kazso Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Please don't keep editing, make new posts instead. Otherwise it's impossible to track what and in which topic you are doing things. Don't like searching old topics a lot. So what is the purpose of this change? Sorry, i'll make new posts instead The purpose was to speed up the FileHippo non-beta detection process. Ketarin calls the FileHippoGetAllVersions method 3 times for each FileHippo application, if the Avoid Beta option is set. This means searching through the application version history pages 3 times and find the non-beta page 3 times. With this change Ketarin only scans the history pages on the 1st call, and then use the already found non-beta page for the 2nd and 3rd calls.

kazso Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Thx a lot for all of your efforts kazso, ireally appreciate. I also have a problem: when try to update cdex from filehippo, every times ketarin (your last beta kazso) download it again and again, is it normal? Ketarin shouldn't download it again. I'll add cdex to my list and check it. Found the problem already. CDex 1.51 (which is the only non-beta version) has no MD5 hash listed on the Techincal page (http://filehippo.com/download_cdex/tech/403/). Without this Ketarin will always download the application, unless you set a variable as indicator for changes, for example version. If you don't set anything, then Ketarin will always look for the MD5 hash as indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floele Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Aww sorry I can't accept this code :-p I have very limited love for static stuff already, but you are going a step too far here with your weird array Would you mind using a Dictionary<string, string> for that purpose? That is way more readable and reliable. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulderdash Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Is it just me or is something broken? Nearly all my packages are showing as needing an update - filehippo or not!

kazso Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Here is the new exe: http://drivehq.com/file/DFPublishFile.aspx/FileID1733632306/Key9qhpprhyrnpe/Ketarin-170b2-u5.zip And the new source (revision 461): http://drivehq.com/file/DFPublishFile.aspx/FileID1733632305/Keyyw6hasdge4g9/ketarin-rev461-changes2.zip This is basically the same as u4, just replaced the array with the dictionary.

Guest guest7834 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 This version 1.7.0-b2 works fine for me, but it keeps downloading ratdvd each time. Best Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimH44 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hello again, I'm still hoping to compile Ketarin for Linux. After all this activity to fix what FileHippo did to us, is there now an official source release that I could get, please, eithier by ordinary download or by SVN or by GIT? Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazso Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 http://scm.flyspray.org/repos/ketarin This is the official SVN. Also you need http://cdburnerxp.se/downloads/sourcecode/Ketarin.tar.gz to compile Ketarin (link is on the main Ketarin website). Only the CDBurnerXP folder is needed from this archive, you can delete the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floele Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 BTW in regard to the current release status: An addon for this forum that allows to view and moderate uploaded applications is currently WIP and should be available soon. When Ketarin is adjusted for the new system, I'll release a final 1.7 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 The download should save the file as either the appname.xml or as the guid.xml, not "app.xml". Otherwise downloading more than one thru the interactive interface is going to create problems for the user. Needs to be a little more careful with the variable population, too, as there are variable inserts appearing in some of the values. Such as here: http://www.devfuse.com/appsipb/index.php?/apps/6003-surffind/ Ideally, it would populate with the last known good value when published. It should also display the reliability rating & category in the front-end of the apps list, so users know which ones are unreliable and what exactly something is. This goes for search results, too. Having the contributor in the search results would be nice, too. I also gotta say I was really hoping to be able to see the XML inline in the app profile page. That's not really necessary, but it would enable us to use external search engines to find app profiles when the system forbids our search term because it's too short, for example. As a security measure, does the system prevent re-upload of a previous profile with the same guid if it's been deleted? Also happy to see that you have to be a member to vote and that each user can only have one counted vote towards an app profile. Good stuff.

Tomorrow Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yep it's a good start but a little too generic at the moment. The download should defenetly be appname.xml or GUID.xml or combination of both. Also need to see the XML inline before deciding if it's worth downloading.

On this one - if using the 'last known good' value instead of the variable-composed version, it would be nice if there were some cosmetic indicator of variable-population. Perhaps the text appears in another color or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floele Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 The app is now activated here (see "applications" tab). Just let me know about your suggestions. They all still show "no category" because the database contents need to be adjused, will do that later. As mods, you should have rights to delete existing apps. Feel free to play around with it. This is not the original Ketarin database at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
