Hi APT, Bigbadmoshe
Thanks for proving application xpeplugins that were designed not to require an update always require an update with 182 replies you wrote.
(+268 replies on other topic = roughly 450 replies is enough to prove application xpeplugins always require an update
)
Applications updates all the time,
you should notice nobody writes a reply about an update for every application that updates,
I am pretty sure I made more than 450 application updates in last 2 years and did not post a reply for each, and I have not notice LSP or Wimbuilder too,
I had let this topic go for you to prove the idea "application xpeplugins always require an update" for a while that is all. More would smell like spam advertisements.
As you know, There are typically 4 kinds of Application updates
1)
eg like \Apps\File Tasks\"Q-Dir Nenad" Plugin, updated with "Update Plugin" button -> on xpeplugin case I guess u button
2)
eg like \Apps\System Tools\HW Info\"AIDA64 Extreme" Plugin, updated with "Download" button after changing textbox -> on xpeplugin case reading your replies I guess u button by changing a text box or maybe by changing lines, you know better.
2b)
Cases like updating weblink is required (I guess xpeplugins do not use a textbox !) probably eg. Acronis. You are experienced enough about applications that requires weblink updates.
3)
In cases where there is no static link to download that can be used by a Plugin - Wimbuilder-Patch - LSP-Script - xpelugin
Basic update by changing attached file (eg. Like WinNTSetup4)
4)
And cases like updating "Acronis Disk Director" Plugin when only updating with 3) is not enough which requires lines to be also updated. (generally innounp setups and other setups where driver etc. involved ... )
Write a tutorial for 1) 2) 2b) 3) , maybe Bigbadmoshe can decide to use current topic initial post as a tutorial, or maybe APT write a new tutorial topic, or a joint task, you decide,
and If you want I can make such tutorial topic sticky. As a result 1) 2) 2b) 3) update replies will not be required anymore and will not smell like spam advertisements anymore.
If you want you can make the announcement of such 1) 2) 3) application updates on other section
http://theoven.org/index.php?board=18.40 like others do
Continue using the current topic for Case 4) and other special cases (eg. Vmware Plugin etc.)
and if you like pack a big package every month or 2 months or more as I recommended and followed years ago,
eg. you can be sure most do not notice Reply #145 for GPU-Z update, but most would get the latest packages.

Again thanks for proving application xpeplugins that were designed not to require an update always require an update.
Now you are both very experienced about application updates, follow things on the current reply.
