Beta Tester Wanted (new Windows app for ReadyNAS)

Hi, guys.

I am sorry for getting back so late. I was a little busy to restore my ordinary life because I had spent too much time for this project. But I am happy to see you guys pay attention to this app.

I'll test it for you when I receive my machine in the next couple of days.

Thanks, please report the result when you test it.

Looks good, tested with my NVX and Ultra 6 and it performs as designed. I like that I can remote power on the unit without having to muck about with a magic packet generator. On my 1100 (under 4.1.8 T9) I get an unhandled exception but i think it's just a straightforward fan max RPM issue (the 1100 runs its little fans fast, especially at boot): (snip) I tried setting the max fan rpm to 7000 but it stops at 6000. Note also there are three fans in the 1100 (if you are interested in supporting the 1100).

Thanks for report on NVX and Ultra 6. As for 1100, yeah, I had intentionally set the maximum RPM at 6000 because I had never imagined the RPM exceeds 6000. The exception you pasted apparently relates to this maximum RPM. Okay, could you tell me what maximum RPM is appropriate for 1100? Or could you paste the result of "raw response" of "Scan NAS" dialog? (you can snip the IP Address, Host Name, Mac Address) I can just change it extremely high (like 10,000) but not sure it will be good solution.

I tested your app with 2100 and it seems to work.

Thanks for report on 2100. It is really great to receive reply from you.

Do you have any screenshots? (snip) I like the Win7 Gadgets. I don't use many, but I think they are a great concept and would love it if somebody could create a ReadyNAS gadget. (snip) I intend to look into both your app and DotBlog's (though his seems to be a browser page; with just 1 NAS, I could keep my FrontView open instead). I just want something my peripheral vision can glance at - like my CPU temps/RAM/network. In any event, thanks for this effort! There is a Yahoo! Gadget, but I do not want to install it on my PC as I had issues with the Yahoo Gadget "engine" sucking memory & CPU on my previous XP install. Maybe that can be ported?

As for screenshot, please check project home in SourceForge.net.

Then gadget. as Pasadena already answered, his RAIDar.net is a sidebar gadget look app (it is not gadget though). I like sidebar gadget, too (in Windows 7, it is no longer in "sidebar" but this name remains). Hmm... in principle, Yahoo gadget and sidebar gadget are similar. Both use JavaScript. But, when I studied the Yahoo gadget, it seems to use a binary dll to communicate with ReadyNAS systems. So, apart from copyright issue, it cannot be easily converted to sidebar gadget and maybe someone has to write it from almost scratch...

Currently, I am adding a few improvements to this app and hope to release it not so long.
