Hi guys,
I had this idea about a small little tool to download the whole IrfanView package (plugin) just a few time ago.
A few years ago I created the online "directory browsing" page for downloading single program- related files like plugins, languages and toolbars.
Now I finally started to create a tool to download setup files and single files IrfanView shipps after installation. That´s what I call a IrfanView repository.
Here is a screenshot of a very early and "quick" version:
The program let you browse to the IrfanView folders - and on the right side you find detailed information about the file: name, version, comment and so on.
The aim for this tool is to download new IrfanView files very fast, without thousands of mouseclicks (like you maybe know from different file hostings sites).
Some technical details: It´s written in c# (Framework version .net 2.0) so it will run under many systems (.net 2.0 framework installed). It uses a repository list, so it´s possible to use other IrfanView repositories than irfanview-forum.de, see screenshot:
The "best" thing: I will release it under GPLv3 - so it´s completly open- source - feel free to contact me, if you want to join the project
I´m working on it - as far as I have a "stable" version I will let you know
Stefan
EDIT: The project- page
EDIT2: Notice: Project has been moved from Google Code to a new location!!!!
