[Slightly confused]

I think the simplest is to create two jobs: one for the latest and one for the beta.

Actually, I don't think you have the choice

[Export]

ok, What about the other questions above like export settings and app list and stuff for use on other machines?

 

By default, Ketarin stores its settings in your user profile. These are contained in a file named jobs.db (sqllite database).

 

But, you can create an empty file name jobs.db into Ketarin's folder (or copy your existing database into Ketarin's folder) and then Ketarin will use it. This allow to have a portable mode.

[An example regex and mini-tutorial -- finding multiple strings]

Try this one http://www.radsoftware.com.au/regexdesigner/

It's written in c#, but I haven't tried its behavior regarding your issue.

[Get n-th occurrence]

Well, check that http://fr.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=mlm5g0&s=6

[Get n-th occurrence]

use this regex:

myfile_(\d(?:\.\d+)+)\.zip

 

and chech the RTL check box

 

BTW, 'myfile_*.zip' won't work, in your example, it will match

<table>

<tr><td>myfile_1.0.1.zip<td></tr>

<tr><td>myfile_1.0.2.zip<td></tr>

<tr><td>myfile_1.4.3.zip<td></tr>

</table>

 

This could work

myfile_.*?.zip

[Get n-th occurrence]

Hi, guys,

didn't find the answer on the forum. So the problem is: i have several files on the host of the same programme. How can i download the latest one? (not by date, but rather by occurrence)

You can use the right to left check box when writing your regex.

[The Operation has Timed Out]

Most probably, the remote server is temporally down.

Try again later.

I agree that 2) is not ideal. I have a large folder that contains all setups and archives for my applications.

This is a waste of space as I almost never go back there to use them. But with hard drives that go over 2To nowadays, I don't feel this is a big issue.

 

Here's my settings for FreeFileSync (32bit version). It use a regex to get the last version number.

You can directly copy/paste this xml into Ketarin

It uses regular expressions, which are the best way to deal with changing urls. Checkout this free software to learn, test and improve your skills in regexes http://www.radsoftware.com.au/regexdesigner/

Hi

 

1.) green = the application has been checked and is no download is necessary

orange = the application has been updated (or requires an update if you selected Only check for update)

red = an error occurred while processing the application, you have more details in a summary window shown when all applications has been processed

 

2.) currently you can't.

This is an evolution that has been already asked before, but I don't know if Floele (the developer) has worked on it.

[Need some help with commands]

I recently discovered that dos redirection can handle nul.

So appending your command line with

> nul

will make it totaly silent.

No more &&, ping or sleep.

[Next Release of Ketarin?]

1. native 7zip support

Sure this could be done, but what would really be the benefit?

You would still need to write your command line

2. instead of checking the actual downloaded file for update it should check from its own database of what was last downloaded , not the actual physical file

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.

[Unhandled Exc:String could not be parsed as XML]

OK, this has nothing to do with your job.

I tried with it, then we one of mine, the same happened again and again.

 

Flo, apparently, the problem comes from Ketarin using a bad xml format when performing a xmlrpc call (the exception is thrown in XmlRpcSerialiser.cs line 164: xtw.Flush() but I don't see why

Here's the stack trace

[What does "Use the following variable as indicator for changes" do?]

By default, Ketarin checks if the date or size has changed between your local file and the remote one.

If there's a difference, the file is downloaded.

Sometimes, it's not desirable (the file might not actually changed), so you can use this setting to indicate a variable's name which value's change will trigger the download.

So, if you created a variable called version , put version in this setting.

[Unhandled Exc:String could not be parsed as XML]

Did you try several times, at different times?

Otherwise, could you post the job your trying to share?

[Recuva]

You're right, this is the setting that makes the difference.

I totally forgot about this http referer thing, as I never had the opportunity to use it ... until today.

Thanks

[Recuva]

I have the same issue with recuva portable.

And since yesterday, the same happens for defragler portable.

http://www.piriform.com/defraggler/download/portable/downloadfile

 

@CybTekSol: did you try the url from Ketarin or from your web browser? Because from a browser it works for me, but not from Ketarin.

[&& not doing anything]

Hi,

 

I don't know why && doesn't work, but did you try without? I never use it when having multiple commands to launch and everything run fine.

 

If when using & you have trouble, this is because using it causes Ketarin to not wait for the command termination to process and launch the next one. Thus, the del line is executed before manual.html gets extracted.

 

Actually, the best in your case is to simply use 7z built-in filtering feature:

7z x {file} -o"{root}\{category}\" -y -x!manual.html

[Need some help with commands]

Edit: Still there is one app that freezes! :S kind of weird... all the other works good now

...

Executing command: 7z x C:\PortableApps\Comprimidos\smplayer-portable-0.6.8.7z -o"C:\PortableApps\" -y &"

wouldn't it be the trailing " at the end of the command line?

 

What I´m figuring out now is how to move the files with the time delay/pause... as this post points out

http://ketarin.canneverbe.com/forum/vie … 32&p=2

You can use this portable trick:

ping -n TIME_TO_WAIT 127.0.0.1>nul

where TIME_TO_WAIT is the number of seconds you want to wait + 1 (e.g. ping -n 2 127.0.0.1>nul waits 1 second)

This is not very elegant, but it works everywhere and doesn't require an additional tool.

 

About dos commands, to forget rmdir /s /q "path" to quickly delete a folder structure.

[Need some help with commands]

The first is that 7zipped packages don´t get extracted at all, even the 7Z.exe process hangs out, freezing too Ketarin, till I terminate it. Let me do some explain, I´m using the console version of 7zip, kind of the same config of the "Tech Toolkit 2.0" with the "7z x {file} -o"{root}PortableApps\{appname}\" -y commands after downloading.

I have no idea where the issue comes from, is a bug of 7zip or I´m not using the proper commands, hope you can explain it to me.

There's a bug that happens when the archive contains a lot of files. This generates a lot of message into the console. Too much actually and Ketarin hangs, as well as 7zip.

 

You can check out this thread: http://ketarin.canneverbe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=268

 

The solution is then to append & to your command line

 7z x "{file}" -aoa -o"{root}PortableApps\{appname}\" -y & 

The bottom side is that the 7z output messages won't appear into Ketarin's console, but that's not a very big deal.

 

Edit:

I just noticed -aoa into your command line. This means nothing for 7z. A typical command line to extract an archive would look like

7z x -y -r -o"{install_root}\{category}\{appname}" "{file}"

However, I tested and it doesn't bother 7z

[Wonders about Ketarin's name]

Thanks

I've searched the forum before asking but did not think to look there.

[Registry usage]

I have noticed that Ketarin creates the registry key HKLM/Software/Cannaverbe

 

There's no value under it, so I assume it is not really useful.

 

Would it be possible to prevent Ketarin from creating it, so it'd become a "green" application?

[Wonders about Ketarin's name]

Sometimes, I ask myself some stupid questions, like what "Ketarin" can possibly means?

 

And about the icon (which is very nice by the way), I understand the circle arrow. But why the two leafs?

 

Just curious

[downloaded file corrupted]

Is there still a problem?

No thank you.

It was an other false alarm due to sourceforge changes.

[Cancel]

I guess I won't be easy. Application lookup is done in a separated thread and there's a good chance this one is not cancelable.

[downloaded file corrupted]

Thanks

 

I had my job working until a new version was released.

This release changed the url. I modified it without success, got almost nuts.

And finally, I come back to the original url ...
