Self-updating program

So I keep running into licenses that don't allow for redistribution or won't give me permission for a variety of reasons.  This isn't the Kitchen Sink if its missing some 30 different programs I want to put in, and my project loses all distinction as being the go-to place or portable software.  To get around this, I'm going to try to work with the Lupo project to set up a self-updating program to pull all the programs in question from their respective web sites.

It will be difficult but if I can pull it off, I can kill several birds with one stone:

1. You will be able to download the core Kitchen Sink almost anywhere -- it will be tiny compared to the previous version
2. I can get around almost any license issue I've come across so far
   
3. It will self-update and (hopefully) keep all your settings the same each time it does

There's plenty of precedent for a program like this.

More language edits and SourceForge

Started a Sourceforge project page in the interests of trying to setup a wiki for the project, discussion group, and occasionally distribute some files.  If someone prefers a service other than Sourceforge such as CodePlex, Google Code, or Launchpad, let me know why and I'll switch.  In the mean time, hopefully the Wiki will clean up the documentation I've been trying to do with Google Docs -- its getting too big.  I also want the project to be edit-able by people other than myself so hopefully this will enable some collaboration.

I'm on track to a 1.1 release this weekend with some more language files cleanup notes:

• Non-english files from OpenOfficePortable\App\openoffice\Basis\share\template\wizard\letter (save about 5 megs)
• PidginPortable\App\Pidgin\locale - non "en"
• PidginPortable\App\GTK\share\locale - non "en"
• Bonkenc\manual - delete everything except for images, style, gfdl, en, index_en.html, and index
• MP3tag\lang\ and mp3tag\lang\icons

Exceptions:

• Going to leave VLC\locale alone as well because I'm worried this might be DVD encoding locales
• Also, leaving the languages set alone in Money Manager Ex just because of the possibility of dealing in international currency

For more language management, check out development.

Windows 2000 testing

Got Windows 2000 working so future releases will be tested on 3 operating systems: WinXP, 2K, and Mac OS X via Crossover.  Considering using ReactOS as well.

Still need a Windows XP 64 bit and Vista tester but until I get a lot of requests from 64-bit users, its whatever.

CAFE config files for XnView

Two programs I've been working with include XnView and CAFE.

CAFE is an associations manager, which is a funny way of saying that when you double-click a file it opens a program to use that file. For example, Microsoft Word opening .DOC files. But lets say you don't like Microsoft Word and want DOC files to open with your editor -- but not perminantly.

CAFE uses a config file (cafe.ini) to manage itself. Well, I set up my previous version of Kitchen Sink with this config file but the latest version doesn't really use Irfanview, which I decided I don't like as my primary viewer.

However, for those of you that *really* like XnView, here's a config file to make CAFE open up everything that XnView can view with XnView.

Maybe someone will find a use for that.
