Woohoo! 2b1240

Another app I use regularly is official! I think the only one I'm waiting on now is TortoiseHg.

Thanks for the hard work, mwayne. Welcome to the team!

Splash not updated? 19242v

Updated via platform. When run the Development Test Release splash screen displays

Remove It 1y4ds

You can just remove it. Freeware releases don't have splashes. It is leftover because I set it to preserve the app directory so data loss doesn't occur on an upgrade following a crash.

Installer do it? 2d6q4t

Just wondering if it is possible for the installer to have the following coded:

if old = dev test and new = freeware delete splash file

to post comments

It Can 5h6r3z

It can. But it's not strictly necessary. We don't guarantee upgrades from dev tests to stable. I'm going to add it in the next release anyway.

32 vs 64 bit 2m3s3t

Will Q-Dir Portable use both 32 bit and 64 bit?

to post comments

32 6l4t2r

The current build is 32-bit only. I was unaware there was a 64-bit build when I published it. I've added a note to add the 64-bit build in the next release.

Thanks q3q6b

Thanks you for the quick response.
This is a great app. Before it was offered by PA I was including both (32/64) on my USB stick. The developer is constantly providing updates/improvements.
Great addition to PA.com.

32 vs 64 701264

I knew there is a 64-bit version but I didn't want to mess up Q-Dir. The problem I saw with including the 64-bit only Q-Dir.exe was that you have to either create folders or rename it. Create a folder messes up with the launcher if you want to use the same data for 32-/64-bit.
Rename one Q-Dir.exe would be the best solution but I see rename as modifying.

Am I still building the updates or did you take it over because I'd love to keep contributing.

P.S. Should I ask Nenand to host it?

If you rename Q-dir.exe to Q-Dir64.exe for the 64-bit version, does it still work normally? If so, we can just do that. The launcher can pick between them based on the OS. I can show you how to configure that.

You can keep updating it and email it to me via the developers address for now. We're working on a better staging system.

Nenand can host it if he'd like or we can. We work any way the publisher likes. Some like it for us to build it and they host it (LibreOffice), some like it for them to build it and they host it (TeamViewer), some like to build and host it but have us host it for our own s due to bandwidth (HWiNFO).

Welcome 245w2p

Great to see another new dev around.

Don't worry, for the move from beta to official John makes the necessary changes himself because it is just easier that way, but you are still in charge of keeping Q-Dir updated going forward.

A few things to hopefully help you out:

In preparation for future updates you should copy the files from the official release package back to your local development copy, just in case any files were changed by John and so you don't go undoing those changes when you package a new release.
When you do an update you should zip it up and send it to the developers_developers email address near the bottom of the Us page. If in future you have an open source release it would also help John out if you send through the source of the base app with the updated package instead of making him hunt for it.
If an update is out and for some reason you know you can't get it done in a reasonable timeframe just drop a note in the Outdated Official Apps thread and if someone else has the time they'll package it up for you. Same thing if there are no updates, but you know you won't have the ability to handle any packages for a while (holidays, no internet etc).
