New capabilities for : Global Variables, command variables and CLI

Thank you kindly for continued development of Ketarin. It is truly a unique a indispensable tool!

 

The impetus for the following feature requests come from my attempts to install ketarin as proxy silent update mechanism - that is, without constantly running, myriad update services, updating at variable times, with little control over payload communications.

 

Context sensitive and recursive global variables

baseFileNm={url:basefile}

baseNoSpc={baseFileNm:replace: :_}

 

So I can do(remove spaces from file name):

Set "Download location" to "Save to file" with value:

{startuppath}STORE\{category}\{appname}\{baseNoSpc}.{url:ext}

 

New Command line switches

Log only failures, no debugging info(should work when updating with existing "/silent" switch)

/logerror=[Location of log file]

 

Install without UI and without updating first

/installsilent=[Location of xml file]

 

.Net compatibilty in V1.8

It seems Ketarin 1.8 will require installation of .netv4 on W7 systems before use; while current v1.7 works with W7,W8,W10 without issue. Given this is the first thing to install on any new or aging installation of W7(with Ketarin), I wondered if compatibility can be kept, at least at the command line?

eg. ketarin /install=dotNet4.xml , ketarin /install=InstallSetWithdotNet4.xml

 

Thanks and best regards.

You'll find the first one there already.

 

I have no intention for compiling Ketarin against .NET 2.0. If needed, you can get the source, adjust the code if necessary and compile against 2.0. Keeping compatibility just for command line is not possible because it's a single executable.

Ketarin will work on W8 and W10 out of the box already.
