Just Arrived

[rctneil]

Hey

 

Just joined so I can post here with any q's I might have about Keterin. I have just only found Keterin after hearing about it months ago and knowing what it did but not being able to locate it. Found it and got it running and have configured 16 apps so far. Few questions below if anyone could kindly answer them:

 

1.) What do each of the different styles of icons used mean? - Mainly what is the orange star/circle thingy?

2.) How do I make Keterin to download a new version of an application but then if I delete the installer for an app once I ahve updated it then if I rerun keterin then it will only download a new installer for that app if a new version is available and not just another copy of the app I ahve just deleted?

Hi

 

1.) green = the application has been checked and is no download is necessary

orange = the application has been updated (or requires an update if you selected Only check for update)

red = an error occurred while processing the application, you have more details in a summary window shown when all applications has been processed

 

2.) currently you can't.

This is an evolution that has been already asked before, but I don't know if Floele (the developer) has worked on it.

Ok, thanks for your replies. If Ketarin could do 2.) then it would amke it a fantastic app because then you could run it and go to your specified download folder and if any installers were present then you would know that app needs updating otherwise you know everything is up to date!

 

How do all you guys currently use Ketarin?

 

Also can any of you help me with the Ketarin problem I posted in post number 6 at this link:

Thanks

I agree that 2) is not ideal. I have a large folder that contains all setups and archives for my applications.

This is a waste of space as I almost never go back there to use them. But with hard drives that go over 2To nowadays, I don't feel this is a big issue.

 

Here's my settings for FreeFileSync (32bit version). It use a regex to get the last version number.

You can directly copy/paste this xml into Ketarin

It uses regular expressions, which are the best way to deal with changing urls. Checkout this free software to learn, test and improve your skills in regexes http://www.radsoftware.com.au/regexdesigner/
