Apparently I have an addon called "cLayout" and it's out of date. Eventhough I've never ever even seen nor installed that addon. Now, if I delete it, will it delete the addon that it thinks is cLayout?
Edit. (It did) I just noticed the "Installation Folders" part, but... LazyAFK != cLayout, doh. :s
Edit2. How do I make CC realize that the addon folder LazyAFK is an addon called LazyAFK, not cLayout? Deleting & installing again via Client doesn't help.
(Talking just about the principle really, I don't expect to have a need to update that addon ever, but what if that happened to be some other addon that actually was in development..)
I've looked into that, and in that case and a few others we have a problem with authors uploading zips to the wrong project. I'm going to work out something so we can get this fixed.
/Seconded tbh ...... however /que dramatic music and thunder etc etc
I have a small number of addons that are not found on Curse, is there a way to manually key in the info for them, or is that maybe some up-coming feature ??
Apart from that, very impressed with the latest build, keep up the good work >-)
No there isn't. We're are however planning a system that'd allow background syndication of projects for the client. It'd be on a signup basis by the authors though. We're not WowMatrix, we won't go out and just rip off the other sites in the community.
This sounds like a case of the automattic dependency resolution. If an addon is flagged as requiring another addon that other addon will get installed along with it. We're going to be working out a system where you can easy see what addons depend on each other and what addons depend on a given one, etc.
basically this updater is nice, but unless it supports every major ui site it will be quite useless.
also i don't like that is tries to stay in the background in some sneaky ways (that service as a default option; close to tray).

You cannot force different UI sites to suddenly develop a system, that suits all their needs.
The current Cc client is a lot better from where it began. There are a few things client side, that are not so easy to solve. As well what is a good default behavior.
I am using two clients for two addon sites and they tend to work without problems.

It defaults that way because it is meant to be ran that way. There is nothing sneaky or dishonest about it. It is also fairly easy to change it so it won't run that way.
As far as the other. There is no plans to hack in support for wowi, wowui, or any other addon site.
To do so would be illegal and immoral.
1) We don't have permission to distribute the author's work.
2a) We'd be stealing bandwidth from the other site OR
2b) We'd be hosting copyrighted material without permission.
3) We'd be stealing potential ad revenue from those sites.
4) We'd become a horrible hypocrite after our criticism of other updaters.
There are more but I won't bother saying them. So while your comment is a nice back-handed compliment it's fairly useless until your realize that there are serious issues that prevent your lofty end game.

Would be nice if some day the BIG sites made some sort of combined updater.
Fortunately I only get addons from Curse/WowAce and WowInterface these days, and WOWI's favorites tracking is pretty good (much better than Curse's which - last I checked - shows phantom updates to favorites when there isn't a new version to download). I probably have to manually download and update an average of one addon per day from WOWI, and the rest is from Curse via the Curse Client.
Kaelten Not sure if people tell you alot, but great work done by you and your team. I use linux myself and xpt for auto-client-updating it works flawlessly. Recently switched to the alternate packages. Took 3 clicks or so and loged in with 0 problems. :)

I know that is isn't easy or particulary nice to include every site, but that's just want the wow community wants/needs.

2.1.1.12.RC1 is the first version I tried that did work in Linux and updated the addons with no issues. However, I can't do that anymore, on login window I get prompted if I want to install the update to the client, and regardless of choosing "Yes" or "No" the client crashes. I've uninstalled, cleaned up the registry manually, nothing worked.
Did you have to do anything special with wine to get it to work? I use Gentoo on AMD64, wine-1.1.4.
I have a suspicion this is tied to a new version being available for autoupdate, whereas before when the client worked fine, there was none. This mightn't be what actually happens, but I wonder if there's a way to fully disable client updates through the registry?
Other than that, it's coming along nicely, hope I can iron out those problems and then use it as the default updater!
Mists, one thing i found is, as you said, the client up and crashes hard when a client update goes out. I have to uninstall the current one and install the new one and everything is back in order. So basically you have to run the latest for it to work.
All in all, working great. My only tiny request is to get rid of the little popup progress windows unless it's updating an addon...it's slowly getting annoying seeing "Scanning directories" every hour or so :)

OK cool, I guess that pretty much confirms the theory that the updater crashes the client under Linux. Now, I've no idea where I can get the latest version for standalone download, I'd appreciate if you can point me to that. :D

i've tried the way we use to use with the old version, but it doesn't seem to change anything.
am i missing something?

Actually don't do that. Read this: http://forums.wowace.com/showthread.php?t=14361 then slap yourself and feel bad instead :p
Select all of them and then hit reinstall.
