Enabling auto-updater for Artemis etc on startup (Windows)
Hello and Happy New Year all, my first of possibly many questions to this list (so please be gentle!) should hopefully be an easy one. When at Matt's iFEFFIT session in Melbourne at the start of December, I changed something in the updater.inifile (in the config directory of ifeffit) so that Artemis and Athena didn't attempt to look for updates when those programs are started. Of course I did this from a hint by Matt - now I'd quite like to reenable that auo-update and I don't know what to change. I know there's a newer version or two out there (my Artemis version is 0.8.002). Here's what my updater.ini file looks like [updater] next_checktime = tomorrow update_site = http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/updates/ timestamp = 1137635213.22 http_proxy = timeout_connect = 60.0 timeout_download = 2400.0 Cheers, Simon.

Simon, That updater.ini should work, but there were problems with looking for updates in the first release of Ifeffit 1.2.8. I'd suggest installing ifeffit-1.2.8a, which has a fixed version of the runner program and is better about handling the case of not being able to connect to cars.uchicago.edu (say, a machine with no networking). The other possibility is that you need to set a proxy for outgoing web connections. Do you know if this is true or not? Like, do you need to set a proxy in your web browser? If so, you probably need to set the http_proxy setting in updater.ini. Hope that helps. Again, I'd recommend a fresh install of Ifeffit 1.2.8a before trying to diagnose the problem. --Matt
