Some observations and suggestions regarding iStripper

@Rex

Thank you for your quick reply, and amy very happy that many of the points raised are already in hand. Several of the others were simply things that you might consider at some point of time in the future.

With regard to point 5) it really is very awkward at the moment to look at the details of a number of girls requiring many mouse clicks to do very simple things. Other users have already commented on this and, and I presume they, would greatlly appreciate it if it could be made easier.

With regard to 7) I know what the levels of eroticism are, but the names are still ***** and ought to be explained to new users, preferably without them having to read a manual because far to may people don't bother to read them anyway. A simple pop-up on a help button labelled [?] would eliminate a lot of *****.

With regard to 9) I have no problem with using control-A, but judging from posts from other users it was not obvious to them and some have laboriously selected every card individualy. As I said the method should preferably be obvious, not just available if you know about it.

For 17) my OS setting is metric, and that is what I want for most programs, but not for the girls vital statistics and height. I think you should defalt to the OS setting, but allow it to be overriden.

For 21) "Full screen" is an accurate name for how you implement the mode but it is equally applicable, and arguably more applicable, to the mode in which you show a single girl on the desktop. Its an implementation detail, not a user level thing. For a user the more important aspect is that they are "scenes" irrespective of whether they are full screen or not. There is nothing inherent in "scenes" that requires full screen and they could equally well be shown in a resizable window much as you do for the previews. Any such change would, of course, be for the distant future but it would then certainly be wrong to call them full screen.

For 23) it would help greatly if any time a message was logged there was an indication of the card or clip and, if applicable, the .scn file. This information could be on a secondary message which, assuing that you have a central error message logger, was automatically generated when any error was logged. As it is I have a log with lots of error messages about problems in various .scn files but have no idea which .scn files they were. Alternatively a single message every time a new scene is started would help even though there might be a lot of them.

For 24) I was refering to the arrowheads. When I first saw the ne carrousels I thought that they were meant to be how you rotated it and it took me some time to find out how it was supposed to used. I take the view that if I can make a mistake like this then so can other new users.

28) was indeed just intended as a fun feature.

29) Tabs for the forum would be nice, but I can always use the website instead.

30) The only real problem with the download list was when I was downloading a lot of new cards (20 or 30 of them) and found it hard to find which were currently being downloaded. The other things I mentioned with just nice to have features, similar to equivalent features in the Firefox downloads list.

14) I agree that more information is not always better, but as you will see from a couple of bug reports I recently posted I have encountered problems regarding what clips are played and in waht order, so perhaps I am a bit over sensiive to this lack of data. I still think it would be a good idea as long as it was kept neat.

38) "Blank" cards on the "My collection" panel.
We are going to change that, but it’s not a priority.

39) Provide a higher level "Models" view of "My collection"
Same, it’s already in our list, but not at the top

3) The iStripper window's "halo" is too wide.
It’s a bug and it’s not far in the list

4) Missing "tooltips"
We plan to add small (?) bullets everywhere, it’s mid list for now

5) Improve browsing of card details.
I’m not sure about this one, GUI is complicated enough already

6) "My collection" and "Girls store" behaviour differences.
Uncheck the “Use slider console in store” checkbox in advanced settings

7) Explain the "Levels of erotisism" via a pop-up.
“Levels of erotisim do not reflect the average level of each clip, but the highest level reached in a clip. They are meant to be used to filter content on your desktop, for exemple to prevent anything more that topless to appear.” will be added to the manual

8) Add clip type restriction to the settings panel.
I added it to the backlog here but that’s not a priority given all the things to do already

9) A quick and obvious way to select/deselect all displayed cards is needed.
Why does the average user need to select all the card? Why Ctrl+A is not enough? I’m not a fan of adding one extra button per function in the software as is makes it more complicated.

10) Enabling or disabling all cards can take a long time.
I’ll have a look at it

11) Problems when scrolling
We’re working on it
Do you mind posting a picture where the scrollbars at not visible? We don’t see that here.

16) Support clip deletion and restoration via clip list panel.
Why not, but it’s not a priority as it implies managing the reload of deleted clips and that’s not so easy GUI wise.

17) Support both metric and English weights and measurements.
We’re using the settings of your OS. Could you please have a look and see if they differ?

18) Card details sub-panel tab labels or icons usage is inconsistant.
Not much we can do here as this is handled by QT

19) Clip durations can be too far from clip descriptions.
Not important enough for now

20) No continuity of the interface view between successive runs of the program.
Not important enough for now

21) The "Full screen" mode is poorly named.
Why not, what’s the other members take on the name of this?

22) Access to iStripper logs.
log files are for advanced users, we don’t want it in the GUI

23) Insufficiant information in some iStripper log messages.
We add more details in the log files when needed if we’re looking to fix something precise

24) iStripper attempts to use internet even when no connection is possible.
This is a very valid point but it’s not on top of the list for now

26) Clicking on an arrowhead on a carousel has no effect.
If you are referring to the arrow on the floor under the models, we have no plans to make them clickable

27) User defined "carousels".
They are tricky enough to manage on our side, we have no plan to let users customise them for now

28) Provide a way to spin a carousel.
Fun but not for now

29) User defined card and clip attributes.
I like this one as well, but it’s not a priority

30) Optionaly increase the apparent thickness of the Windows task bar.
Obviously we have an issue with the size of that bar that needs to be fixed. But it won’t be customisable.

31) Data download folders.
Why not

32) Viewing forum posts.
We have no plans to provide tabs in the software when browsing the forum for now

33) Card rating system.
We’re working to improve the card rating system as well as the feedback on quality, technical issues etc on each card

34) List of available music
Music GUI has to be updated, but it’s not top of list for now

35) Associating particular music with a card
This will possible using playlist. You’ll be able to ***** and drop music in the playlists in the future.

37) Display of current downloads
We’re trying to keep the download pull down simple

12) Extra information for the main details panel.
Yes, let me see where that can be added

13) Clip numbering is *****.
No time to go back on this for now

14) Show clip numbers in "Now playing".
More information is not always better, I, don’t want this to get too clumsy

VirtuaGuy Customers and iStripper

Wszystko o iStripper
July 4, 2016, 32 odpowiedzi
Thanks for posting, DarkZephyr.  I have been wondering how it would work with VirtuaGuy.  As a partial solution, I suggest that Totem rename "Girls Store" to simply "Store".  I remember that a few users have both VirtuaGuy and VirtuaGirl.  The new term "iStripper" is actually gender neutral.  So another choice might be "iStripper Store".

It's also interesting that you can switch back with only the pop-ups.  I thought the old software had timed-out by now.

You're welcome! I was surprised it hadn't been asked yet! As for the switching back, I found that I could indeed do so, much to my relief. Everything seems to work just fine, despite the popup which vanishes after you click on it (not the link part).

Fair point, it needs to reflect the combined platform better and also have the option in settings to choose which Collections are NOT displayed by default. I can understand Virtuaguy customers don't necessarily want to see boobs in their faces, just as I would prefer not to see naked men in my Store tab.

I guess you could stretch the striptease icon (with a bit of imagination) to being a pair of moobs? Joking aside a gender neutral approach would be wise. Quite what you would use as the icon I don't know.

Maybe with the implementation of skins or part skinning options in the future something can be done with the icons too?

Thanks for your empathy and lol @the manboob suggestion. SOME guys like those, I am not one of them. LOL I hope we can skin it, I remember there used to be some great skins available at the old VirtuaGuyHD forum before it was closed by Totem.
We'll release within two weeks a version of iStripper tailored for VirtuaGuy.
Website will be update also in the coming months to become gay.istripper.com

Glad to hear it Rex. Thanks. :D

@xextended

I think you misunderstand. I do want immediately visible messages, not just one in the log file, but not ones that says ERROR, but one that gently explains "I can not do xxxxx because yyyyy". ***** is certainly an overreaction, but I have seen my sister become somewhat agitated by the normal Windows popup that is displayed when ***** a Pictures directory off a USB stick to somewhere where a there is already a Pictures directory even though she knew that the USB stick just had the pictures that had been missing the first time she had copied the directory half an hour earlier. This even though the message simply asked if she wanted to merge the two directories or create a new one. I ***** to think how she would have reacted if it had said "ERROR: Directory already exists". Some people just overract to these things, but thats why messages should be "friendly" and explain thing at the correct level.

I am also a programmer, and have been for 45 years, when i started it was reasonable to report internal failures as errors because the only users were other programmers, but this attitude should have disappeared a long time ago. Things reported to the user should do so at the appropriate level, just because an internal operation returned an errorcode does not mean that there was an error at the higher level.

I am well aware that it is possible to control the network traffic, and could easily do it for myself if I needed to, but most iStripper users could not and are probably unaware that there is the possibility that others could see that they were connecting to the iStripper server just by starting the program. If there is a "stealth" mode then it ought to be stealthy.

@TheEmu

Well, if you want you can actually disable all network traffic for one program (or more) as you wish. Maybe it is not so easy as a click on "offline" button but possible. First option is by rules of windows firewall. Second by rules of firewall integrated in most antivirus software available like Symantec Norton, Kasperski, etc. There are also options to do this by administrative tools but I think on pro and server versions of systems only. It is not hard but it takes too much time to go through many windows to get inside a list to add/remove app from the list to be as convenient like a button click ;)

Regarding the no network error. Well, there are different error levels to ***** from each is overreaction ;)
I think best solution would be the button on top taskbak with online/offline text. Setting it offline would stop messages but on online I would like to know (and support as well) why I cannot access for example the forum because there a several possibilities and most normal users doesn't even know that there is a log file. But point of view depends on where one sits as we say in my country. I look on this as a programmer and error messages are for my benefit and great help for me. As for power user view also - he can quickly diagnose and solve problem for himself. then there are less advanced users to totally "green" - they call/write to helpdesk and say they have error no. Otherwise you would have to remotely access each machine (if that user is able to install teamviewer or sth and it happend that I had to come myself because some are not able or to scared as you written to do so but anyway error code number allows me to prepare...) From my experience nobody can satisfy everybody.

I remember when years ago my fathers boss got online banking access where as it is normal nowadays you input only some chars from your password each time a bit different set like 1,2,7,9th but he always tried to write 1,2,3... on available fields locking the access after 3 failed attempts. We may laugh from this now but he wasn't alone in this. Usually good manual solves most of problems and they had really bad one :)
