Endless Paradigm

I began updating all my 5.00 M33 .ctf files to support sub folder systems.
I soon realized how time consuming it was going to be to update hundreds pf themes manually.   So I threw together a .bat script to automate the process.

I may try to do an update if I get the time to allow batch converting. (Unless someone else is willing to )

Also - I would like to do another update and utilize RCO Tool to auto extract and inject the photo/music/video/rss resourses.   As of right now - this will restore them to default  

So in summary:
- 2 versions:

1) Updates Photo/Music to support sub folders.  Also fixes RSS freeze.
2) Updates video/Photo/Music to support sub folders.  Also fixes RSS freeze.

* name your theme "default.ctf", place it in the updater folder, Click
    START.bat - DONE !

Known Issues:
1) restores all resources in photo/music/rss [and video if you use the video version]
    to default.  
2) You will want to manually delete all the files/folders it creates during conversion -
    or it may mix them in to the next theme you convert !!


That's all for now.  Maybe Schmilk can take a look at adding the RCO Tool injections to the script - as he did RCO Updater scripts, and is better at it than me  

Looks good :)

Thanks for making theme updates easier :D

thanks for sharing!

nice, this will come in handy

now I have another reason not to update to GEN :)

thanks

nice dude :)  rcotool scripts were pretty simple.  If you get the old ones they SHOULD still work on the new firmware..you just need to replace the file that it is writing to with a 5.50 file.  but all resource names are the same :) MAYBE there have been some new ones added...

Nice job man.

thanks bro shizzy!

Not need:

dd_helper.prx
dd_helper_utility.prx
htmlviewer_plugin.prx
htmlviewer_utility.prx

My console utility

1. Put CTF theme to this folder "5.00 Hybrid 5.50" and run file 5.00 Hybrid 5.50.exe. Wee need to wait a bit.
   
2. A black console window and the bottom is written "To continue, press any key ...". Click it and wait.
   
3. Upon completion of the program, ready to collect from the theme folder "DONE".
   
4. Your original theme remain unchanged in the folder "SOURCE"
   
5. You can throw the following theme to convert and run the program 5.00 Hybrid 5.50.exe.
   New Theme again to continue in the same folders, as previously converting will move in parallel, adding at 1 in the name.
   

I will post it to QJ forums.
