New version of offline fxDreema?
-
Maybe the unbeloved old desktop version can be easy replaced by a more recent offline version of the current online version using this tool to create a desktop app from existing code:

Hi,
First of all - great website and software; thanks for offering something so awesome. Keep up the good work!
I was wondering if you had any plans to update the offline version of fxDreema? It seems the latest version available is Build 100 (December 2015). There is a feature missing from it that you added to the web version as an update in 2016 that I'd love to use offline, if possible.
Cheers!

I have no plans. I'm almost done with the NodeJS version of the whole website and NodeJS is more desktop-friendly, but I still don't like the idea of having a desktop version. I know, people like it, but I don't. It is also interesting that even without active desktop version, people are still using the tool. I was expecting loss of people when I removed the link, but exactly the opposite happened
-
That's a shame but no worries, will stick with the website version! Thanks.

It's a shame, but I prefer to keep things simple, mostly because I'm the only one behind all this
Also, I never wanted to make desktop products anyway. I was experimenting with the desktop version back then, because someone was not feeling secure about having his projects outside his PC.There is one thing I like about the desktop version - because it's offline, the server feels better. There are few people who have giant projects with 700 and more blocks
But this is not a big problem. -
Did you see my link to http://electron.atom.io ? Its a tool to create desktop Versions from nodeJs, JS, HTML and css
I was told about that from a friend who says its really easy to use compared with the php variant you used in the past for the old desktop. -
I once tried something else as well, something like NW (nwjs... node... something, I forgot the exact meaning). But I personally don't want to make desktop versions anymore, it's not only the technical difficulties
You can see how bad I am when I'm trying something new. But when something wrong happen on the server, I can do something about it and fix it directly in the database. Also, I tend to change the structure of the data that is stored and on the server I can write a script, modify the whole database and delete that script forever. While in the desktop situation, everyone has its own database locally and because of that I must thing for supporting old data that is created months and years in the past. Plus, I really don't like the desktop version from the beginning. I feel that I'm repeating myself too much, but I personally don't want it around. I am a web guy, I never intended to make anything for desktop, I just don't like desktop applications, versions, serial numbers and so on. Isn't there some other EA builder out there that is desktop-based? I know I'm not supposed to talk about about other EA builders, but if desktop is what some people want and I can't give it to them, well... everyone is free to use any product -
Hi Radoslav,
the problem for the desktop loving guys is simply explained: Your FXDREEMA is simply the best
And yes I understand your complains. I was leading a lot of IT Projects in the past and I am a web devloper like you. For the database there is a simple solution which is useful for the web and desktop as well:
At first create a table lets call it migrations.
Every time you have to modify the database you write a migration script (this is what you have to do anyway) then you give this script a name and a number. Name for readability only.On startup you make a lookup in the migration table and in the ini. lets assume in the ini the most recent migration is 42 and the lokup in the DB its 38, then your software hast to run the scripts 39, 40, 41 and 42.
This way you will never have to deal with any old DB Versions.
Depending on your needs you can write the "anti" migration for posible needed rollbacks. That requires good planning of course because deleted columns you can never rollback.
Writing this kind of versioning is helpfull if you find out that an update needs an rollback
-
I have similar system for the projects, there is such script somewhere that will always convert old project to new project. I prefer to not have it

@fxdreema 
image url))I think you need to update your features list to not include The highlighted statement.
Your server went down on the 26 May and an offline version would have been handy - I guess it would not have woked anyay if you have some sort of client server setup as mentioned above.
I was really pumped about the windows version until I was unable to find the link.

Well seen!

@freeflow here: https://fxdreema.com/desktop/
Only the log-in needs internet, rest works offline.
However, its an old version of the builder and not recommended to use.Need small help? Tag me in your post
Need big help? https://www.fiverr.com/big_algo/automate-your-winning-strategy-in-mql4-or-mql5 -
@fxdreema , I would like to inform that I have problem to save and download files from fxdreema nowadays due to flash player. I have installed flash extension on Google Chrome and has used to download files however sometimes it does not work. I find it a an frustrating to face this issue whenever downloadng files. Google Chrome has inform user that "flash player" shall not be in use after December 2020. Does it means we cannot download files from Fxdreema after December 2020 using Chrome?. Is Fxdreema doing anything to make alternative method to help users?. I am facing this problem now thats why I am writing to inform. Can anyone help me?.

@roar Sadly the admin is not updating the app.
I would certainly use it it it was updated for Windows 10. -
@okii This is really weird. Never found that, although. Certainly you should contact the admin informing about that.
-
@l-andorrà , Thank you for your advice... I experiance this since this week only.. I wonder what was wrong...
-
First of all... Cool Program, web or desktop.
The Desktop version seems to be working ok with win10, but it does crash when trying to import projects.
Any project done on the web version needs to be redone there.
It is much easier to export and run, without having to copy from the download folder to the experts (also one can use a browser just for FXdrema and set the download folder to the experts folder...)I was looking it up to try some iterations while on flying, and while the battery lasts.
-
@vascoa I'm afraid it will not happen soon, if it ever happens.
The admin abandoned the desktop version loooooong ago and no changes were done since. Maybe you could contact him to ask for any future changes on it. -
@l-andorrÃ
Not necessary.. He was clear on not wanting to invest more time on the desktop version and we have to respect that. Also, it's a one man operation so time is limited as it is.I was just registering it for future memory as an "heads up" in case someone thinks about loading existing projects there. Or if someone knows a workaround, like installing a specific Java version or other resource that might be more compatible.
Otherwise I usually use the online version for my iterations of hope. -
@vascoa A Java version would be a prize!
