[to developers] Please support in Your applications AppToDate or anothe updating tool

[korro]

Guys,

please create and/or support app like AppToDate (http://www.modaco.com/category/332/apptodate/) from MoDaCo,
our life will be much easier.

It's very easy to implement, new installed application juts need to put xml file to AppToDate directory, thats all.

Many developers are very productive, they updating something in hours.

It will be great, if all apps from xda-dev will have one updating tool.

What do You thing about it?

great idea ... we'll see :)

I second this. I love to see some more programs supporting this.

Beside more programs supporting AppToDate, I love to see some more options for the program itself too.

Definitely +1 to that.

Sample xml file which have to be putted in to '\Application Data\AppToDate' folder:

<application>
<name>NoData</name>
<version>3.08.04.10</version>
<description>Enable / Disable your data connections with a minimum of fuss!</description>
<versionurl>http://donald.modaco.com/apptodate/nodata.xml</versionurl>
<caburl>http://donald.modaco.com/apptodate/nodata.cab</caburl>
</application>

Developers...please add this functionality to Yours apps!

as a side note,
I coun't find a way to shove the required files in the proper dir
so I usually just add a registry setting (during install) and leave the required files in the application dir

works great

if anyone needs help with this send me a PM
