Update by Update the only way?!

[Water Clean Up]

Hi,

i want to add to every Update the same Commands, is there a way to do it to all at the same time?

And my second question is close to the first, can i change the download folder of multiple Updates at the same time?

Or is Update by Update the only way?!

No. In situations like this, the easiest thing to do is export the entire thing to XML (File, Export All), then open it up in a text editor (I prefer Notepad++) and do a find+replace to edit the specific fields. If you already have one that is "updated" and one that isn't, just find those within the source and find/replace should be pretty easy. When you're done, import the file again (File, Import) and it will overwrite the settings of all of the existing apps with those from the XML, effectively acting as a bulk update.

shawn, I think the first post is spam. Have a look at his profile.

Personally, I would have agreed, but I was asked to treat new members with a gentle hand unless it's obvious they're spamming. This thread appears legit, so I allowed and commented.

Yeah... more spam from PK.

These probably human-made spam posts are somewhat hard to prevent, as no anti-bot solutions will work.

True, but you can use a stop list for words. for example, there's no good reason for viagra or some of the other terms used in some of these spams to EVER appear on this forum. We could add the URLs used by successful spammers (spam posts that make it thru) to the stop list so those wouldn't appear again.

Well, you just used that word in a tolerable way

[shawn]

I disagree. I'd have banned me for it.

[CybTekSol]

LOL... we don't need moderators banned Shawn... we need all the help we can get!

[shawn]

Yes, I agree.

 

And Flo, the new filters are making a HUGE difference. THANK YOU!
