GrxGenerator

About my part in this...

First let me say I would love to have created GetRight myself but I have NOT. What I've done is come up with a small utiliity that might be useful for you as well as for me if you decide to use GetRight. There are a number of ways to tell GetRight to download files, one of them being importing of file lists in a specified format. This is particularly useful when you have a large number of files and you know the name and origin of them but find the built-in tools to tiresome to use.

I've created a utility to generate these kind of files (grx-files). The utility is called Grx Generator and it not only creates the file lists but also exports them directly into GetRight. The program is and will be free for non-commercial use ie you may use it but not sell it neither alone nor included in some compilation in any form without written approval by me.

Am I finally done after a fewweeks of programming at nights on this nice program? It could be but if you find some more bugs in it, please report them to me and I'll try to exterminate them asap.

What's new?
