Some of my addons keep re-re-re-updating themselfs after hitting the sync button, even though i havent changed anything in UA. After checking the extracting in the debug log, I noticed that UU does not extract .bat files out of the addon zips downloaded, so in the next iteration of checking for new stuff it stumbles over the .bat file in the xml and say "hey, dont have that file, so the one on the server must be new!".
So I would suggest you change UU to either extract everything out of the zip or skip the xml check of the files you dont want to extract.

Code: Select all

you can see there that no .bat is extracted.

"Die Datei [file] konnte nicht gefunden werden." == "The file [file] could not be found."

ps: i hate this german stuff screwing up my debug log, thanks ms for localisation at places no one wants!

just cross checked it and uploaded the addon zip without the .bat file. now UU stays put after the initial upload.

You can manually change UU's localization

Ok found the problem with U.U. The problem is that U.U. Doesn't unzip any files that can be harmful to the users system. files like. .bat, .exe, .jar, .vbs, .com are all files that can damage a computer system if it where to have some kind of virus. this is hard coded into the U.U. If you download the Source Code and change out some of the extension checking then it will allow to download.

Is it not possible to force UniUploader not to take care of these files because now it's a blocking issue.

Like I said right now the Developer have Hard Coded the file types in the code so if you have VS 2003-VS 2005 you can edit code to unblock the file types. There is no section of UU to allow any user selection of what file type to block. Until there is on kind of update to U.U. all you can do is edit the source code and re-compile the application.

jLapLaca is right, and I have no intention of making the "blocked extensions" list non hard coded.

I will also code UniAdmin to not scan these file types either

I suggest you tell the author not to include .bat files in his/her addon.

this is pointless and you know it, besides its not the best solution either, as we would start hunting around for addon programmers to talk them into doing there addons in a certain way.

But with Zanix change in UA we should be all set, thanks! Just ignoring the possible bad files on both sides seems a much more better solution

yea your right
