[Ketarin self-update]

What do you mean "roundabout way", you can use Ketarin to update Ketarin... but built-in updater would be better of course.

[Shawn's SourceForge template]

Hi shawn, did you manage to solve PortableApps (Firefox, Thunderbird...) download problems? Thanks

[Shawn's Microsoft template: revised 2011-07-08]

Thanks for sharing shawn, i will be testing this for sure

[Status column incorrect display after the 2nd update]

Perfect !

[Ketarin 1.1.4.344]

Thank you!

[User defined sorting columns & Run command (no download)]

Hi friend,

 

 

1. Already being "worked", see http://ketarin.canneverbe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=436

 

2. To sort by post download command use {property:ExecuteCommand} as per documentation; but i agree another user column would be handy.

 

 

Best ragards!

[Corrupted download]

I have seen this before and i believe this application problem, has well has Thunderbird and others from Portable Apps, was already reported although a workaroung was never found. I remember a discussion related to the url encoding... what i can say is that i am currently unable to download this file with Ketarin using any of the available direct dl link mirrors, all i get are timeouts. Generally speaking and unless you are a very xperienced Ketarin user i would avoid SF downloads.

[Ketarin 1.1.2]

Nice to know

[Status column incorrect display after the 2nd update]

I agree :=)

[Ketarin 1.1.2]

Any news?

[Truncate Version Number]

Would you maybe like a version number "parser" for Ketarin?

 

I could make the methods of http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.version_members.aspx available, like {version-variable:version:minor}.

 

Will that allow us to update / download only major releases? If so, count me in!

[Truncate Version Number]

That was just a quick, simple example Ccleaner 10.x seems a bit remote shawn...

[Question about automatic update frequency]

Welcome. You didn't say which OS are you using, assuming it's XP you can follow tutorial on http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-automate-windows-programs-on-a-schedule/ to make Ketarin check for updates multiple times a day create several jobs

[Truncate Version Number]

Why not just get the Version from the download page -- http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard/ using 'setTimeout('location.href="http://download.piriform.com/ccsetup' and the start selection and .exe" and the end selection?

If i understood correctly that will work too (like the suggestion from shawn), this one is actually closer to one of my favorite solutions but i don't track versions due to the problem shawn refered. I have created 2 XML's, both are somewhat different yet possible aproaches to the same 'problem', import them into your Ketarin window so you can see the differences & use the one that suites you best.

[Truncate Version Number]

Hi OLLI,

 

Yes, you can use a regex group like (\d\.\d+)\. to capture the relevant part of version and than apply a replace function to remove dot, something like {version:replace:.:}

[Wiki Base]

Hi OLLI!

 

- Yes you are right, Ketarin is the best!

 

- Regarding the error you got i suggest you post application XML so we can look at it and help;

 

- Regarding Wiki, i don't think so, Ketarin is freeware and all the work you see in this forum is done by volunteers (but in many circunstances way better than "professional helpers"); so i suggest you read (if needed)

[Question about automatic update frequency]

Hi,

Ketarin only updates on demand, however you can create a schedule using Windows Task Scheduler.

Best regards!

[Support for "slices"]

okay thx for clarification but you did say

 

I guess I should have stated that you have to visit the URL above using Internet Explorer 8 or newer with the "Slices" functionality enabled.

[Ketarin 1.1.2]

i'm talking of windows properties dialog;

i would like to be able to open it from Ketarin window with a single click (or shortcut), for instance, to unlock file, change compatibility mode, verify digital signature...

[Ketarin 1.1.2]

is it possible to link to file properties window in ketarin window?

thanks!

[Ketarin 1.1.2]

good news then, thanks

[Support for "slices"]

this is too much IE centric... i never ever use IE. maybe a Ketarin user script or extension would be better?

[Ketarin 1.1.2]

hmm okay... what happened to this ideia of yours? we never saw follow up, i was hoping to see some new interesting features to test...

[Ketarin 1.1.2]

I mean, to write the shortcut key in context menu the same way we have written Ctrl+C for copy etc...

[Ketarin 1.1.2]

Hi Mr.Floele,

Glad to see we have quorum again.

Just wondering, is it possible to add the following two shortcut keys to context menu?

Open File ->Alt+Double-click
Open Folder ->Ctrl+Double-click

I keep forgeting those

Best regards!
