeechGet. It appears that it wasn't popping up a window for any new app, just blocking it with reason "Learn Mode". I shut down and restarted Outpost and now the rule creation windows are popping up as normal. This problem seemed to start when I tried to run iTimeSync, which, when it popped up the rule creation window, had a %s in place of the program name and nothing for the Remote Service or Remote Address.

This has been fixed in last update (build 226/281)

Actually, I agree with muchod. Something must have been fixed in this repsect. I also got a %s when trying to use an executable that updates one of my applications. But, I set up all new rules after updating to (226/281). And one thing that I definitely noticed was that the application that produced the rules creation popup with a %s in (225/281) did not do the same with the new version (226/281). I am glad that I read this post. Thanks. :)

In fact, the Agnitum bugfix description is:

- General Protection Fault when the Rules Wizard prompt displayed for a application with no VERSIONINFO resource

But it's a little difficult to understand to non-programmers ;)

I was curious. What is a "%s"? And where would one be found in Outpost?

Programming stuff. When you want to generate a string of text and to display it in your program, you do it that way:

function("About to load program %s, please wait",programname)

programname is a variable containing the actual program name, which gets inserted in the text where the %s (s stands for string)is. That allows programmers to insert any text (which might change) in the middle of a sentence (which is static).
