illwill Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 just finished making TechTools which is basically a premade ketarin db and pstart xml that downloads the files for techs to keep their thumbdrives up to date http://www.whatsmypass.com/techtools-3-0 The only issue still remains is that ketarin still looks for the downloaded zipfile to know if it has to update , so you gotta keep a separate folder for them hopefully for the next version you can create an extra feature that you can choose whether to keep the individual zip or just record the filesize/modified date into the db so you have to keep the zips anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi, I think we use Ketarin in a similar way. Thx for the share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floele Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Actually. version 1.1.0 of Ketarin has such a feature. Doesn't it suit your needs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsudano Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) Thanks, illwill! I've been trying to put together my own Ketarin/PStart powered toolkit, and this has saved me so much time! floele, how do I use that feature? My current command after downloading looks like this for most archived packages: 7z x {file} -o"{root}{toolkit}\{category}\" -y del {file} But if I delete the zip file, Ketarin will re-download the zip even if I already have the latest (unzipped) version of the program. Edit: Ok, so I figured it out already... I checked "Ignore file information" under Advanced settings and everything seems to be working as desired. Thanks, floele, Ketarin is an excellent program!

illwill Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 yea but if you checkmark that feature you dont get the newest download if the file was extracted from zip the first time because the zip is there no more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsudano Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 yea but if you checkmark that feature you dont get the newest download if the file was extracted from zip the first time because the zip is there no more You're right Anyone know of a way of getting around this without having to keep the original zip file?

Sphinx Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 perhaps making a batch file (or another type) that checks if there is a zip file then extract, and if not exit that might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
