[How i do my Auto Installs from a portable drive]

 

 

previouslocation attribute in the xml file.

 

How do you use this element from the XML? I'd think you could just use relative paths and be fine.

[Unable to download some FileHippo apps]

Didn't test myself, but will include this in the next release, assuming it just works fine

 

Thanks for debugging.

[database readOnly]

Did you check the file properties of the database file? Maybe you accidentially made it read-only. Or you placed it on a write-protected storage.

[SSL/TLS Errors?]

OK I think I fixed this for the next version.

[Other Location Update Check?]

You want to use the file name for version comparison? I don't think that is possible at this point.

[SSL/TLS Errors?]

Hm actually Ketarin already has some ignore bad SSL certificates etc. mechanism in place. I have no idea why it still doesn't like this website, will try to get some insight on that.

[Global Variable as User Agent]

I'll implement this for the next version.

[Ketarin 1.7.0]

You could do that. Not sure if it gets a new GUID in this process, but if it does, it will work (otherwise you have to create one manually).

[Ketarin 1.7.0]

This happens when you downloaded the app in the first place. You can't share what you did not create

[Ketarin 1.7.0]

Yep.

['Database File is Locked']

Hm can you post your database maybe so that I can try to reproduce it? Any particular app is fails at or does it only happen randomly? Afaik you are the first Ketarin user so far experiencing this issue.

 

And BTW: Quite interesting to know Ketarin is used by that project extensively. Nice find

['Database File is Locked']

Hi,

 

can you reproduce the error or did it only happen once?

[Ketarin 1.7.0]

I just released Ketarin 1.7.0 (shouldn't be any different than the last beta).

 

I will empty the online database now and make it so that deleted apps can no longer be re-uploaded. I'd appreciate if everyone could check if the database integration is working well and we need anything else to make it work properly.

 

Oh and please re-upload all applications that should be included in the online database

[Ketarin 1.7.0 b2]

@Aeirex: I'm open to suggestions

 

The question is, however, whatfor/why would non tech-savvy users use Ketarin? If we know a scenario, we could optimise it.

[Ketarin 1.7.0 b2]

Well, removing one part of the program will not make the other one magically better

 

Feel free to post your concerns if you feel the downloading part lacks of something.

[Ketarin FAQ]

Fixed the links.

 

Edit: No actually even the right domain does not work. This links still refer to the old forum software we had and need to be updated entirely (= we need to find the right topics).

[Ketarin 1.7.0 b2]

Yep, contributions welcome.

 

BTW sorry for my absence lately, I have to take care of a few things with CDBurnerXP at the moment and will work on finalising Ketarin 1.7 shortly

[Ketarin 1.7.0 b2]

Renaming afterwards is a bit difficult, but we could add such a feature at a later point of time.

[Ketarin 1.7.0 b2]

Another issue I see before we clear the current database is the naming convention. We need to settle on some way how apps should be named, otherwise it'll get messy soon.

 

We could for example use

 

Application Name 1.0.0 [beta|alpha] (English)

for 32 bit apps and

 

Application Name 1.0.0 [beta|alpha] 64-bit (English)

for 64 bits. What do you think?

[Ketarin 1.7.0 b2]

Can you have remove the PreviousLocation block and ensure that the ExecuteCommand is empty?

 

Changed the server side now so that this information is removed on upload.

 

The variables-stuff is hard to do at the moment.

[Ketarin 1.7.0 b2]

I can search just fine for "AVG". Maybe it's limited for guests though.

[Ketarin 1.7.0 b2]

XML is formatted properly now.

[Ketarin 1.7.0 b2]

Maybe I should rebuild my database to create a new unique GUID?

 

Yes, you should.

 

 

 

unintentional GUID collisions could also occur. 128-bits of entropy is nice, but 256 would be even better

 

It's not unlikely. It's pretty much impossible. Now consider how many Ketarin users there are and how likely it would be that two of those generate the same GUID by accident.

 

 

 

but I'm a security guy and I see the worst case scenario in everything I look at.

 

We are talking about a rather non-critical consequences though, so I consider it overkill for now.

[Ketarin 1.7.0 b2]

The GUID is part of the database. Unless you give your database to other persons (you should not, that's what export features exist for), no one will get to know your GUID.

 

I'm not sure how your "two way authentication" is meant.
