Yeah, I guess expected as I compiled the plugin with VS2015. Perhaps if one compiled the plugin with a lower VS version, it would work on those as well?

[zig-for]

Negative - the projects won't downgrade back to VS2013.

[amaiorano]

Does this also fix the same problem with VS 2012 install? Also, can we get a new release with this fix in it? Thanks!

[zig-for]

I don't have 2012 installed at the moment (2008, 2013, 2015 is too much already!)

I agree, 1.5.1 would be smart.

[amaiorano]

Ah, well I assume if it installs on 2008, 2013, and 2015, it should install on 2012 as well :)

Would you happen to have a .vsix available for me to try?

[zig-for]

I don't have it installed on 2008 (only have Express, no plugins allowed).

This might work. I just ran 'makedist.cmd' and it seems to come out ok. :) NiftyPerforce.zip

[amaiorano]

Thanks, A-t48, I can confirm that it installs for VS 2012, 2013, and 2015.

Unrelated, but there's still the "toolbar bug" (Nifty somehow hijacks/merges into another extension's toolbar, and the nifty buttons are all disabled. This bug has been there for a long time).

Anyway, thanks!

[zig-for]

@amaiorano do you have a workaround for that toolbar bug? I'm hitting it at home, and it's causing it to be impossible to configure nifty.

[amaiorano]

Unfortunately, no, I don't have a workaround for this toolbar bug. Sad to say, but despite having used Nitfty for many years, I've moved on to another plugin that seems to work well enough :/
