Seconded. I have the same problem. In the latest Version, I cannot activate DexCube and the settings are not changed when altered.

I have the same issue with r1805. What happens is this:
  • I open the config dialog and go to the plugins page. Dexcube is disabled, i.e. not ticked.
  • I click on the Dexcube checkbox.
  • The mouse cursor changes to busy for a split second and then back to normal.
  • The “Apply” Button becomes active.
  • But: The Dexcube list entry is still not ticked and the config and key shortcut buttons remain disabled.
  • Clicking “Apply” now has no effect.
After playing around somewhat I got it to work, unfortunately I’m not sure how. One interesting thing/workaround though: After a reboot the problem appeared again. I could solve it by:
  1. Close Dexpot
  2. Rename dexcube.exe to dexcube.exe_
  3. Start Dexpot with the now missing Dexcube
  4. Close Dexpot
  5. Rename dexcube.exe_ back
  6. Restart Dexpot
Now dexcube was disabled in the plugins list but could be enabled and works normally. Restarting Dexpot again did not make the problem re-appear.

Really strange … is there anything else I can do or test to pin down the problem?

I’m running
  • Win 7 Home Premium 64bit
  • AMD ATI Radeon HD 5770 with latest drivers v12.1
  • The DX web installer linked from the Dexcube page says DX is up to date.

Is Dexcube the only plugin affected by the problem?

If it happens again, enable the Dexpot log file, try to to activate Dexcube, and send me the log.

As far as I can tell Dexcube is indeed the only affected plugin. I enabled the log and will report back, if the problem appears again.

Found the probable cause! :) Apparently Dexcube has problems with directory junctions.

My %ProgramFiles% folder as usual is “C:\Program Files (x86)” which is ridiculously long and has spaces in it. That’s why I also have a junction called “C:\bin32” (created with mklink /j) that points to “C:\Program Files (x86)”. Dexpot is installed in %ProgramFiles%\Dexpot.

  1. When I start Dexpot via “C:\bin32\Dexpot\Dexpot.exe” the problem with Dexcube happens.
  2. When I start Dexpot via “C:\Program Files (x86)\Dexpot\Dexpot.exe” everything is fine.
I can reliably reproduce this behaviour on my Win7 64bit machine.

Some more observations:
  • It does not matter if user config in %appdata%\Dexpot and HKCU\Software\Dexpot is already there or not.
  • Enabling Dexcube via (2) then restarting Dexpot via (1) disables Dexcube.
  • Only Win7 64bit seems to be affected. I could not reproduce the problem at all on Win7 32bit with a similar junction setup.
I have no idea why all this happens. But I have a reliable workaround, so I’m happy. :)

I have this problem. It hasn't been solved in the latest version.

Here's the log file:

23:01:50> Registriere Hotkeys.
23:01:51> Schautostarte: C:\Program Files (x86)\Dexpot\plugins\Dexcube.exe
23:01:54> Lösche Hotkeys.

Has the plugin ever worked for you?
