Total Updater 0.8.6.9 - Total Commander & plugin updater

[brahman]

In the English Readme it says:

"wdx_eml: Total Commander content plugin for eml-files.
Version: 1.0 (19.01.2007)
Author: Pavel Dubrovsky aka Antikiller.D1P (UIN 215168320)"

Krasusczak's link is correct.

Thank you both for the clarifications, i missed this one!

I just found & fixed a bug that caused TU to improperly detect online dates with missing leading zeros (e.g. "03.08.2009") if no online version information can be found on totalcmd.net (like the case with this particular eml plugin) - that will partially solve the above problem. With a crc value paired to this exact wdx it is going to be fully resolved:

Code: Select all

wdx_eml.wdx	03.08.2009	03.08.2009	OK.

Thanks, for this usefull tool!

Running TC 8.50 Beta 1 the program still says I'm running TC 8.01
and offers the update to 8.50b1

[Gerby]

Hi Horst!

This is a problem of Total Commander 8.50ß1 itself, because it still reports version 8.0.1.0 in its file information.

[Edit]
The bug has already been reported here:

@Horst.Epp:
Actually - as you can see in the changelog - I did notice this issue of the new TC8.50B1 & fixed it for x32 (at least it works fine for me, couldn't test the 64-bit version).

I'm assuming you're using TCx64, aren't you? I just uploaded a new silent update of TU (revision 2), could you please try if the detection works fine now?

If it still fails, could you please test if it works having Total Commander closed, so in case Total Updater is running alone started from Explorer?

Yes, I'm using the x64 version.
But I found the problem (its already reported) Christian ha the wrong version info in the exe file for the x64 TC.
So its not your fould

[tosbsas]

totalcmd.net seems to be offline

[Bluestar]

I did notice it too, unfortunately nothing I can do about it.. wincmd.ru is also down, so theres something definitely went wrong with the server(s).
Hopefully they are going to be back soon.

Edit: Server is up again! (18.30 UTC+1)

Hi,
there's a problem on computer with large font setting (120% DPI system font).

Just look at the update db window for example

[Bluestar]

@Nigurrath:
Thanks for reporting this issue!

In the following BETA version I decided to turn off scaling for now to fix this problem, as it would need pretty hard work to rearrange the objects to show fine on every DPI settings (especially the Configuration dialog, which would even need another new logic & structure, as theres no way it fits the screen with 120dpi & 800x600 for example)...

[face=tahoma]Total Updater v0.8 Beta 3 (revision 2)

The new beta version of the updater can now handle archives & install the downloaded plugin updates (this feature is still experimental though), and is also able to update its own database! A lot of existing functions have been improved (like the version compare routine) and many, many bugs have been fixed.

Update is strongly recommended - you can use the latest stable version if you encounter any problem! (read the changelog for more info...)

Thank your for the great work.

Total Updater v0.8 Beta 3 -- I see now only one minor inconvenience in the very first line:
Total Commander (x64) - Installed: 8.0.1.08.01 - Latest: 8.50beta2 - Status: Ok

In Total Updater v0.8 Beta 2 this status was "Update available!"

Probably it would better to define the status of beta versions as something like "Optional"?

[Bluestar]

@mwz:
Thanks, nice to hear you enjoy using it.

Actually that is not a problem of the compare routine, rather the way it (incorrectly) catches the local version of Total Commander x64 - comparement only works for version strings like "1.2.3.4" [major.minor.release.build subversion numbers] (so a maximum of 3 dots are allowed).

Could you please test if unchecking the "Try to use the intelligent subversion-detection (for BETA versions)" and then refreshing the list helps?
It could also work if you would try it with TU started from the current instance of Total Commander / having TC closed while running TU - I'd be glad if you could test these cases.

I'll try to fix the problem asap.

Probably it would better to define the status of beta versions as something like "Optional"?

You can simply check "Production Environment" checkbox in Configuration tab, so in this case TU will not show betas as update (this won't really solve your problem anyway, since it is related to catching the local vernum).

Anybody else having the same issue?

Btw in the meantime I suggest to all of you did download the new Beta3 to redownload it, as revision 2 has been uploaded tonight with some plugin-database & RAR archive handling-related fixes.
