    bluediamond, even if you didn't see or even mean your "opinion" as disrespectful, that may not be how others see it, including Alpha. It's always good to keep in mind to be careful of our words as they can be misconstrued and have unintended consequences.

    As far as the updates go, u don't have to keep up with them. Just keep it at your own pace. Alpha is keeping it at his. ;)

    And others, let's all keep our heads cool. Nothing good will come of a needless argument. :hangloose:

    Peace and respects to all.

    Hi
    I wounder what "LDR Mode" and "Dircectory/Sub directories" does?
    i'm noob so sorry :/
    "Dircectory/Sub directories" is it like direct hotfix integration, does it replace files and add registry entries, eliminating the need to execute hotfixes during windows installation.

    soory for my bad english

    Awesome work Alpha, it's looking sleeker and sleeker.

    One request though, an option (possibly by default) where after it finds updates it auto downloads the lists that update lists section, or in the update lists button, has the option (current lists) to update them.


    would be nice rather than having to click each list each time.

    I think this is just a classic case of people from different cultures taking different meanings from something. I could tell immediately that Bluediamond was joking, or to be more to the point, using sarcastic humour. He actually meant what he said as a complement to Alphawaves, and not as a derogatory statement.

    Please think before you jump on someone, as we are not all from the same countries and cultures, and language can be a tricky thing at the best of times, and can easily lead to misunderstandings and problems, especially the written word when you do not have the ability to see the persons face, or hear the tone of their voice. :)

    Hi Alphawaves,

    While integrating updates into iso/folder, what type of checking is done?
    If an update doesn't integrate, is there a message? Log?

    I can recall watching dism apply updates & seeing a few of them not reach 100% but I got no error
    and the batch just continued on.

    Thanks m8, testing the latest edition now...

    Suggesstion for GUI:
    Code:
    [*] fix "Minimize button" that had dissappear when downloading
    [*] fix the "Maximize button's" behavior to work correctly
        ("Maximize button" will dissappear when it had been maximized, it should be changed as a "Restore Down" button appearance)
    [+] added ability to check if the download was 0 byte or uncompleted
    [*] Anothers button should be disabled if it not functioning for the current selected item
         (ex. i click Downloaded Tab, and then check one of the downloaded items, so the below button that couldn't be functioning should be disabled 
          in order to not confusing user).
    [+] Add [Schedule] button to download in specific time
    [+] Add option checkbox "[v] When download was finished:"
    
    • Hangup connection - or -
    • Shutdown Computer - or -
    If not checked then normally Generate Log and display the RESULT.
    Question
    Code:
    [?] What does for the Extract button
    Thank you

    No problem man, besides I want to apologize to bluediamond for the last post of mine, definitely it's a cross-cultural misunderstanding due to English is not my native tongue. My bad. :bashtroll:
    Moreover, post deleted.

    (OP)
    At the moment its still a little bit of a problem when you have 500+ updates downloaded, as its not just loading them into view its counting each size of them to display in the downloaded tab within the space of a few seconds. Ive added optons not to load downloaded or display the size in v1.1.8.3.
    Yes i did just say v1.1.8.3 :laie:
    Ive changed the versions to a more acceptable layout so future versions wont look to big..
    IE:
    Code:
    v1.1.8.9 > v1.1.9.0
    v1.1.9.9 > v1.1.10.0
    v1.1.20.9 > v1.2.0.0
    Might sound confusing but it does look better
    Im working on a few things for v1.1.8.3 so please bear with me.. :)

    I have been using and liking this app with win 8.1. Thanks for a useful app. I was wondering if WHD could be used to batch install updates which
    I have already downloaded into win vista ? Thanks for your reply. undine123

    @Alphawaves

    A little report: i just found that in the iso creation section, if you made an iso with the "bios+uefi" option enable, the created iso file doesn't boot in efi mode.

    Small bug found with the downloader.... not know if reported before did do a full re-download of all updates, it shows a big red cross again in the bottom part of the downloader...
    Downloads continue but apart from the progress bar and the red cross all text display is gone after an error....

    This just for your information....

    Sorry if this has already been reported, but I’ve noticed when starting WHD, after the downloaded Update List are checked On-Line, Windows7-x64, Windows8.1-x64 and Windows8.1-x86 and possibly other New Updates List are reported as available. However, after re-downloading these newew List the previously downloaded list are not replaced.:confused:
