Re: Copy-and-paste IP range bug

3 years ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum

Regardless of this being a habit, it is clearly a bug, as pasting an IP address should result in getting exactly that address. Thank you for reporting it! We have just fixed it and you can download the new builds here.

Re: "Patch Tuesday" and Temp/Tmp folders on a RAM disk

3 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum

As far as I know Windows updates use the system temporary folder, which is usually C:\Windows\Temp, instead of the user temporary folder in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp At least, we have never had any problems with updates with user temporary folders TEMP and TMP pointing to a volatile RAM disk.

Re: How to disable update notifications for license renewal

3 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum

You can disable this notification altogether by editing %PROGRAMDATA%\SoftPerfect\RAM Disk\ramdisk.xml and setting the renewalpopup parameter to false: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ramdisk> <config> <useraccess>true</useraccess> <locallinks>false</locallinks> <trayicon>true</trayicon> &l

Re: Is it possible to choose which RAM module the RAMdisk will use?

3 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum

I am afraid it's not possible to specify which RAM module to use. The Windows kernel API does not support this kind of thing. Having said that, it is possible to configure allocation in a specific NUMA node on multiprocessor systems for better performance.

Re: Feature request: Dark Mode

3 years ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum

The application does not support its own theming. It uses whatever theme the OS is configured to use. I am not sure if there are any good dark themes for Windows, but choosing a High Contrast theme will give you something like this:

Re: Dot behaviour when entering IPs; Search performance

3 years ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum

Thank you for pointing these issues out. Regarding the "." symbol for advancing octets. Unfortunately the current behaviour comes from the underlying control we are using. In version 7, it was the native Windows IP address input. In version 8, we had to resort to a cross-platform solution that works on both Windows and macOS. Having said that, we have modified its behaviour so that the

Re: Uptime timezone offset and Options window bugs

3 years ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum

Sorry, we weren't able to reproduce the time zone issue. It may be that some systems return local time while others return GMT time. Instead, try using the uptime item from WMI, as it does not depend on time zones: Regarding the settings/import windows showing above the upper edge, this probably has something to do with the component library the application was built upon. In order to ac

Re: Problem with unmounting: disk is currently mounted by another user

3 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum

It depends on what you wish to achieve. It just can't be that the program is not installed, but the disk is there. If the disk is present after a reboot, that means the RAM Disk drivers are installed and running. If you want to entirely remove the application, my advice would be as follows. 1) Delete the following registry keys: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\vvramd HKLM\System\Curr

Re: SpeedMeter shows speeds higher than my provider's official numbers

3 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum

Those bursts don't have much significance, it's just that when you start downloading something, the maximum speed can exceed your ISP's limit for a second or so. In prolonged use, you will not see any difference. But if you measure the speed at the moment of one of those bursts, you can see a significantly higher figure. That is why average numbers give you more realistic information.

Re: Getting "Login failed: incorrect password" message

3 years ago, by Andrew in Bandwidth Manager Forum

The Bandwidth Manager software consists of two components: a Bandwidth Control Service that processes network traffic and enforces bandwidth restrictions, and a Management Console used for configuration and monitoring. When you launch the Management Console, it asks you to enter the name of the host where the Bandwidth Control Service is running and a password. By default, the host name is loc

Re: Network Scanner version 8.0.1

3 years ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum

Thank you for reporting the issues. Regarding "minimise", it is the British spelling that is also used here, in Australia. The United States spell it "minimize". In other words, this is just a minor difference between two English dialects. Regarding settings disappearing upon hiding the application into the tray icon, that was indeed a bug. We have just fixed it and uploa

Re: SpeedMeter shows speeds higher than my provider's official numbers

3 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum

It is likely that the traffic shaper your ISP is using allows short bursts, i.e. when the maximum rate can exceed the limit for ~1 second. Try displaying the average figures instead, as shown below. This will give you a more realistic picture of what your connection can achieve for downloads:

Re: Suggestion: Compress disk image file to a ZIP archive

3 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum

If you only have an empty folder for browser cache, there is no need to use image files at all. Simply configure the RAM disk without image and set it to create a folder for the browser. Then on every boot you will have an empty RAM disk with that folder used for the browser cache. This setup is faster and more reliable, since there is no need to load the image file. However, if you still want

Re: Disk size changes without remounting

3 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum

It is not a bug. If you choose not to remount the disk, then the new settings are saved and will apply after a reboot. If you choose to remount the disk, then the new settings will apply immediately. In either case, the new settings are saved when you press Ok, and that's what the dialog shows.

Sure, you can override the IP address range to be scanned in the Settings at the Advanced tab. Simply specify all your IP address ranges comma-separated, like shown below, and WiFi Guard should be able to scan all your networks:

Re: How to setup IPv4 GRE filter

Simply go to the filter settings and choose IPv4 GRE as the protocol. This will effectively capture only packets with IP type 47 (GRE).

Re: Feature request: Notification condition based on session traffic or daily traffic

3 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum

I am afraid it's a little more complicated than it seems. Notifications are using a temporary memory structure, while long-term records for days, weeks and months are kept in a disk database. We will check if we can combine both the quota and notifications into a single mechanism, but please don't expect it very soon. Regarding adding or removing a certain number from daily records, I don't sup

Re: Feature request: Notification condition based on session traffic or daily traffic

3 years ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum

Well, it's possible, but these notifications are designed to be short term and using them for longer periods may cause problems. Say, you have set up an alert to show a message if monthly traffic exceeds X. As soon as that happens, the notifications will pop up non stop because the condition is true from then on and until the end of the month. If you choose to also shut down your PC automatical

Re: Network Scanner version 8.0

3 years ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum

This is a trade-off we had to make to enable the functionality on macOS. Since macOS does not have an IP address input like Windows, we had to use a custom control that works on both platforms.

Re: Deleting and recreating the Temp folder automatically

Yes, just type the script name directly in the file selection dialog. This will bypass the filter and you will be able add a VBS script. Here is how it works: In the next RAM Disk release we will allow selecting VBS files as well.

Re: Command line error "No address to scan"

Sorry, this doesn't seem to be reproducible. Perhaps there is some extra spacing or other characters? Try changing your command line to the following and see what it prints: cmd.exe /k echo /auto: /config:"%NetScan_App_Folder_Path_VAR\Xtras\Backups\Configurations\IP_RANGE_SCAN\D\scan.xml" /range:{Enter First IP To Scan:192.168.170.1}-{Enter Last IP To Scan:192.168.170.254}

Re: Application duplicates

Thank you for the detailed steps. I believe we have finally fixed it in the builds from 11th of February. Please download the freshest build and let us know if any bugs remain.

Re: Application duplicates

3 years ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum

Sorry we can't reproduce that. Does it happen right after the application starts? After opening/closing settings? May be it's worth checking what items are listed under Options - Applications.

Re: Application duplicates

Yes, sorry this was related to a bug we have fixed a couple of days ago. Please download the freshest build and both issues should be gone.

Re: How to put Windows fetch files, logs, browser cache, cookies and temp files of other apps onto a RAM disk

3 years ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum

There is no one universal way for all of that. Browser cache and Windows temporary files can be moved to a RAM disk as described in this article. For logs and application data, you will probably have to use symbolic links to redirect those items to a RAM disk.
