Hi Flo, thanks but I still don't know just what is expected. What's the variable? --appyface

Thanks Flo! We all appreciate your consideration of all the ideas. Best regards, --appyface

Thanks Flo, just want to see what is currently available, it is hard to piece together from all the separate conversations. Regarding custom column, I activated it with a checkbox. It shows up now but is blank. What do I do next? I don't know what it is supposed to display. Thanks and regards, --appyface

I do like to sort the Ketarin display according to last updated date/time, category, etc. I have added a LOT of entries to Ketarin and it does take a fair bit of time to go through them on an update now. Is it possible to have Ketarin respect the current sort order and start sequentially with the topmost entry? Also is it possible to limit Ketarin to one or more categories? (command line invoke or other way?) I know can highlight and right-click to update specific entry/entries. But my list is so long now.... The way I've set up my categories, my entries are grouped into frequently-changing/highly desirable category, then not so important, etc. all the way down to category I expect will hardly ever change (drivers for old hardware etc.) Would like to be able to invoke Ketarin to check my high-priorities items very often, and the lesser priority items on a more infrequent schedule. I can use task manager or other tool if I can control this with INI files or command line. Thanks as always for consideration of the feature requests for Ketarin! Best regards, --appyface

I'm a little lost as to what the most current version of Ketarin can do or has as implemented features. Could the documentation be moved here/and or get a link from here? And be updated to give list of all current features available? I did see a couple of posts about custom variables and custom columns, but I don't know what they refer to. Or how to go about using (or even know if I'd want to use them). Thanks as always, --appyface

So it is already available in the latest download of Ketarin? Cool I'll give it a try... thanks! --appyface

Neat article, thanks Flo! Just to make sure I understand the use of the implementation in Ketarin. I refer to the constructs shown in the article, with {} (curly braces) around them, same as I would a variable I defined myself in Ketarin? (With the f: prefix if I want to refer to file's modified date rather than the system date) So my constructed file save path, for the example I referenced in above post, is this (if I wanted to save the file to my t:\somedir directory): t:\somedir\utilities_{f:yyyyMMdd.zip and the actual file name saved on disk becomes: t:\somedir\utilities_20081112.zip ???? Please correct my understanding of how to use the new constructs if this is incorrect. Thanks!!! and regards, --appyface Edit: Whoops it occurs to me I might instead need to use: t:\somedir\utilities_{f:yyyy}{f:MM}{f:dd}.zip True? TIA :-)

Hi Flo, I have a regular download with the same download name over and over, and no versions to scrape for this file. The version is really only that the author mentions on another webpage, an updated date like "Updated: November 12, 2008". This is the only way I know the file has been updated. (I use WatchThatPage to monitor my webpages for updates. Great service with few outages over the years, I'm very glad to give these guys a plug. Unpaid and unsolicited endorsement, I'm just a happy customer.) Right now I manually download this "versionless file" and I add a sortable date to the downloaded name, e.g. I save "utilities.zip" as "utilities_20081112.zip" since I can see "November 12, 2008" on the webpage with the change information. For Ketarin, I know I can fiddle with variables to do this. But since Ketarin also preserves the server's modified date on the downloaded file when possible (thank you!!! thank you!!!), could Ketarin have a built-in variable with the modified date? I would like to pick that variable apart with the typical date formatting sub-variables: YYYY and YY (with and without century) MM and MMM (numeric with leading zero or 3-char month name) DD and DDD (numeric with leading zero or 3-char day name) For me the modified time field is not required but if it is easy to do it could be useful, if someone is trying to construct a date/time stamp for the filename, such as: yyyymmdd_hhmmss While I'm here asking, it would be handy to have the receiving PC's system's date (and possibly time) available with subformatting variables as well... Sometimes that's the only "version" available to use for the file. Thanks as always for consideration of the ever-growing wish list for Ketarin. Best, --appyface

Hi Flo, I *thought* somewhere in the other thread ("Introducing Ketarin") you had mentioned adding some more built in variables to Ketarin, perhaps date, time etc. However, I can't find that information and the Screenshots/Documentation page only mentions {root} and {file}. I may not be remembering correctly though... Is the documentation (screenshots, etc.) link up-to-date? Could we have a reference here? Would make it easier to find, thanks in advance for consideration. Best, --appyface
