Deskscapes No longer shows in Impulse

from Stardock Forums

Hi, Deskscapes no longer shows at all in MY Impulse. I am unable to do the last update because of it. I have tried resetting the data that didn't work. Then I tried detect application and it says it has located Deskscapes 3 and will appear next startup. It didn't and neither did 3 repeats.

Can someone help please?

do you have it set to "Hide non-installed applications" ?

I don't but I do know that once the update became available it took away the icon showing in the installed applications group and showed a new one in the group of apps I don't have installed with a little message that said Previous version installed instead of saying available like the other apps in the group. Once I installed it it showed as installed but still showed in that group untill I changed the sort order of Impulse and then changed it back again. So if you have non-installed apps hidden then that's probably why you aren't seeing it even if you have the previous version installed.

 

 

or... It could be something else ;P

I've made a post at VistaDream explaining that the manager doesn't seem to "see" the new version of deskscape and hopefully the dream manager writter will see it and work out a fix. Either that or maybe Stardock can add the features from it that I really liked such as being able to set DreamScape to cycle thru selected dreams. That was my favorite feature of the manager.
