Snoop: There can be only one!

June 25th, 2010

Haven’t I already said that the community has just been awesome in regards to Snoop?

Well, here is another piece of evidence!

The other day, a developer, Bruno Martinez, from Uruguay contacted me and wanted to contribute to Snoop by making it so that there was only 1 version, instead of the 4 currently required at that point.

If you recall …

  1. You needed a version for WPF 3.5 and 32-bit.
  2. You needed a version for WPF 3.5 and 64-bit.
  3. You needed a version for WPF 4.0 and 32-bit.
  4. You needed a version for WPF 4.0 and 64-bit.

Yuck! Of course, it was better than not being able to Snoop in those situations. :)

Well, after integrating Bruno’s changes … you just need:

  1. Snoop

SnoopAppChooserNoLabels

Yeah, that’s right. There are no labels! Thank you, Bruno!

I’m obviously tickled by this … since it was a usability nightmare trying to figure out what version you needed to run … but there are host of other fixes/improvements as well. In particular, the Snoop start-up process is much more robust than it used to be and it can handle some fringe cases that it wasn’t able to before.

Please go to http://snoopwpf.codeplex.com for more info, and of course, the download/release area for version 2.6.0.

Happy Snooping!
