Check your updates. New update added -- v14.1 -- see here for the goodies.

Mostly polishing the code, finishing the help-file, etc. but mainly to have Bintray checked first for updates -- after January 14th we'll be losing GoogleCode as a distribution source. Recent Change-log:

Code: Select all

ADD: Ability to change the order of where to get updates from the list of alternate
     distribution sites.
ADD: SetupS (ssApp-version only) added to the Path environment variable for
     Run-dialogs/Command-windows.
ADD: New ssCleaner switches (DudInstallPaths|NotDudInstallPaths, or DeepScan|NoDeepScan) for

         -ssClean=StartMenuOnly,NoDeepScan
CHANGE: The check for removed Startmenu items is now a separate option from the type of
        ssClean (for either StartmenuOnly or AllShortcuts). This option simply allows for
        automatic ssCleaning whenever shortcuts are removed such as during Startmenu Style
        changes.

[The Freezer]

     ssCleaner, ssXFormer, ssGooey, and ssFATSorter.

Code: Select all

  the special path "." is also the same as the Install-to folder.

  folder-name, ssEditor no longer automatically renames files to the filename scheme.
  This must be done manually now with the "Force Assign" function from the Graphics-tab.

  This must be done manually now (from Explorer).
CHANGE: Updated 7-Zip to 15.12

Still have the Windows10 default Startmenu to finish but that is taking longer than expected; so decided to do an interim-release this time of the new features completed so far.

CHANGE: Improvements to the Auto Silent Switch Finder (ASSF).

Check your updates. New update added -- v16.4.1.1 -- see here for the goodies. Recent Change-log:

Code: Select all

FIX: [ssEditor] Problems caused by edge-case filenames being used with deployment packages.
     For example, a file named "Patch.job" would not get processed correctly because it
     matches one of the SetupS-file specs: "Patch.*"
FIX: [ssEditor] Logic errors involving various presence (or lack) of Patch folder-name usage. 
     i.e. "ppApp\" vs. "Patch\" and if one or the other (or both) are used.


A couple minor tweaks to ssEditor.

EDIT: Nuked v16.4.1.0 -- "ssApp.app" was left off the new white-list for Fix #1 above. Doh!

[The Freezer]

Check your updates. New update added -- v16.4.7.0 -- see here for the goodies. Recent Change-log:

Code: Select all

FIX: [ssEditor] Calculated extracted install-size (for ppApps/ppGames) was being saved *after*
     the md5 file-hash calculations -- as a consequence the .app/.ppg file-hash would be off.


Another minor tweak to ssEditor.

[The Freezer]

Check your updates. New update added -- v16.5.8.0 -- see here for the goodies. Recent Change-log:

Code: Select all

Some more small tweaks to ssEditor.
