If there is anyone interested, I will be happy to hand over the keys.

You guys are awesome. I switched to ubuntu, and now understand how nice it is to have "apt-get" and your disposal. Big props to you guys, for trying to get this to work in Windows. its pretty amazing. Not so much a comment to this article, but more in general. You guys are awesome.

I have a suggestion, which you may have already implemented. If so, please forgive my duplicating someone else's input. How about allowing me to "scan" my existing PC and then somehow export the detected apps to a file and automatically load all those onto my new pc? That would be even cooler than selecting from a database? Thanks, Jay Hi,

This would this be a nice generic way to support program addons, especially if you can specify it relative to the install path of another program. Could be tricky taking Vista UAC folder redirection into account, though. I think it would be very beneficial to be able to specify per-application install directories.

That's why I added the -V flag to the AppSnap CLI. It exports the app entry in the appropriate CSV format which I then copy/paste into Zoho Creator. Unfortunately, this CSV import feature is only accessible to the administrator so if it makes it easier for you, just email the CSV to me and I'll import it. You can run a command like:- appsnap -n NewApp1,NewApp2,NewApp3 -V That will export all your new app entries which I can then copy/paste into Zoho. Hope that helps. Thanks.

That would make submitting a little less error-prone, for me at least. Feel free to google "round tuit" and "greasemonkey firefox" :) On my “round tuit” list is to write a greasemonkey script that will parse an ini section and use it to fill in your app submission form automatically.

Make some xml(or something) file format that can contain the information appsnap needs and app creators can put them on their download site. If 10% of the developers does this it will save a lot of time. Actually the best ppl to maintain the database is the software creators.

The database, which was originally an .INI file in SVN has been moved to Zoho Creator so it is now possible to have multiple people add applications as well as give specific people access to manage the database. This is even described on the AppSnap website under the Applications tab. The -a flag was to make adding entries quicker. At this point, the database is ready to be maintained by anyone who has the skills as well as the interest to do so. Just that I'm yet to hear from anyone who is interested to do so. Thanks.

The Idea: 1. Let AppSnap detect installed applications (search \Program Files, search registry ...) 2. When AppSnap "see" an installed application is not in DB, let user tell you more: The right name of the application where to download new version/update ask him/guide him to install/uninstall it by -a flag ... 3. let him to upload the information to an "sandbox" 4. make an process of quality assurance (DB testers, cross reference (similar app from various user is more reliable then from one, contributors classification ...) 5. push it to the DB The step 4. is important, you would not like to let users add an syware or viruses. Hello

I am wondering why you do not make “database creation” a community work.

The Idea:

1. Let AppSnap detect installed applications (search \Program Files, search registry …)
2. When AppSnap “see” an installed application is not in DB, let user tell you more:
The right name of the application
where to download new version/update
ask him/guide him to install/uninstall it by -a flag …
3. let him to upload the information to an “sandbox”
4. make an process of quality assurance (DB testers, cross reference (similar app from various user is more reliable then from one, contributors classification …)
5. push it to the DB

The step 4. is important, you would not like to let users add an syware or viruses.
