Multiple Requests

[nesl247]

Hi there. I just started using the software, and I have a few requests.

 

Custom global commands. Just like you can create your own global variables, let us create our own commands. This would be useful for me at least for applications that are portable but download as a zip. Instead of having to add

7za.exe x -o"{category}\{appname}" "{file}"

for each of those apps.

 

Another feature request I have is the location of the database. I'd prefer for the entire thing to be portable, and not tied to the logged in user. Could we please get this setting?

 

Another setting would be for a default download setting. Instead of having to add a location for every single app we download (useful when importing from internet database), we could set a default location.

 

Thanks in advance if you add any of these requests.

If you put the DB in the same folder as the exe, it will be portable already.

Look into the main setting dialog for the "Global variables" section.

These variables can be used like any built-in variables: {variable_name}

 

Another setting would be for a default download setting. Instead of having to add a location for every single app we download (useful when importing from internet database), we could set a default location.

Actually, you could do that by using a global variable again, which is what most users do. I personaly named one "download_root" for that purpose.

 

Be aware that there's also a "default template" feature: click on "Add new application", you'll see a "Save as default" button as the bottom left.

This saves the "Download location" settings, which will be imported automatically the next time you add a new application.

 

Also, there's a tutorial here and here. You should take a look at them.

 

Bye
