TVP Not shutting down if dongle inserted duting startup

[Mads Juul]

a small request
I work on a laptop different places. so my dongle is often unplugged.
Right now if no dongle is inserted and I double click a TVP file wich is the way I open TVP.
then
1) TVP starts
2)Comes with an alert with the dongle is not present
3) I remeber and find the dongle and insert the dongle
4) then the project loads
5) TVP Closes
I would like that TVP checks for the dongle after the alert box to see if the dongle was inserted

Or maybe we could add a second button "check again" ?

why?
EDIT: ahh I understand.
That would work, as long as I don't have to open tvp and reload my file that would be great

Why a second button where one is enough ???

the message seems clear to me, " ... to continue using TVPA"
hitting the [OK] button should check again the dongle presence automatically !
otherwise, the message would be :
"... Re-plug your Dongle and re-start TVPA"


so +1 for this request, and thanks Mads to come with this issue,
it makes me loose a lot of times for a while, but I never take the time
to point it here ... thinking I am the only case.

for obvious security reasons, I don't think you will have a such button to run the test.

More easily, maybe can we check the dongle availability before loading the (tvpp) file.

I don't think I fully understand
When unplugging the dongle while working. an alert box will popup asking you for replugging your dongle. If you do that.
TVP will continue working.
This is not the behavior when starting TVP . the alert box popup I plugin the dongle but TVP closes anyway.
I would like the same behavior as when working in the software.
Is this a security problem?
then the startup dialog should say."Dongle not found TVP will shutdown. Please insert dongle and restart." and TVP should shut down before loading the TVP file. As you suggest Fabrice. But I would prefer it worked the same way as inside the software

in that case, (and I can understand a security reason), change the Alert message into something more decent (and true),
such as : "re-plug your Dongle and re-start tvpa",
instead of "... clic on OK to continue using tvpa" ... which is a false promise, as it always shut down !

also, if you can make the dongle checking before the project loading process (which would be cool) ,
why not to make it even before the plugins loading ...?
I have some configs with a lot of (heavy) plugins, and these plugins take their holly times to be completely installed,
but after this loading delaaaaaaayyyyyyy over, when you realise you have wait for ... nothing,
(tvpa shuting in your face because a usb detection problem f.i. ), it's a bit raging ...
but until today, I have survived !

ok, this needs to be fixed if it's buggy, or text changed if not true. (I'm not developper ...)

ok, I didn't think about the plug-ins.
