Sorry, I had a bad case of flu (body temperature 39C for a week) so kinda forgot about it. Yes, I tried going step by step exactly as you wrote it and I am unable to reproduce the issue.

Works like a charm. Thanks Flo. Maybe you could consider this request for the next version ?

I've been running Ketarin from version first and have never had any problems upgrading.

Maybe it's worth firing them up an email asking why they did it. Maybe it's not due to Ketarin. Some blacklisting gone bad for example. I do remember blocking half of AOL after having to deal with that particular idiot on the forums I was administering. Nothing bad came out of it in that case though, everyone was happy to have less AOLers. But it your case maybe it's something akin to this what happened.

Well, I guess the best policy of not getting banned is not to abuse those sites. I mean checking updates on hourly basis won't do you much good but will make you quite visible in server logs.

From the documentation: By default, Ketarin will create a database file in %appdata%/Ketarin, so that it is a per-user database. You can also move this file to the application path (where Ketarin.exe is located), then it will always use the database from the startup location and is thus suited for USB sticks or the like.

Hmm... It is kinda weird. The database file should be created in the shell's current directory (in case you cd'ed into Ketarin's dir it should be in Ketarin's dir). It is so for me. Have no idea why it's created one level up for you. It really shouldn't do that. Could you, maybe, upload your Ketarin folder somewhere so we could try to reproduce it using your install ?

Just tried to reproduce it by replicating appyface's Ketarin location (D:\Program_Files_NOINST\Ketarin-1.0.5.254\). Still nothing. New db is 10kb in size. What are you using to launch Ketarin ? Cmd.exe ?

I execute Ketarin.exe from withing Ketarin's directory. Just tried it like this C:\Users\Администратор> Desktop\Ketarin\Ketarin.exe /DATABASE:test.db and it still works.

I have created it with a template I posted here but here's the XML anyway: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <Jobs> <ApplicationJob xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Guid="21108294-b073-4d37-9c2f-ff4c42aba640"> <DownloadBeta>Default</DownloadBeta> <DownloadDate xsi:nil="true" /> <CheckForUpdatesOnly>false</CheckForUpdatesOnly> <VariableChangeIndicator /> <CanBeShared>true</CanBeShared> <ShareApplication>true</ShareApplication> <ExclusiveDownload>false</ExclusiveDownload> <HttpReferer /> <Variables> <item> <key> <string>application_name</string> </key> <value> <UrlVariable> <RegexRightToLeft>false</RegexRightToLeft> <VariableType>Textual</VariableType> <Regex /> <TextualContent>CrystalCPUID</TextualContent> <Name>application_name</Name> </UrlVariable> </value> </item> <item> <key> <string>version</string> </key> <value> <UrlVariable> <RegexRightToLeft>false</RegexRightToLeft> <VariableType>RegularExpression</VariableType> <Regex>(?:row\"\>{application_name}.+?\<td\>)(.+?)(?:\<)</Regex> <Url>http://crystalmark.info/?lang=en</Url> <Name>version</Name> </UrlVariable> </value> </item> </Variables> <ExecuteCommand /> <ExecutePreCommand /> <Category /> <SourceType>FixedUrl</SourceType> <PreviousLocation>D:\Distrib\{category}\CrystalCPUID_v4.15.2.451.zip</PreviousLocation> <DeletePreviousFile>true</DeletePreviousFile> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <FileHippoId /> <LastUpdated>2009-03-29T21:09:04.0071911</LastUpdated> <TargetPath>{DEST_DIR}\{category}\{appname}_v{version}.{url:ext}</TargetPath> <FixedDownloadUrl>http://release.crystaldew.info/{application_name:replace: :}</FixedDownloadUrl> <Name>CrystalCPUID</Name> </ApplicationJob> </Jobs>

Yes, I can confirm that a newly create db has jobs, settings and variables tables.

Not an exception, no. Variables just aren't imported. No messages, exceptions or log entries are shown. Nope to that too. The job imports fine and runs fine (well, shows Section=blablabla error because I've used ServU but still). Maybe the problem in your specific settings file ? Mine is very simple. I'll attach it just so that you could try it out. <?xml version="1.0"?> <dictionary> <item> <key> <string>AuthorGuid</string> </key> <value>

Yeah, it seems I was using 235 version (it's now my non-main Ketarin install so I forgot to update it). Log message is gone with the new version however all other issues are still reproducible.

Settings did not import completely. None of my global variables have been imported although I got no exceptions. Oh and the log file said that database backup could not be created. EDIT to your EDIT: Both my settings.xml and servu.xml were imported from a directory one level higher then Ketarin. Ketarin's location: ~/Desktop/Ketarin (sorry for *nix ~, it's shorted and easier ) XML location: ~/Desktop/

No errors in the log. In fact it's empty. Application I want to share is "CrystalCPUID". Currently there are only "CrystalDiskInfo" and "CrystalDiskMark" in the online database (not shared by me).

I tried creating a blank servu_test.db (using Ketarin.exe /DATABASE:servu_test.db) and importing ServU from XML with no errors. The "The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine" is reproducible even in such case.

Yup, same here. Vista SP1 .NET 3 SP1, Windows Server 2003 SP2 .NET 3 SP1.

Flo I was wondering when does online application database update: immediately after I click "Share" and then OK or after some time ? I'm just wondering since I've shared a few applications and they are yet to appear in the online search.

Last update: 03/29/09 Known limitations: CrystalMark 2004 must be entered as "CrystalMark 2004" (with space, without RC3).

Yes, it works. Thank you. Now just to cross my fingers and hope they don't change the site layout or version goes beyond 4 digits

I imported and tested your Samsung CLP-300 printer drivers XML export and it appears that the version capture configuration is no longer correct... the URL for version appears to be invalid from here. Try to correct that first and then see what happens. Ah' date=' they did it again. They've been changing the URL for 3rd time already and the only thing that changes is the language identifier (first it was just ru, then ua_ru and now just ua). So yeah, changed the URL and it works now. Although the strange thing is that Ketarin always showed the version to be 3.03 even with the incorrect URL but didn't actually replace it in the file path. Yeah, I know. Didn't bother to correct it since it's an old entry but now that you've noticed it I went and did correct it for correctness sake EDIT: Returned the favor

I decided to set up Ketarin to download BIOS updates to my mobo from Intel's download center. Well...when I looked at their HTML the idea came to a screeching halt. The page in question is this. I really don't see how I can get the latest version (0150 on the time I posted this). Getting the actual file is easy though: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/17348/eng/LF94510J.86A.{version}.EB.EXE Referer: httpDown=http://downloadmirror.intel.com/17348/eng/LF94510J.86A.{version}.EB.EXE&agr=&ProductID=2926&DwnldId=17348&strOSs=&OSFullName=〈=eng Any help would be greatly appreciated because I can't think of neither regex nor start/end match which will get me the version number.

First post is an old problem which was fixed long time ago (don't recall how or when). Now I have the similar problem (post #2). I decided not to create a separate thread for it (a mistake it seems ). So yeah first post problem was fixed, second post problem is actual. Sorry for the confusion

Not uTorrent either. It only reproduces with Samsung CLP-300 printer drivers (the latest XML I've posted). All other jobs work fine.

Flashes work fine. It was fixed a long time ago. I just decided not to start a new topic for the similar problem.
