I've been working with updates.ini from sand box and if noticed that the URL links for download of the newest version are not correct, take as example RunOnVPC.script:

www:
http://update.boot-l...RunOnVPC.Script

updates.ini:
http://update.boot-l...RunOnVPC.Script

The typo is found on SandBox and avoids from finding the script..

I know that beta kit is replacing the sand box, so perhaps it's not necessary to fix it, but I've also noticed that the above link is not found on beta kit..




I also have a feature request:

Would it be possible for genUpdates to also add the author and description of the script on updates.ini?

Something like:

File=Version,DownloadLink,MD5hash,author,description

I've added basic support for folders on update list to allow browsing categories, to create a new folder it is needed to add a folder name inside the [update] section like this:

[update]
HojoPE=Folder
ramdisk.Script=006,http://update.boot-land.net/WinBuilder_Sandbox/Archive/Addons/ramdisk.Script,0297f4050f3ac035fe6183019a279eee

And then a new section like this:

[update-HoJoPE]
HoJoPE-1-MakeDirs.Script=004,http://update.boot-land.net/WinBuilder_BetaKit/Projects/HoJoPE/Build/HoJoPE-1-MakeDirs.Script,47d5b2ec9bdca82670bacf514ee9580a

This is will be used over the next beta wich should allow to browse over these updates..

Thanks!

It is done.
But the description is not shown and in the second folder the contents of the first one is repeated.

Additionally: Inside an open 'folder' the data of the scripts are not shown.

No problem, it will be quickly fixed. I was just waiting for updates.ini to be edited to be able to proceed with more testings and debug - next beta will have this feature operational.. Thanks a lot!!

I've fixed the description part, but the result isn't very appealing, perhaps it's needed to add some more info and functionality inside updates.ini and change the order a bit like this:

File=Version,DownloadLink,MD5hash,title,description,author

It would also be ideal to have an option to add the topic where the script is being discussed for quick posting any issues and look the feedback from other users.

And finally an option to run a script when the file is downloaded would also be welcomed, but how to implement this in an simple and effective way?


Perhaps like this:

File=Version,DownloadLink,MD5hash,title,description,author,LinkToPost,DownloadSc

ript,section

Where:

LinkToPost = URL to the topic where the script is being discussed or even homepage of author
DownloadScript = A small script to be downloaded after downloading the chosen script
Section = a section inside this downloaded script wich will be executed, could be used for preparing the script for tasks like extracting files from a zipped file, copying needed files, etc..

What do you think?
