nrogers64 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I know there are lots of predefined variables such as {file} and {filesize}. I also know that Ketarin is kind of geared towards FileHippo.com. It seems that there should be a way, at least for applications from FileHippo, that one could easily capture the version of the software just downloaded into a variable to be used with the command to execute after updating an application. For example, to pass as a parameter to a script to send an e-mail to me saying "Version [version] of [application] was just downloaded". It doesn't look like there is a predefined variable to do this. Is there a way to do this as a user-defined variable? If so, how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 For FileHippo, the version is collected as {version}. You MUST NOT have your own variable of the same name declared, however, or it will not be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrogers64 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thank you! Why does the Special variables page not mention a {version} variable? Is it a new variable? Also, I know this isn't what I originally asked for, but how complicated is it to create a version variable (with a different name) for applications not from FileHippo.com?

shawn Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 It's not on the Wiki because the Wiki is relatively new, and edited by users here (that have the time to do so). To create a custom variable (of any kind) edit any app profile, click the "variables" button on the "Application" tab, click the "+" button in the bottom left, type "version" (or whatever you want to use as the variable name), click OK, and then use the features on that window to configure how the new variable is populated.
