Threads Gadget V10

[Leo]

I have downloaded Paul's Thread Gadget to try it out in Aspire V10.0, but cannot get it to work.

It seems that I cannot load it into V10.

Any thoughts?

A lot of Pauls gadgets don't work in v10 as one of the calls to the tool database changed in v10. See here - http://forum.vectric.com/viewtopic.php?p=239252#p239252

I didn't see any of the previous posts initially, but that is what I suspected had happened.

Oh well!

At the risk of duplicating the info provided in the thread Adrian linked, this is the exact code change required in the "Threads.lua" file to make it start working again:

d:AddToolPicker("ToolChooseButton", "ToolNameLabel", ToolDBId() )
--NOTE: Changed "toolName" to "ToolDBId() "

If you open that file in any text editor and search for "AddToolPicker", you will find it. There is only 1 line of code in the Threads source file that needs this update. Save the file, restart Aspire or VCP, and it should start working.

I found the above post to be very helpful and a spot on fix. Thanks!

Just wanted to point out for others that its an upper case i not a lower case L between the B and d. So Id as in Tool DB identification. Hard to tell the difference in the font used on the forum...
