So what exactly is the problem with doing what you have shown? I do kinda have a similar although less complex layout.

In order to do a bulk modifications of the settings you can export your app list to XML and modify it in any text editor.

Well, now that I read it that sounded a bit hostile. Sorry for that. Anyway to see the version for all applications you need to scrape it first. For information how to do that you might wanna read the stuff at the following links: http://cdburnerxp.se/help/kb/20 http://ketarin.canneverbe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=84 http://ketarin.canneverbe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=293 http://ketarin.canneverbe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=315

For version you don't use, {ver}, {v} but use {version}. This way FileHippo jobs will also display the version. And you won't look like a very lazy person not wanting to type extra letters. And follow standards for templates.

You can just write the template once and reuse it for all new jobs.

For this one, I agree this could be useful in situations like yours, when the packages are not shared between users or machines. You have my vote. I think an idea was floating around here somewhere that when CIV was specified it was used to check if the file should be download, not the file presence on the disk. Or something to that extent.

This was made as a feature request to behave exactly this way. Otherwise selecting all and pressing "Update" would just update all, including disabled.

There already is. From documentation:

Then again, this is absolutely different from what CybTekSol requested.

How VERY specific can it be? I mean all I do is use after-download commands to execute an external tool.

I mean any event that would trigger Errors window to appear. /error switch would not be useful for me in any way because I use a custom logger application. Again, I use custom logger application so I would personally prefer a variable which I can use in "Execute after all updates" command. It may even be something as {summary:errors}, {summary:successful} etc.

Bump. I really miss this feature. I am running Ketaring on home server box and I don't know whether or not there were any update errors until I decide to do my maintenance routine. Which is usually once a month.

Well, personally my programming practice shows that shortening variable names leads to more headache in the end.

Yeah, I easily chose google because it had the most relevant results. Bing was all about keratin. I've tried to use Bing a few times for regular searches and the results were hardly good. Also the layout of the search results Suck. From capital S.

I am also in favor of the idea.

Or you can simply put it near Ketarin's exe. In this case Ketarin will become portable.

Actually ignoring placeholders values (and options) could be the way to do it... but that placeholder information is removed when an application is created. When you update the tempalte you have the template data. The current value is just added to the list of placeholder options (if it's not already present there) and is selected by default. I meant referrer, sorry.

Wow, didn't even notice it. It must be the app which downloaded definition updates then. And I was wondering which one was that Thanks.

You mean what do I change when updating the template? Variables, CIV and redirect. I doubt anything else is being changed by anyone.

There happens a time when the webmaster decides to totally re-layout the site and you have to update your app entry. Or two. Or 20 of them. Which all relied on a single template. Currently, as far as I know, the quickest way is to simply delete an entry and re-create it from scratch. Not really convenient. Now I remember the discussion from some time ago about implementing such a feature. Someone from out template masters () have said that he tweaks template for most app entries so just auto-updating them won't work. While I personally like the method of just keeping template XMLs in some folder and when I update them all entries update automatically I understand that it won't work for everyone. What I suggest is that we have an ability to simply paste updated template XML. All placeholders which match current values take default values from current entry. Otherwise you fill in the blanks manually. While not the most quickest way to update your 100+ entries it sure beats the re-creation of each entry by hand. Then again, I do love the auto-update version too

Just updated to 1.8 beta and something's broken.

Ketarin seems to be getting popular by the minute I think it's a great use for such an application. http://www.whatsmypass.com/tech-toolkit-10

Do you have .NET Framework?

For example this feed - http://bash.org.ru/rss/

Like that? Or how would you make the statement more clear? OK, I feel dumb for not noticing it. Already tried OPML? I was actually speaking of something like "Import from Google Reader" button but that may work too, I'll try. Feel free to tell me more about the habits you are missing. First of all I have a Firefox addon which checks if I have new feeds available. Second it's how the feeds are shown by default. If you can duplicate Expanded view of Reader with little Love/Hate buttons where Reader's Star button is (upper left corner) or where the feed item controls are (Add tags, Mail to friend etc.) that would be very helpful. Like FranciscoR said getting the output as RSS feed would be cool too because I can still use both your service and Google Reader. BTW I just tried and the service doesn't seem to support Unicode (Cyrllic to be exact). Which is a big bummer for me.
