Re: Album Art Downloader
I like this program but it is not portable.
Modifies the registry, writes to %appdata% and I'm pretty sure it needs .net v2.0.

Re: Album Art Downloader
Actually .net v3.0 here's their page on Hydrogenaudio
I'm a little curious, why would you add something to the database you haven't even tried/tested?the accountant wrote:Added to Database. Please vote if you like it. I found it by accident but havent used it myself.
Re: Album Art Downloader
I tried it, it works. It also hits every single music vendor in sight.

Wonderful except it's not portable; breaks many of the ideals set by this site and the OP didn't even bother to test it first much less check it for portablilityflector wrote:I tried it, it works. It also hits every single music vendor in sight.
PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT WITHOUT TESTING AND DON'T SUBMIT THINGS THAT ARE NOT PORTABLE. If you don't know what the community considers portable, then read the forums and don't submit til you understand.

I think we all understand the point of portable apps, otherwise there wouldnt be so many users here. I tested with MJregwatcher and previosly with regfromapp. However i forgot that .net is on my machine. I dont like submitting stuff here which gets rejected when i get .net back from the main players. Do you think i like wasting 15 mins of my life each time i submit a listing? I just spent the morning trying to remove .net from win 7 x64 using dotnet cleanup tool which does not work on this os! Maybe you prefer that people dont try to submit apps to db and just list them on forum and expect others to do their work as was the previous case here - I dont! I want give back to this community as much as i get. And before you say Sandboxie, a 64 bit version has only been in play since 1 month. I just started using this morning because this app has not been 64 bit before whereas my machine has been 64 bit for 1 year.
Maybe you can use you excellent understanding of software to create a proper .net uninstaller for windows 7 or create a online virtual test environment for this site rather than criticize honest mistakes!
Re: Album Art Downloader
I don't think .net can be removed from win7!
It is an integrated part of the OS, not an addon like before.

Re: Album Art Downloader
No you can remove it, http://www.blogsdna.com/4171/how-to-com ... dows-7.htm but it will probably break the system. For example I think Microsoft Office relies a little bit on .NET

Re: Album Art Downloader
I have no idea (didn't add it, didn't vote it). Maybe my test was off ...
Re: Album Art Downloader
I think it does not (any more) write to registry, but it does still leave a folder in AppData.
The settings there are, I would say, non-crucial. Deleting it does not break the programme. Maybe a launcher could take care of that.

1. user.config in AppData\Local\AlbumArtDownloader\AlbumArt.exe_Url_badoot4fiifhnrxtcstjqvwnajrfhuef\0.44.0.0
2. boo script cache.dll in AppData\Local\AlbumArtDownloader\AlbumArt.exe_Url_badoot4fiifhnrxtcstjqvwnajrfhuef\0.44.0.0\Scripts
@Emka
How would you go about disabling auto check for update if you delete the config file?
