Heya I dunno if its a real bug or not just been using it since a week, but after I had the download the latest update version it doesn´t let me login again.
The whole program pops up and it tries to login and then everytime it stops and gives a blank page where the animelist should be showing and I get a pop up message saying the following :

Connection Time Out (Error #10060)

I know it should just be a connection problem, however, all my websites and instant message programs and games work normally so, wonder why I get that error all he time after the new update version.

Maybe you are using some firewall/antivirus that didn't update the CRC of the file when they found the executable was changed, and thus may be blocking it from accesing the internet.

Using the latest beta build,

and figured, in No-theme mode, diagonal resize should be disabled.
The cursor appears (North-East resize) but when dragged it acts kinda weird...

And just for beauty (?) issues, i think the scroll bar should be always there,
instead of disappearing though all the items are displayed and no scroll bar is needed.

eh, so still no luck with removing the [ _ ] /[ X ]buttons in No-theme mode? :)

On the bright side, all the other stuff works but I'm still having problems with restarting the computer. I thought it might have been my visual style so I switched it to windows classic and it didn't help. I'll provide a list of the programs running in my background to see if you know of any conflicts.

Bug report!

v1.20
"Refresh" button next to Login status message on top
resets to "Flat transparent" buttons after refresh
(though the option was not selected in settings)

I noticed since the very beginning,
but when a selected theme in drop-down menu in CP is not installed in MALU installation path (file cannot be found),
Error message displays and "Apply theme" button is disabled (grayed out)
and only restarting the program will enable skin changes again.

the button becoming flat after login is done on purpose (to avoid breaking theme layouts, since the image is larger than the button and it looks ugly otherwise)

1) when scrolling the anime panel if you move your mouse from scrolling area to panel area , instead of scrolling you begin to move the whole window

2)close button is not used in settings, maybe to make it close the window without saving the changes

1) Can't reproduce it here. maybe a xp bug? (I'm in vista). Or maybe it's fixed since I've been doing changes to that as well.

2) The close button is gone in the current build.

Tried to filter what apears in Messenger text just to broadcasts what i am watching if it is in my watch list / Plan to Watch but it seems it is not working.

Edit: (forgot restarting Mal updater :/)

Ok it seems to be working now that i tried with another movie. But when i tried again with a Dennou Coil AMV it broadcasted again. Minor bug only.

The bug on the Beta version to broadcast to messenger seems to persist even after me trying all the options to only broadcast what is on PtW list and Watching List. At first it seemed only to apear when i runned files with similar names of anime entries but it broadcasted some random movies that i tried.

I've been having problems with 1.15 so I was wondering before I got too deeply immersed in trying to fix this problem (I've haven't been following this thread closely and even if I did there is no guarantee that I'll understand eveything that was discussed--I'm semi-tech illiterate) if I should just go ahead and install 1.19 or 1.20 before I get deeply into reporting my problems. Problems include inconsistent episode updating and I've been having trouble shutting Windows down and updating other programs--but these problems could be unrelated (I'm not even sure MAL Updater is always running when I try to shut down Windows. I have other possible program conflicts as well.) In fact, I may be on the verge of a major system overhaul over and above these petty problems <sob>. What's your advice? Thanks.

go ahead and download 1.19 beta, overwrite the old exe with it. windows shutdown problem is fixed there. msn too

when I post a beta it's usually stable and rarely brings any new bugs, so it's 100% safe to use it; I just don't make it a installer so as not to annoy people with a new update required every 2 days :p

right now I run a build which is much improved even over 1.19 beta, so I will release it with a installer as required in a few days

Program version: 1.0
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, running on Aero Basic

Well, it works brilliantly, except for theme selection. Specifically, it provided me with this error:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y261/nyek/mal_updater_error.jpg

Running the program as administrator solved the problem, as did moving the entire MAL Updater folder to my personal folder. It's actually more of the usual Vista habit of not normally allowing programs access to its Program Files directory unless ran as administrator. A quick-and-dirty solution might be to allow changing the install directory in the installer program so that users can install to directories other than Program Files; alternate solutions may be possible (like placing the Themes directory in the user files directory similar to how save games are saved), but will likely be complex.

That said, I'd like the ability to choose the install directory as a workaround to this issue. However, it's not exactly a world-ending issue, since the program isn't averse to being copied and ran from elsewhere.

Well, thanks for the program, and thanks for your time!:D


I have finally fixed this. From the next version, the program will run without the need of admin priviledges in Vista.

and, don't know if it's a bug, but the "notification box" supposedly saying "service is down"
that pops up is invisible, with only shadow visible. :P


hmm that box is used for many notifications etc, please post in the bugs board about it to keep track :p you can make it pop by moving the slider of any anime to the last episode


yeah those notifications like
"Can't fine old/new episodes"
or "click on this to set this series completed"
work fine, the problem was when the service was down and it was showing some kind of notification box (only with shadows visible)
when I run the program.

Q. It crashes with windowblinds. (thanks to Konfig for this one)
A. 1. Update to Windowblinds 6. WB5 had quite a number of bugs.
2. Add a per application setting to not skin MAL Updater.

Before, just kenshin was enough to identify it but it seems it requires rurouni kenshin or it won't recognize it
Not much of a problem except I have to rename a lot of anime, o well ^^

Right-clicking the tray symbol and then clicking on 'Settings' doesn't do anything.

When customizing your own gauge and you want to Cancel the process you have to press the button 5 times before it actually cancels.

Ahh yeah. That's actually a bug fix. While it identified some names that now won't, it will also prevent false matches. You could use the batch rename tool under tray menu/tools :) (or request the single word to be added as an alternate name in the DB entry)

Thanks, didn't notice the tray/settings one. Fixed. The custom bar thing.. it has 5 steps. I will make it cancel the others if any is cancelled.

Whatever you did screwed it up. >_>;
