UpDEnhanced support thread

[jharp]

This is the support thread for the UpDEnhanced extension (windows only atm). This extension is designed to help with some of the pain felt with updates to Fantasy Grounds. UpDEnhanced allows you to select precisely what you want updated. You can update any, some, or none of your application, rulesets, or forge products. Comple control is given to you on what is updated.

Installation details and usage instructions are at https://github.com/jharp/UpDEnhanced

UpDEnhanced can be installed without a license to make certain it launches for you. Afterwards you can obtain a license at https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/944/view

Let me know if there are any requests and I'll see if I can implement them in future releases.

Thanks,

Jason

Welp, I gave it a quick test and I'm absolutely, positively impressed so far. Great work!

[jharp]

Thanks.

I'll be looking into keeping a backup copy of old products locally on the machine prior to update with the option to revert. Not exactly certain how this would work but I'm looking into it.

Dup

[jharp]

Several people have asked for a short demo of UpDEnhanced. So hopefully a short gif will help give some idea of what you can do with it.

So on the Forge product displayed you might notice that the Remote version is build 5 and the local is build 0. Build 0 means that you do not have a version downloaded locally.

So, just to keep things straight.

I have bought this on the forge. Now I should go and follow the instructions at the Github site?

Yes. Although i prefer people to first do the git instructions then once they know it installs correctly, to then buy the license.

Either way works.

I don't think I mentioned this anywhere but if you decide to update the Fantasy Ground Updater you will need to follow the Git instructions again to reinstall the plugin. This is due to the way FGUpdater installs itself.
