  1. Thanks for this advice! I had an off again, on again relationship with Ketarin over the years, (mostly) because of sf. ​I knew it had to work somehow, but I didn't get it working till today. I found several threads of how to do sf, but most where outdated or with broken links or missing a detail. Then the solution is only four characters long... Thanks for making Ketarin great again :-) Thalon Edit: wow, I'm getting old.. Started using Ketarin the first time over 7 years ago..
  2. *Vote for it* It would also be appealing for the difference between Beta and Release-Versions of the same Programm. Thalon
  3. Hello! I'm fairly new to Ketarin, but I've spent dozens of hours with it this week and I really love it! But there are several things it could to better or at least would make it more userfriendly. I'll reference to similar requests as far as I found them Note: They are only roughly ordered by importance.. It would be nice to not only to be able to "Import..." a configuration (which updates the current one), but even to replace it completely. Background: I do share my XML-Files with friends and actually if I delete an application, export to XML and my friend imports it the deleted application is still there (even if it's missing in the XML). So to get a proper result he has always to delete all the apps before importing a new list. It would be nice to save the last values of variables to the exported XML, too. At the moment if I import an XML I do lose the Version-Information of downloads. (You might ask, why I don't use several databases. It's rather simple: I can't edit informations directly there. When sending the XML to a friend I'm removing some informations like "Previous Location" or "Last updates" and replace it with the informations of his database, so he don't loses his settings important for update*) It would be nice to not only be able to export via Commandline, but also to import it again. Default application template I've created a template with some placeholders I'm using for new applications (via Import). It would be nice if I could use this via the "Add new application"-Button. I know there is a "Save as default"-Button, but this way I can't use the placeholders, can I? I will also support the request for the link to the Apps website I've used the first Custom-Value column to show the Version-Information, but some of my Tools aren't versionized and therefore there is only {version}. It would be nice if it would be empty in this case (I know this can be workarounded with an empty global variable with the same name). Could it be possible to watch version-strings without adding the need of a binary-download? There are some apps I can't find a proper download-link (e.g. from MediaFire), but it would be nice to be notified if version changes, so I can do it manually (especially nice in combination with going to the download-site via context-menu). I know this can also be done with a Webmonitor, but I like having similar things together. It would be nice if F2 would open the edit-dialog instead of the renaming-dialog or at least provide another shortcut to do this. Another thing live would make easier is to select a newly added app (using import) in the listview and scroll to it's location. I've now more than 170 apps included and it doesn't make fun to scroll allways around. This problem doesn't occure when using "Add new application", so it might be solved if I could use a template as default. It would be usefull to have a variable containing the actual application-path of Ketarin, for example for relative commands (as I already found as problem here.) If I use V{version} as "Variable for custom column" the result is (for example) {V1.2. To get V1.2 I've to create a global variable with just a "V" in it!? Questions: Is there a way to download apps that are invoked by a server-side php-skript? Hmm... there was a second one, but I seem to have forgotten it while typing the first one A Bug I've found so far: A crash when renaming apps. 1) "Add new application", fill out the minimum informations you need to submit (or use a default-setting). 2) Immediately after closing the dialog press "F2" to rename the app. This results in a Win32Exception every time I try it. Similar (I think it's the same bug, but invoked in a little bit other way): 1) "Add new application", fill out the minimum informations you need to submit (or use a default-setting). 2) Reopen the dialog via "Edit" 3) Close the dialog 4) Press "F2" The dialog does open now. 5) Enter a new name --> crashs. So.. I'm shure I've forgotten something, but I might remember soon when working again. But let's say also THANKS for this App, you can't tell how much work this one saves It does offer soo many possibilities other app-updater don't have. Is there a possibility to donate or do you just want my written thanks? Thalon *: In detail: 1) I export my configuration to XML 2) I'm stripping of several field from my export with user-specific data. 3) I've written a little tool which exports the configuration of Ketarin-Instance of my friend 4) It merges his informations with my XML (fills up the user-specific data from him which I've stripped off before) So he doesn't miss any updates and does also not have to download versions which I haven't in my configuration.
