Let's try a beta!

Alright gang ... I feel pretty comfortable with a short public beta on this.

Get the Beta here:  http://monroeworld.com/cycloeditpro/cycloeditprov08b.zip

This is NOT a prime time product.  I really recommend you wait at least ONE MORE beta build if you are at all squeamish about early betas.

Here is what I KNOW already is wrong:

  • PLEASE do not play in the Deployment Center.  I didn't disable anything or lock it out, and while I don't think anything BAD can happen in there, as Scatman Crothers said in The Shining, "You ain't got no business in there anyway .. so STAY OUT .. you hear?"
  • If you select a drive from the drive drop down, and it isn't a CycloDS Evolution card (like a hard drive) - it will make a CYCLODS folder on it.  Sorry about that.  THAT will be fixed next build.
  • Don't double click RANDOM in the Skin Manager :)
  • There is no code to trap invalid XML in skin definitions.
  • Alternative SAVE and TEXT locations do not work as they should.  I'd say out of that for now as well.

Otherwise, I think we're ok.  I'm not officially set up to handle bug tracking yet.  However, you can post stuff at the Team Cyclops forum for now, or reply to this entry here.

Thanks gang!

Hey, I love the tool so far.

Is there any where you want us to report bugs. I've had it crash on me a couple times when trying to do a backup and trying to delete skins.
