Then is the univeral extractor working "in background"? If I do the same with 7z, it works fine. The copy commands do not execute before 7z finishes. This behaviour cannot be changed by Ketarin actually.

I just tried combining commands with &&. It works finr for me. If your command does not work, please reduce it to the smallest command possible which still shows the problem. Yours is a bit too much work to debug

Will add it to the next release.

I just tried it again with the command in your first post, and it works fine (that is, it waits). Note that waiting does *not* affect the other threads (if you update multiple applications). Typically, if you update just this one application, the "downloading arrow" should be visible as long as X2 is not closed.

I don't like the additional column idea actually. What's the purpose of the last idea? BTW, you can also select multiple applications and then update them per rightclick if you want to update some specific applications only.

Thanks for the kind comment You can just extract another variable, grabbing only the last part of the version number like \d\.\d\.([\d\.]+) Ketarin will use what's within the parenthesis.

Currently, I'd say that you have to save the variables before you can use them.

The problem is that Ketarin would have to ask for each download...since thex are threaded, you might get multiple error messages at once. Not nice.

Isn't it && rather for connecting commands?

If you know that everything is missing at the start of Ketarin, why don't you fix the download locations before? And what should it do then anyway? Nothing at all?

I'd say that's already possible in the latest version.

Nope, I didn't change the default behaviour. And actually, it works fine for me.

This is not (easily) possible, since Ketarin does the comparison based on a possibly already existing file. So if the downloaded files do not exist anymore, Ketarin doesn't know whether there is something new. Actually, this is intentional, because I'd want Ketarin to redownload a file if it doesn't exist anymore (for whatever reason).

Why do you care actually? I don't see a problem with having an 8bit version.

What is your download URL? By default, I do not use an "auto-referer" if the host is sourceforge.net.

Updates of Ketarin will affect the jobs.db. It's an SQLite database which needs occasional modifications when new features are added.

Yep. 256px is needed nowadays for Vista.

16, 32, 48 and 256 both 8bit and 32bit.

Yep, but I'll have to re-implement the currently used auto-redirection functionality => certain amount of work.

Indeed, I'd not so much like MD5 as security measure but rather to prevent corrupted downloads. If you need to retrieve an MD5 hash securely, you'll need an HTTPS connection. And currently, I don't know any application which offers such a secure hash retrieval. And yes, Ketarin ignores bad certificates. Since some sites have bad certificates but you still might want to download from such sites, this is necessary. All in all I don't think that Ketarin is suited for secure downloads, nor do I think that Ketarin should be responsible for that.

...in other words, I'd appreciate some comments on my suggestion.

I think so too, but this currently is a limitation in the .NET framework. It's certainly possible to create a workaround, but it's not trivial.

I use @icon sushi, and it works fine.

Well, the MD5 stuff is not implemented yet. It's just an idea

1) I just found a bug in Ketarin which would allow users to submit duplicate applications. I'll fix that for the next version and after that clean the database. I might actually even consider to disallow duplicates on the database or RPC level. 2) Might be worth a consideration
