Couple Questions and Cosmetic Issue

#1

1) Should I be concerned about running EPG123 while WMC client maintenance is running? Other than some vague notion of cleanup, I don't know what client maintenance does or what files it reads/writes.

2) For EPG123 1.2.10.0 you write for this release: "Progress bar is smoother in operation and will notify user that closing the form will abort the update". Where does this notification appear? On the progress bar? I have run version 1.2.10.0 a couple of times now and I don't see this notification.

3) There is a very trivial cosmetic issue with EPG123. Let me explain. When you run EPG123 from the desktop icon and after you click "Save & Execute" two progress dialogs are displayed in succession. The first dialog is supposed to be labeled "EPG123 Update Progress" and contains two progress bars. The second dialog is supposed to be labeled "EPG123 Guide Import Progress" and contains one progress bar. By supposed to be I mean that on my HTPC (Screen resolution 2560x1440) these dialog windows have blank labels. The progress bars and text within the dialogs don't appear to be affected. Only the labels are blank. This is caused by setting "the size of text and other items" to medium - 125% from small - 100% (the default). Set this back to small the labels reappear. The progress dialogs from a version 1.2.10.0 run are attached.

1) I think it would be best if EPG123 does not run at the same time. Too much accessing of the database increases the risk of corrupting it (based on my unscientific observations).

2) The notification about closing the form will only appear if you hit the 'X' button to close the form. At that point, a message box will appear.

3) This is the second report of this behavior and is a little surprising to me. The form title font and size are controlled by the OS and the theme. I don't recall changing anything in the forms that could have influenced this behavior, but I will look. Thank you.
