  6. Authentication for Servers

    in Feature requests

    Posted · Edited by Phil

    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.

  7. /notify /silent mode

    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).

     

     

    specify one or the other or both switches?

     

    Not sure if I got that right, if it´s works as a separate switch you can specify one, the other or both.

     

    Cheers,

    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) :D

    Thanks again Appyface for the good ideas ;)

    (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 ;)

    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.

  14. Online Database Updates

    in General discussion

    Posted · Edited by 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?

  15. Great App

    Posted · Edited by 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".

  16. Link to Apps website

    in Feature requests

    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.

  17. Any Fresh Ideas for the Templates Section Ketarin Users?

    in Templates

    Posted

    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.

  18. Need some help with commands

    in General discussion

    Posted

    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.

     

    I usually do this manually as out of the nearly 1350 apps

     

    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

  19. Need some help with commands

    in General discussion

    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.

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

     

    My bad, you are totally right.

     

    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.

     

    Thanks

    Sorry for the delay.

     

    The solution is then to append & to your command line

     

    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.

     

    Also... for the last part, check out Universal Extractor that has been discussed in the forum before... just do a search for it... I think it may do what you want with installers along with some custom commands... possibly...

    del /f "{root}PortableApps\{appname}\*"

     

    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).

     

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

     

    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

     

    Also... for the last part, check out Universal Extractor that has been discussed in the forum before... just do a search for it... I think it may do what you want with installers along with some custom commands... possibly...

     

    del /f "{root}PortableApps\{appname}\*"

     

    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
