Merging your fork with Appnor's WinMTR

Open unforgettableid opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

Hi!

WinMTR 0.92 was released by Dragos MANAC, of Appnor MSP S.R.L.

Appnor still maintains a WinMTR website. When you do a Google search for [ WinMTR ], Appnor's WinMTR website comes up first. (Your GitHub repository comes up sixth.)

Appnor's website includes a little bit of useful documentation.

Their website also includes some bad advice: it advises users to use the "Contact Us" form for bug reports and feature requests. This keeps these reports private, not public, which is problematic.

Your fork of WinMTR is newer and better. Do you remember?: Have you ever contacted Dragos about possibly combining the two projects, or even about taking over maintainership? Did Dragos reply?

I never tried "yet" and don't care that much about it... to me... my changes aren't quite complete yet and need further adjustments... maybe a rewrite to drop MFC and support GCC/MinGW builds. At least, I'd like a proper ICMP implementation instead of relying on the Windows stack which doesn't provide that much control over it. (though we'll need both implementations since raw ICMP requires a raw socket = admin rights)

I'd say it's up to the user to use "official" WinMTR builds which might look dead, or a community released version anyone can participate on.

P.S. another vision of mine is a console based WinMTR^^ much like the original MTR on GNU/Linux... all integrated into the same executable of course (which is possible if you ignore a minor hitch...)

this is what i need 😍 an option to set max cycles and export the result to an json or xml file

I said "vision" :P there's no eta. for that... Has the GNU/Linux version those JSON / XML exports?

shure! and many more ;) see the man pages https://www.mankier.com/8/mtr

a simple Cmd Version is done by smilepleeeaz as a fork of your repo https://github.com/smilepleeeaz/WinMTR

but i think an live display @ wincmd is not easy to make pathping make the measurement @ background also
