Automatically Update BatchPatch

[scotthaigh]

Is it possible to automatically update batchpatch whenever an update is available? I commend you on your frequent updates to the product, but downloading and updating the product manually so frequently is somewhat tedious. If not natively in the product, has anyone created a scheduled task or batch script that will automatically check for a batch patch update and download/expand the zip file? If not, can you please provide the full URL path that the app uses when checking for an update? I’ll try to put a script together using the wget.exe http download utility to retrieve the file in a scheduled task.

Hi Scott – Thank you for your suggestion. I’m not sure if we’ll change the update feature in BatchPatch, but we will consider it.

Currently it will automatically notify you if there is an update available (unless you disable update notifications), but it will not automatically download it for you. However, it does provide a button for you to download it, and then you just have to extract the zip file. It’s a portable application, so there is no formal “installation” per se, so we leave it up to the user to do as he/she pleases.
