Portable apps errors

Hello - 1st post!

First of all - I LOVE Ketarin! I've been doing this manually for more years than I care to think about, so this is an incredible time saver for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. To Floele and all the contributors!

 

Now, my problem:

I have around 150 apps working great, but I always seem to get errors from the online database entries for PortableApps.com. For example, the entry for Eraser Portable: I checked the variable, it evaluates correctly to "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/Eraser_Portable_5.82_Rev_3.paf.exe?download" in blue. I pasted this into FF and IE, and I get file-save dialog boxes, which I assume is what's causing the error within Ketarin. I get "Invalid URI: the URI scheme is not valid. (<!DOCTYPE html......"

 

Can anyone tell me how to fix this please? I just know its something stupid I have or haven't done.

 

Especially frustrating because that's one of my favorite sites.

 

Thanks!

EY,

Look in the 'Templates' section of this forum for a excellent PortableApps.com 'universal' template that has been posted by FranciscoR. The link is: http://ketarin.canneverbe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=1250#p1250 If you are not familiar with the concept... read all the relevant posts there and in the 'Tips and Tutorials' section. Hope this helps.

Ok guys, thanks for all that, but I had already found the template and read all I could find. I just can't figure out how to actually USE templates. I created a new application, created a variable, pasted FranciscoR's template into "Textual Content" (only because I couldn't paste in the other two), and tried to replace the Page URL and App name as best I could. No luck.

 

Can you detect my level of expertise here? :)

 

Is there a step-by-step guide "How to Use Ketarin Templates for Dummies Who Haven't Programmed Since COBOL"?

 

I mean, I was hoping for:

- a step-by-step guide?

- is "Textual Content" the right place to start?

- a single place to replace the template's placeholders (the quotes and angle brackets confuse those of us that don't already know what to do).

 

Anyway, I do appreciate the help, and I'm up for another round if you guys feel like a challenge!

 

Thanks in either case!
