Hi, i discovered a little bug in V0.799 . In earlier Versions 0.794 you could enable listening in standby mode by saying one the trigger words under VOX Command -Listen to enable listening, this doesnt work in 0.799 anymore.
Some other users seem to be having a problem with the auto-update feature so I am making a note here:
starting in version 0.79 the command format has changed to use dot notation.
In the older versions you would enter a command in the builder like this:
command: VoxCommando
parameters: On (or listen)
The new way looks like this:
command: VC.On
parameters: <blank> (don't type the word blank!, just leave the field empty
)
We still use parameters, but many commands now are being broken into Main Commands and Sub Commands, and sometimes we use the parameter but sometimes we do not.
When you start VC it
should detect that you have an older version xml file and give you a warning. Then you need to open the editor and save your commands. At this point, it should update your commands to the new format automatically.
If it does not update for some reason (or you get no warning) you have some options:
1 - You can try to edit the voicecommands.xml file with a text editor (notepad or whatever). Near the top of the file it will say the version. If you change this back to 0.7 and run VoxCommando again, it should again try to update.
For example it will look like this: <VoiceCommands version="0.799">
Change it to this: <VoiceCommands version="0.7">
and restart VC
2 - If only a few commands are broken, you can edit them in the command builder. Click the magic wand to see the new commands. If you have any questions about the new format, this is probably a good thread to post them.
3 - If this does not work, you can send me your voicecommands.xml and I'll be HAPPY to update it for you.
I apologize to anyone affected by this bug. I went to a lot of trouble to create the auto-updated so that this would not be an issue. I don't know what is causing it, but maybe it is a culture/language problem, because I tried updates on several computers and it always worked for me. Thanks for you understanding.
