Usenet Explorer

This is possibly less great, the program is supposed to ask the first time it is run to create a shortcut or not, could you check the .ini if there is a line "Installed=True" if it's there the program wont ask anymore, and you could remove the line and try if you get the shortcut prompt. ...

Josef K have you had a chance to test the new versions? Gosh! I've been busy, busy, busy! I've just run the new build on two separate instances of UE and both worked fine. The first one gave me the shortcut prompt and asked for the db location. The second did not prompt for anything. I don't rememb...

Check how many tasks you have running. Properties->Tasks will let you determine the totals. Find out how many run in Newsbin and match the amount of article tasks in UE.

Yes, all was fine. As ever, a reboot magically fixed the problem.

Anything you can do to be of service...

I have not found why it don't update S: copy, hopefully you are up to some more testing. Could you update the S: copy by manually changing the path in UeExtractor.exe and then run my updater on the D: drive, does it update the right ue.exe? I'm always up for testing. This time it worked no problem....

OK I figured out where the single "exe" file came from, when my updater runs "UeExtractor.exe" it has to automatically type in the correct path and the put back the "ue.exe" filename to extract, this happens very fast and works in XP, but Vista seems to miss a letter o...

I run XP, but I'll test in Vista 32bit, where is your ue.exe located? I know Vista does some weird stuff in some directories. My UE.exes are not in Windows directories like %Program Files% and UAC is turned off anyway so that doesn't affect anything. I can put it in the .ini if you like, I assumed ...

At the moment the updater don't check UE.EXE version, so changing the version in the .ini file is the way to make it update. OK. This seems weird, the updater runs the ue.exe that is in the same directory as the updater, it does not use an absolute path only "ue.exe". For the record, I us...

I finally had time to check this out properly. I tried it as soon as I saw this but it needed further investigation which I didn't have time for. Running it today (copy on D:), it ran through as it should. When it ran UE.exe, the previous version (2.2.1) was loaded. There was a new file in that dire...

Okie cokie. As ever, I'll test it when I can. Not sure if I'll have much more time tonight, though so tomorrow at the earliest.

Hmm... Slight issue: The copy I have on the NAS runs from a shortcut that points explicitly to the database on the NAS. If I run UE without specifying a db or import an NZB, it will open the local copy, along with the local db. The updater updated the NAS copy no matter where UEAutoUpdater.exe was l...

historically it was extremely safe to use newest releases, the last one is also ok. I'm just picky with things like this anyway and I've always done things the manual way. I know this kind of negates the point of having a computer that can automate everything for you... Have you tried my Usenet Exp...

When you've upgraded, check to see that Properties->General->Miscellaneous->Check for updates is checked. I still find it slightly irritating that you have to begin a download before UE will check for updates. I'd find it better, at least, to have a 'Check for updates' item in the Help menu to force...

Use a comma, in another post I gave an example.

Instead of using 22:00-23:59 you can use 22:00-24:00, otherwise UE will pause for one minute.
