UpdateXYonStart

[serendipity]

UPDATE:
1) Now, if there is no connection to the internet, script quietly exits with status message.
2) Script won't work if version less than 9.60.0004.

Checks for updates on startup. See description below:

Code: Select all

//UpdateXYonStart
//This script will automatically check for new version of XY on startup. 
//But to actually do the updates, you have to use one of the update scripts available from script exchange section.  
//Optionally you can also add backup script before doing the updates.
//See sections //#1 and //#2 below for update and backup script suggestions.
////HOW TO MAKE XY LOOK FOR UPDATES ON STARTUP:
//(a) Copy this script and save it inside XY's script folder.
//(b) Save your current running XY (File>Settings>Save Configuration)
//(c) Create a shortcut (File>Settings>Create Shortcut to this Configuration...). Shortcut is created on Desktop. If you already have a XY shortcut on desktop then skip this step.
//(d) Exit XYplorer (File>Exit)
//(e) Right-click on your XY shortcut and click on properties. 
//(f) The target field looks like this: "C:\Program Files\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /ini="XYplorer"
//(g) Change it to this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /script=UpdateXYonStart /ini="XYplorer" and "Apply" and "OK"
//(h) Double-click on the shortcut, XY will open and the script UpdateXYonStart.xys will laod and check for updates. 
    
//Stop script if XY version is less than 9.60.0004
     end (<xyver> < "9.60.0004"), "This script needs XYplorer version 9.60.0004 or higher.";
     $ReadURL = readurl("http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=4&start=0&sd=d", , , 1);
//If no internet then script exits with a status message
     IF ($ReadURL==""){
                      status "No internet. Can't check for XY updates.","FF0000",alert;
                      end(1==1);                      
                      }

//                              B) A dependency, common-jacky from here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?p=26196#p26196

        }

EDIT: I included the scripts from Jacky/Don you might need if you decide to use them.
For updating you need:

XYplorer Automatic Updater.xys

common-jacky.xys

For Backing up XY you need:

BackupXY.xys
