Great! Will promote that feature on my site. We can now easy install Graphics. Maybe make a possibility for reading Zip files, and install them from there?

yes .. this will be too ...

Will it be able to convert DOS graphics to Windows, and vice versa?

dunno ... probably no because it is part of GrfWizard (it uses grfcodec anyway) but I'll consider it if more people will want

I don't know if anyone is interested in this project ...

Current updates: (new version unavabile yet)
- making log file with graphic settings
(which files are enabled in newgrf(w)txt, which are not, date and time of grf files to check if someone has the newest version)
- some bug fixes
- comparing date and time when instaling grf file

Future Edition: (this will be for sure)
- backuping exe's (just started preparing)
- I'll add possibility to change newplanes,newtrains,newships,newrvs in cfg files , only those 4 switches)

Possible changes: (probably will be not done due to hard implement)
- converting dos graphic to win, and win to dos
- changing program to browser type(like acdsee etc,) with possibility to see preview

Seeing this thing sunk 3 pages deep, digging it up right now.

Shadow, what about combining this manager and my site, for example GRF files can be downloaded immediatly from my site, a PHP page makes a list of available files, you list that in your program, then users can make selection(s) and the program downloads it and installs them.

I do not think so ....

it will not downloading files only installing them

What does this error means?

those files are entry from newgrf(w).txt, so it is something wrong with that file (in that case there is empty line, which I forgot to not checked)

well I decided to create version 2.0 of Graphic Manger ..

however I do not know if anyone is using it ? if it is worth doing it then ?

anyway anything that I can reveal is that Graphic Manager will have option to connect to Internet (but I won't tell you currently what for)

Personally I'm not using it, but if you're going to update it, please rename newgrf(w).txt to newgrf(w).cfg. I'll rename that file in the beta test starting next week.

Just so you don't have to make two releases because you didn't know...

right .... thanks ...

First Release of Graphic Manager for TTDPatch 2.0
can be found HERE

Is that a update

And you can look at my site for # 'o downloads to see if anybody is willing to use it

And I placed the new file on my site. But didn't update link yet, is it okay

first it is new version of program ... older one is obsolete due to file format (newgrf.txt changed to newgrf.cfg) and this version will contain some extra stuff, I hope (like counting total sprite numbers, extract GRF file information)

and your site gives after clicking on Graphic Manager (change the name):

That's becouse there is no image

so put anything or try avoid it ... it makes it very bad looking ...

I know, I made a code that avoids this at my own server, but owen's server just has to display the error , look at these too: http://ttdgraphics.cjb.net/graphid.php?id=15 adn http://ttdgraphics.cjb.net/graphid.php?id=16 they are the same

Shall fix it a.s.a.p

Do something like:
Alternatively (or in addition), stick an at sign (@) in front of the function that displays an error. It'll still generate an error, but it won't be printed to the screen.
