It should work now mkoepke... I edited the template above.
-
603 of 797 forum members with NO posts Flo, the majority of which have spam links AFAIK. Time for that 'broom script' you mentioned a few months ago... eeh?
-
Add another to that Shawn... SF uses ; instead of ' or " to envelop URLs... They changed it months ago which forced me to alter my template and do a global search & replace on my xml. Stuff like this is why I use any other possible source. By contrast, I developed a SnapFiles template 18 months ago and have not had to make a single tweak that I can remember! So [^"';\s<>]+ to include SF's method... I don't use the above methods much as I like the regex to be more selective limiting the capture to only one possible URL per page on complex sites such as SF and others. Just my preference.
Correction: They added it (
some months ago and just to some apps such as FileZilla... just another example of the SF inconsistencies that make a 100% successful template a pipe dream IMHO. -
Understood, however these two apps consume little resources and fill a void that should have been addressed by Microsoft which is why I use them on all PCs I configure and service.
-
Yeah... I look forward to a time when Flo has the time to 'pin it down'. As much as I dislike SourceForge, there are some apps that are NOT available anywhere else.
-
If you use some other OS then maybe there is a third party program that does something similar.
These two will help in WinXP:
and
Both are a couple of the first apps I install on clients XP PCs due to their usefullness...
Addendum: I just verified that this works beautifully with Sizer... I created two entries to divide the total screen height by 2 and sized the 'main window' and the 'log window' in a few seconds. For my screen resolution, I created 1440x435 (Top) and 1440x435 (Bottom)... adjust accordingly for your screen resolution.

Regex is your friend Omniferum... get Expresso and dig in and then you will see the power for your customization needs.

I researched this many months ago and if my memory serves me correctly, it has to do with Ketarin's inability to handle the server-side method of the file delivery for these particular apps. I think we have discussed this before and I believe we used a Firefox extension called 'HTTPFox' to track it down.
UPDATE: I'm wondering if Ketarin is able to parse %2C that exists in the download URL that my template captures... %2C = , which I have NOT encounterd in any other app's download URL that I can recall. Is it possible that this is causing the download to 'time-out' in Ketarin Flo? Otherwise... it is probably the 'Set Cookie' that I see in my 'HTTPFox' 'response-header' capture in Firefox.

I experienced similar issues to 'appyface' yesterday Flo... ummmmm?
-
VERY interesting indeed 'Tomorrow'... will have to experiment with this one to satisfy my 'geekiness'.

You can play with these to see if it can be tweaked for your needs:
(?:href=("|'))([a-z]+://.*?\.(?:exe|7z|zip|zip2|bz|bz2|bzip|gz|gzip|jar|lha|lzh|lzw|pak|rar|sit|sit!|sit5|sitd|sithqx|sitx|tz|wsz|cab|msi|bin|img|iso|xpi|pbp))(?:"|')(?:href=)(?:"|')(((\w+:\/\/([\w@][\w.:@]+))?\/?[\w\s_\.?=%&=\-@/$,]*\.[a-z]{2,3}))(?:"|')You can place what I call anchor variables that you define within the regex to limit their capture, i.e. :
{anchor1} = 'string that always occurs on app page'
{anchor2} = 'another string'
{anchor3] = 'possibly a preferred file extension instead of the choices above'
Note: I highly recommend 'Expresso', for testing and tweaking regular expressions... just search Expresso here in the forum for more info.

@appyface,
I'm obviously not Shawn... but these are exports based on my SF template which is slow but reliable...
First... the ZIP version:

@appyface,
Good to see you back... hope you are well.
As for a SF template... there are so many site inconsistencies, the best template I've ever been able to develop is at best 80-90% without tweaking. I avoid SF like the plague unless there are no other options!The reason I have never posted the template here is that every time FranciscoR and I posted/discussed it here, they would globally replace html code and break the template... coincidence or not... I'll never know. This post of mine for ffdshow (x64) will give you an idea of my template's design which relies on what I term 'anchors'.
If this looks like something you can work with, I will e-mail the full template to you directly. All you have to do is import the template, supply information as requested by the 'placholder' prompts (they are described when prompted) and then tweak the regex as required and test. The template will at the very least get you 'in the ballpark'... so to speak.
I will do the same for others as well if they post back here...
Regards,
CybTekSol

I haven't tested this so I cannot help with it... Flo will have to answer this one. I use my templates to clean-up the version format for me so I can simply use {version} for the custom column.

These will give you something to play with:

@Tomorrow,
I have a semi-reliable template for Sourceforge but I have chosen not to post it as every time we (FranciscoR and myself) have in the past, SF changed their site code almost immediately... 3 or 4 times if I recall correctly. Flo seems to think it was coincidence... maybe. See this thread... I avoid SF if their are any other options as their site inconsistencies make for a app entry maintenance nightmare... don't have time for it.
-
The reason that I use (yyyy-mm-dd) is that you do not have to sort by date... my default sort is always name... so similarly named files with that format in any folder will already be sorted by date if you know what I mean.
-
I'm happy with what ever you decide Flo... I've grown use to split now so there are other features that we have discussed that seem more important for the near future.
-
This would definitely make life easier for me on a couple dozen or so apps Flo... count me in!
-
Just banned two more spammers... very frustrating as they are beginning to taunt us now with posts in this thread and other threads without adding anything of substance to the discussion. This has forced me to edit my post at the top of this thread.
-
@FireStorm,
All you have to do is spend a little time in research on the forum and it will become clear that it can indeed be done with Ketarin. I am doing it with more than 1300 apps currently in a very sophisticated folder structure. Dig in and enjoy the ride!
-
You may of course delete them, but that's rather tedious work.
Unfortunately... moderators do not have the option of deleting a user in the 'admin panel'... only to ban them, which means they still appear in the user list and still have their spam urls intact for google indexing.
-
This is due to a typo on CNet's behalf... try the modified version of the template above to compensate for it.
-
This is exactly what I had noticed of late... VERY frustrating. I do believe some changes are in order but the final decision is up to Flo of course.
Your thoughts Flo?

Lookin' GOOD so far Flo... THANKS as always!
