I use Wakoopa to track my software usage. As well as desktop apps it can track which webapps you're using within a browser, so I figured why not track which apps you're using within DOSBox?

Unfortunately the Wakoopa dev team aren't focussing on supporting new (or rare 😀 ) platforms, at least they gave me an honest answer at http://www.getsatisfaction.com/wakoopa/topics … ox_as_platforms

What I'd like to find out is if anyone on the DOSBox Team has ideas on how to make it easy for Wakoopa to support DB, and get in touch with them. The way I see it what needs to happen is that DB needs to make the current EXE or COM filename available for inspection, in a similar fashion to how the Wakoopa tracker can find the browser's current URL. Then, it'll be up to the DOSBox player/Wakoopa user to update the "kq4.exe" entry to read "King's Quest IV" and attach screenshots, etc.

Feel free to add your support or input on the GS thread linked above so the Wakoopa team can see it. If you haven't used Wakoopa before, you may want to start at http://wakoopa.com/software/dosbox 😁

Well your not going to see anyone on the DOSBox dev team doing this since they are concerned with game compatibility and nothing else.

I can't imagine it would be too hard to grab the currently running executable in DOSBox especially since it's shown in the DOSBox title bar.

This really isn't something the DOSBox devs need to bother with.

So if Wakoopa can grab text out of a title bar then that's all you need.
