Thanks Flo, the O.D. it´s working perfect now

Great to hear this... btw I´m not familiar with computer languajes nor systems, but if there´s help needed deleting spam well I guess I can help on that...

Same question here

Flo is missing as well as CybTekSol, again Hope both are doing fine. Thanks CybTekSol for all the good will and my best wishes as well This forum will miss such a great moderator.

Please let´s not judge. I did greatly enjoyed O.D. while it was being updated and outdated and overall Ketarin is still a great app — from a great dev. I´m more hoping that Flo is alright, same to CybTekSol.

I have recently stumbled with an application that requires server authentication in order to download it. There is an option in Settings > Connection, but that´s seems to be a global connection setting. Any chance to add an option in the advanced tab? Thanks in advanced, Phil D.

At first I thought of a temporal popup window from the system tray, which could display the info of the actual popup that shows up at the end of the update (in the interactive mode), to see at a glance if there is anything to check / fix. If there is, I may check then the detailed log. A log with the error lines of the actual Ketarin´s pop-up, it´s not exactly the same, but it still may make it easier since it can be displayed right after Ketarin has finished (in the silent mode). Not sure if I got that right, if it´s works as a separate switch you can specify one, the other or both. Cheers, Phil D.

I heard somewhere about TextCrawler but never tried it, I will now, thanks for pointing it Also yeah it would be great if Flo gets persuaded to include another switch (crossed fingers) Thanks again Appyface for the good ideas Cheers, Phil D. (my apologies for posting almost one week later...)

Thanks. That´s a pretty good idea, though I still like more the idea of a tiny popup or windows report, rather than having to check the whole log (something less disrupting - at a glance). Anyway right now it´s the best thing to do. btw If you don´t like the black window you can use HiddenStart in the shortcut

Hey, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too!

The same happens to me, it´s hard to read the info in all the fast popups. Maybe, if I understood right what timteka means, a new window from the tray icon that reports the updated packages after the update could do it. Another idea could be to check all the packages silently and then display a window with all the avaliable updates and prompt to choose / select the ones to update.

Thanks floele.

Just checked again and still I get the same values uh? Well anyway I´m going to check it later... thanks! Phil

Hello, just wondering how often does the O.D. gets updated, since the last updated application appear to be on "21/07/2009 15:19:34" . Also the number of uses and dates in the Top 50 have remained the same... Does it gets updated like each 4 moth or it´s no longer being updated? Phil

Hello maverikch, You can upload it to the Online Database It´s takes to right click the app, select edit, then go to the advanced settings tab and check "share this application online with others" BTW by the time of writing the O.D. seems to be down "Internal Server Error".

Just a thought, but wouldn´t be more useful a way to scrap the changelog text from the author website and view it directly from Ketarin? Instead of manually opening the website... i.e FileHippo keeps a record of changelogs or when you update your Firefox add-ons there is a more info button with the changelog.

first one? uh Well after reading and idea just crossed my mind. Maybe there could something like the Online Updated Database, but for templates with direct access from Ketarin. the advantages... more accesible to the user and straightforward import/update. Well I don´t really know if this is a good idea or useful, maybe for geting updates from site like download.com or softpedia? Anyway, there it is PD: I know this may be not the correct place but I kind a have another* idea : D It´s just to be able to set multiple mirrors for an update. In case one fails, it tries to update from the next one. Phil

Thanks! thats really helpful, more than enough to get me goin' I´m going to give it a spin right now... about the part of the version in the name I will simply create another variable and with that It should do the trick. That´s a crazy, I thought my 200+ portable apps where more than enough! maybe that´s becouse I don´t have yet many Linux apps besides the LiveCDs/USB.... Well once again thanks for all the help, I have learned tons Cheers Phil

OK, I need some guidance here. Maybe it´s just a minimal mistake, anyway.. There are some apps that when they get extracted create it´s own folder, so on I´m trying to copy the files inside that folder and then deleting the files in the original extracted directory. Now the name of the created folder is the "appname+partoftheversion", then is there a way to use a path like \App*\ to complete the folder relative folder name? For example I´m trying this with one app 7z x {file} -o"{root}PortableApps\{appname}\" -y & copy "{root}PortableApps\{appname}\DrvBK*\*.*" "{root}PortableApps\{appname}\*.*" & del /f "{root}PortableApps\{appname}\DrvBK*\*" The folder that the extracted app creates is "DrvBK2", where the "2" may vary, and the version variable I´m using it´s like "2_0".. different I have actually tried a lot of combinations, tried with the copy /f command, \y at the end. Also I wonder if when the app gets updated the "copied" files will replace the old copied ones or if I need another command for that. well I´m out of ideas and the info in the forum it´s for kind of advanced people... so hope you can give me a hand on this.

My bad, you are totally right. Thanks

Sorry for the delay. Thanks andreone and CybTekSol! That solved it Edit: Still there is one app that freezes! :S kind of weird... all the other works good now. Here is the log 01/09/2009 18:19:28: Update started with 7 application(s) 01/09/2009 18:19:31: SMPlayer Portable: Replacing {version} in 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/smplayer/smplayer-portable-{version}.7z' with '0.6.8' 01/09/2009 18:19:31: SMPlayer Portable: Using referer: (none) 01/09/2009 18:19:32: SMPlayer Portable: Server source file: /smplayer/smplayer-portable-0.6.8.7z 01/09/2009 18:19:32: SMPlayer Portable: Determined target file name: C:\PortableApps\Comprimidos\smplayer-portable-0.6.8.7z 01/09/2009 18:19:32: SMPlayer Portable: Checking if update is required... 01/09/2009 18:19:32: SMPlayer Portable: Update required, 'C:\PortableApps\Comprimidos\smplayer-portable-0.6.8.7z' does not yet exist 01/09/2009 18:25:20: SMPlayer Portable: Executing command: 7z x C:\PortableApps\Comprimidos\smplayer-portable-0.6.8.7z -o"C:\PortableApps\" -y &" The other way would be to use start"" as I read in another treath. Now I checked it and it works well with Universal Extractor, I´m using {root}PortableApps\UniversalExtractor\UniversalExtractor.exe {file} PeerBlock & 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/viewtopic.php?id=32&p=2 Also with more time I may try the commands "copy" and "del" to be able to get the files always in the same folder with 7zip (In 7zip I guess there should be no trouble). if my memory it´s ok, I lately read somewhere that 7zip overrides by default the files when extracting and by what CybTekSol said, the -aoa does the same. Anyway one or the other way it works Thanks for all the help!

Thanks for your quick answer. Tried this 7z x "{file}" -aoa -o"{root}PortableApps\{appname}\" -y and I got the same issue and so far I tried also {root}PortableApps\7-ZipPortable\App\7-Zip\7z.exe x {file} -o"{root}PortableApps\{appname}\" -y using the portable 7zip, instead of the console in the directory of Ketarin. Anyway both get me the same error. At this point I gues it´s a bug of the 7zip console, since it does extract a part* of the file. Also when I extract with the GUI, it´s all fine. Maybe there is a way of using the GUI in a automated/silently way..? Or I may just use another command line extraction app :S I´m going to check it with more time thanks

Hello, I´m big fan of Ketarin.. meaning I update 80+ apps. Well said that, hope you can give me a hand with two main issues when using commands to extract the applicacions. Note I´m not a coders or anything related, I´m just a simple user who tries to make things work. 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. For example I got this trouble when updating Portable Tor (if you want to give it a try this is a fixed update link for Ketarin: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/portabletor/portabletor/PortableTor-{version}/PortableTor-{version}.exe?use_mirror=ufpr), also with Tor Browser, SMPlayer, etc. all packaged in 7zip format. If it is a 7zip bug I guess the workaround will be a batch file with relative paths (since I use it from my stick), well if that´s the case I would really thanks some help in how the bat command should be. Also what to do when the application comes compressed with a folder that has the app version? Is there a way to rename it when it gets extracted? for two reasons, one my old files don´t get replaced/deleted and two becouse I use a launcher and this might change the main exe app path And OK, the only dude that I got left is if there is an easy way/commands etc, for extracting the {app} data of an installer and copying it files to a folder, while deleting after the extracted files (not the copied ones), since there are many portable application that comes bundled with it´s installer. I don´t really know if the 7zip console can manage it, I did some tests but it seemed to fail. Well that´s are all my headaches :S , hope you can tell me how to fix/make it work Cheers and Thanks Phil Edit: All working and solved, see the comments below (Thanks andreone and CybTekSol)
