Been doing multiple projects at once, have just updated it to work with updating Freedrive for CdRSkuLL. Doing music next, if I get time this weekend I'll do an upgrade Interchange and release.

Any updates on this one lately? I haven't seen anything posted about it in a while...
Cheers.

Hi Edrex,

Been doing a bit of work on it, trying to get updating for the latest version of FD working at the moment, just doing some testing, once happy will release to the forum.

Sounds good. I am really looking forward to the release, so I was just worried that it had been abandoned.

**Gobby** · 06-27-2005, 01:23 PM

Nope, not abandoned, just changed the way it works and made it more substantial, there is now a desktop app as well as a Car client.

New features will include:

Ability to copy music to RR Music Path
Ability to copy FD updates including speedcams etc
Update skins within RR
Choose whether to overwrite keybtl.ini,exectbl.ini and rr.ini
Update 'Launch' items in RR
Ability to set interchange as the shell (to allow full RR updates)

The idea is to place the USB Drive in the USB port and the system will fully update automatically, including Music, RR, FD etc.

I am hoping to write it for all frontends not just RR eventually, its just that I'm using RR at present and it has a good sdk.

Can't wait to check it out...any idea on an ETA?

Yeah sorry ... been really busy recently, will try really hard to get version out this week.

Cool...good to hear

There is a FREE Program where you can do updates automatically when inserting a USB Memory Stick.
First, create a batch file on your stick and call it AutoCopy.bat and write your code in there like:
Copy \*.mp3 C:\Songs\*mp3 /Y
This will copy all mp3 files on the stick to C:\Songs and overwrites any duplicate files. You can update any folder or files, just add more commands in the batch file.
Here is the link to the program.

Install the program and follow the instructions. When asked what program to execute after inserting the USB stick, point to AutoCopy.bat file on your stick.
Now every time you insert the stick it will automatically run you batch file.
Works like a charm.

That was not mend to rain on your parade. I just use this for a while now and it works perfect so I thought I share this with you guy's. I am sure your solution will work too, just saves you some time.
