ok, i'm not a c# coder, but went digging and found this in Updater.cs baseCommand = UrlVariable.Replace(baseCommand, "file", "\"" + job.PreviousLocation + "\""); so it appears as if that field is going into the {file} variable as you say, but it isn't being displayed in the client? i did find a section where the comments indicated it was faking a download to fill custom variables.. but since the previous location is stored in a local db and is referring to a localfile, shouldn't it be possible to extract this on application startup? in theory it could be displayed when completely offline.. no matter, i'm sure you know your code better than I

hmm.. that was way too obvious, so I hadn't tried it however it doesn't work.. I have just added {file} to Custom2 in settings and done both a check and a full update and nothing shows up before or after.. not even a filename?? in the sql database there is a field called PreviousLocation, i'm guessing its where the "delete old version" code gets the file name to delete.. is there a standard builtin variable that can read that field for each app? if not, can that be added to a future release?

With the 1.0.6 beta, the second custom column is getting closer to what I am after.. I just need a way to extract "PreviousLocation" field from the jobs table and include it as a variable in CustomValue2.. I can handle the regex to strip out the unnecessary file paths etc.. but from what i can tell that field cannot be used as a variable.. {previouslocation} {previousversion} {oldversion} and many others i've tried don't work Thoughts?

YES PLEASE!! I don't run ketarin regularly, so when I do.. I want to see just how far the apps I am checking have progressed.. if it is a dotpoint upgrade, I may not bother to download.. if a whole new version has been released, I want to know about it.. My memory is good, but not good enough to remember every version of the apps I have installed
