The desync popup has been reworked in FAF and has a box you can tick so it won't show up again.

I'm guessing it's not possible, but is there a way to watch replays if the map and/or game units .scd files have changed? If the change is minor (such as a weapon change or minor terrain change on a map), the replay would still be valid, but has the problems of the desync message. Any way to suppress that message in a replay if the changes are deemed minor enough in some way?

Desync crap means that your replay doesn't have all the correct sequences of commands which means usually what happens in a replay is different than the actual played game. So a desynced replay is not really worth watching since it isn't what exactly happened.

I'm working on an updated version now - the current version is not guaranteed to work with the new patch.

It looks like you don't have permission to access that folder. A few questions:

- Are you running as the Administrator?
- Is that folder restricted in any way?
- What happens if you move the replay to another folder? (eg, "C:\replays\")

I didn't want to force the UAC prompt every time you open a replay (because you usually don't need it unless your replays are in a weird location)... I could fix it by invoking the UAC prompt to get access to the path and retrying, but you'd still need to do so every time you open a replay in that restricted location.

Currently, it's not related at all to a replay manager; it's just for making it easier to watch replays from different places in the meantime.

I've started work on a replay manager which is roughly based off of this one: http://forums.gaspowered.com/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=24738 It will use FARS for the actual launching of replays (so those two pieces of functionality are compartmentalized), and will primarily be a way of searching through your replays and seeing extra information about them.

Also planned is Windows Explorer shell integration, so you can right click on a .scfareplay and open it in the replay manager / add it to a collection / etc.

It's in C# / .NET, built off of Windows Forms - if you're willing to help, the more the merrier. Like you said, it's not difficult work, just time consuming.

As soon as I told setup to re-associate the replays with the replay switcher, nothing happened.
I went to my replay folder and didn't get the correct icon (the icon was a blank one which tells you that windows doesn't know which program to open the file with).

I had to go through the "open with" setup of windows to get it done correctly.

It's not a big problem but it's annoying, especially if the setup is supposed to do it for you.

Otherwise, the program is working perfectly!
