Any chance you can take a screenshot of your approvedapps file?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] DRen72:
My Input on this...

Ok...Great program. I'm sure it will be improved down the line, but it does what I need it to for now.

Here are some tips I'd like to share...

Seems the links you list in the "ApprovedApps" file must be on the C: drive. I couldn't get any of mine to run if they were located on another drive letter. No big deal though, I just created a shortcut to the app I wanted to run and placed it in the TileCreator folder on C:. Problem solved.

At first I wondered how I could make tiles without any titles. Simple, just press the Spacebar once where it says "Tile Name". Then create the tile as usual. No visible titles!!

The issue with launching the tiles and having the app popup then close....my workaround was to open the app then position it in the far bottom right corner where only the title of the app shows up, then close it using the taskbar context menu. Next time you launch a tile, it pops open where only a tiny bit shows down in the bottom right corner. Of course if you want to edit or create a new tile, you will have to drag it back up from the bottom right corner.

So far, its a little complicated for beginners but workable. I've been building and working with PC's for 25 years so....

Y don't undestand. what's [RU]? in ApprovedApps.config especify this path, or name: path, ???

thanks
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] koliaclouds:
Thank you very much for the work done! A little uncomfortable but I hope it's only temporary! While the colors on the tiles do not change and there is no way without closing the application - to create the next tile. Also, while not all links are launched.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Vairish:
I believe it means it's the Russian version of the game.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] koliaclouds:
This is not the way to run files of the game and the link label. It must be of type x: \ program files x86 \ Call of Duty Black Ops 2 \ lancher.exe. or something like that!
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] insaiyanxo:
I wrote a review of the TileCreator app on the Store since nobody has written one yet.

Some bugs I found

1. Text and Tile colour change doesn't work for me, perhaps it's working for everybody else except me xD

2. Somebody already mentioned this on the thread, when opening a tile that's been created by TileCreator, the TileCreator window opens and closes. This is a very tiny nitpick but it's still disturbing seeing that window opening and closing.

Thank you for making this app, it's very satisfying creating custom tiles.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] GObonzo:
this is an incorrect example. you have to include the .exe in the file name.

example in ApprovedApps.config: Ghosts:C:\Program Files\Call of Duty - Ghosts\iw6sp64_ship.exe

not correct.

as in example above

you do have to include the .exe in the file name, but also the app ID name you choose, Ghosts in this example, has to be included before the directory and no spaces around the backlashes.

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

doesn't have to be any drive in particular. any available address on your system works. Windows is on C:, but tiles launch for programs on D:, for games on G:, even files on my external drive J: launch fine.

may be a windows security restriction. what errors do you get when trying to launch files from other than C:?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] DRen72:
None. They just don't launch. I'll keep toying with it later but my workaround works perfect for now.

[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] :
Hey, tilecreator, thanks very much for this.. Can you implement this: When tilecreator popup opens before opening our app, can you make it hiden as more as possible? As someone else notes before, we can move its window at the bottom so only a small part of the window is visible. But then we have to move it again when we want to make another tile, and then again hide it.. Can't you make somehow 2 shortcuts, one visible when we want to create a tile, and one hiden as much as possible when it auto popup..

Thanks,

Deal breaker found. Issue with Logitech Setpoint.

Well, I have found the deal breaker for me. I cannot explain exactly why, but any game I launch using TileCreator breaks Logitech Setpoint mouse custom settings and for me, this is a deal breaker.

I use my Logitech gaming mouse with custom button configurations in many games. TileCreator kills this. I've confirmed it with several games. Until this is resolved, I'll have to bow out.

Is there any way to hide name text on tile ?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Vairish:
When you create a tile just don't enter any name.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] GObonzo:
that sucks. if my Logitech G600 mouse software stopped i would sue. seriously, with 15 extra buttons that need binding, it would also be a deal breaker for me. very strange that they would affect each other at all. is it separate profiles that aren't launching or the software just dies all together?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] kilador:
Because our Atom CPU and drivers only work on 32 bit OSs, so it would be a shame if we can't customise our tiles as well :/
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] robertonuno85:
Almost perfect

I thought I could live with the Tilecreator app opening and closing upon clicking a tile but it's just too distracting and "not proper".

I understand this stems from a Windows 10 limitation. Can you, perhaps, have the Tilecreator app constantly running in the background (or perhaps even minimized in the system tray) to avoid the annoying pop in and out behavior?

I will happily donate if it's something I'll end up using, but as of right now, it's just too annoying.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Amillennialist:
My Logitech G700s sometimes loses its settings (I use one custom profile, and it's stored on the mouse), and I haven't pinpointed the reason yet. (Oddly, when I reload my custom profile, I always have to reassign G11 manually.)

Anyway, this is not exactly your issue, but I discovered recently that LCore.exe interferes with at least one 32-bit Setup Installer -- Croc wouldn't install with it running -- and SetPoint.exe has to be killed in order to run Gothic 2.

This is in Windows 8.1.1 x64.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] DRen72:
Its the custom buttons (the ones you define in Setpoint). They just don't work when launched with TileCreator.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Arashisenko:
So instead could you set a tile to launch a shortcut to the game or would that still interfere with whatever is going on?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] DRen72:
Tried both with the same results.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Arashisenko:
Balls. Well, here's to hoping some kinda workaround could happen to fix this, cause I just a g700, and I haven't set these up yet, but I'd like to.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] DRen72:
Hey try one anyway and report back. Sure enough not working on my end, but could be something else (though I don't think so).
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] GObonzo:
what Logitech software does the G700 use? my G600 uses Logitech Gaming Software v8.70.315, not SetPoint, and works great still while using games and programs launched from TileCreator tiles.

Trouble

Hey, I'm having trouble.

When I click on the newly created tile I it opens TileCreator and I get this message?

*edit. Can't post links yet (newbie.)

I downloaded both apps and have checked the file path multiple times.

Must be missing something

I got both application installed and ran the Proxy as administrator. Icons create just fine (looks so much better than what Win10 does), but when I try to run any of the apps from the new icons....nada...not a single one will run. Been combing this thread to see what I may have missed, so if any of you might have an idea on where I need to look, I would appreciate it. This is what is in my TileCreater conf file:

castle:C:/games/Castle Crashers/castle.exe

shovel:C:/games/Shovel Knight/ShovelKnight.exe

wolf:C:/games/The Wolf Among Us/TheWolfAmongUs.exe

outlook:C/program files (x86)/office/office15/outlook.exe
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Berserk87:
In tile creator the application keys you should be using would be "castle" or "shovel" or "wolf". the mistake a lot of people are making is pasting the entire directory path in the app key field.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] TheMainCat:
In Tile Creator I am only using the AppKey. I found (in this thread) that I was using the wrong slash in the path. When I fixed that, the Outlook entry now works, but the other three do not. In the ApprovedApps.config file my entries are as follows...

castle:C:\games\Castle Crashers\castle.exe

shovel:C:\games\Shovel Knight\ShovelKnight.exe

wolf:C:\games\The Wolf Among Us\TheWolfAmongUs.exe

outlook:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\office15\outlook.exe

The "outlook" entry works fine, but the other three launch/close TileCreator (as expected now), but do nothing. All three games will run directly from FileExplorer, so I am curious what the issue is. Thoughts?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Berserk87:
A few people have had issues with launching programs from certain directorys. If your outlook link is working now I would try making a folder called "tiles" in 'Program Files (x86) and drop a bunch of shortcuts in there then link to those. see if that works for you.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] banana_lumpia:
Are you still taking suggestions on improvements? I think the icon needs to be smaller to be in line with the other icons, maybe a different icon altogether? Purely aesthetics,. Also the feature in OblyTile to directly link to the app without having to go through the .json way and adding it manually just my two cents!
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] GObonzo:
OblyTile's features don't work in 10 so this way is the best there is for now.

what icon are you talking about making smaller, the image shown on the tile for TileCreator? the point of it is to make all your tiles look better and the images to fill the entire tile. if you already like the tiny icons in the middle of the tile the way windows defaults, then you don't need this App. just right-click and choose "pin to start" on anything you want to link without using TileCreator.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Berserk87:
I think hes talking about making the small tiles. tile creator doesnt support making those right now.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] TheMainCat:
Pointing to a shortcut in a "plainer" directory did the trick. A Thanks is coming your way, for pointing this out to me. While poking around, I am wondering if the Tile and Font colors are working yet. No matter what colors I choose, the tile is always blue and the text is black. Thoughts?

I was talking about his actual app, not everything else. The giant orange and green windows icon.

Hi,

As we all know that Motorola launched Moto G 3d gen with quite bump in camera department like 13 mp Rear cam and 5mp Front cam along with Dual tone LED flash for night time photography,, Its improvement over 2nd and First Gen Moto G . Although we all know mp Bump doesn't necessarily means improvement but Motorola is keen to improve its device camera capabilities .

I want u guys to post your Moto G 3rd gen camera samples in this thread and shows us your camera skill and Moto G 3rd Gen capability. Take pics in Daylight, Night time , lndoor light and at any time.

I've had the Moto G 3rd Gen 16GB (XT1541) for a few days now, and have been impressed with the camera in daylight. Though I wouldn't call it the "class leading camera" that Moto seem to think it is.

It isn't great in low light. I have compared it with my Lumia 830 with it's 10MP camera and smaller aperture, and the Lumia 830 kills it. Clearly OIS helps greatly in low light situations.

The Moto G3 does come with a 'Night' mode, although it is absolutely useless. Images are limited to 2MP and don't actually contain much more light. Oddly turning on HDR instead creates a much more usable 13MP image, with more light captured.

See the comparison shots below. One from my garage (almost total darkness), and one outside at 8:30 during sunset. The G3 does much better with more light, but the images are soft and blurry in places and are lacking in detail when viewed at 100%, the Lumia 830 produces a much more detailed shot.

Click the images for full-res

Moto G3 Auto [an unusable shot]

Moto G3 Night Mode (2MP) [slightly more light captured (very slightly), but at the expense of resolution]

Moto G3 Forced HDR On [full res and far more light captured, making this the most usable shot from the Moto, and making the Night mode utterly pointless]

Lumia 830 Auto [easily the best shot of the bunch]

Moto G3 Auto [good colour and ok detail, but overblown highlights]

Moto G3 Forced HDR On [good colour, better highlights although sky is still too bright, very soft and lacking detail]

Lumia 830 Auto [again the 830 produces the best shot, still overblown sky, but much more detail is captured]

Coming from iph 6 I am impressed what third of the price can do.
