Digit Software Archive with GUI

[nims11]

few weeks ago i posted my command line version (here) of digit software archive (YADSA). Now, using Qt, i have given it a GUI. its my first Qt project (and my first open source one too!!), so please suggest any possible improvements, bugs, feedback.

in addition to GUI, i have updated the archive which now ranges from July 2005 to July 2011(except april 2010).
(thanks to QtXML and official digit archive's .xml file which had the data till december 2009). i then parsed the rest of the .xls files(converted to .csv) digit posts in its feedback section to update my archive.

Nice software, but I've seen like thousands of people making Digit Archive softwares. Why not make something unique that the whole digit community can use in their daily life?

i don't think that there are any DSA currently that is updated upto current date. that's why i felt a need for one and made it.

any ways its just a beginning.

Nice job nims11! Quite an effort must have went into this. I wish I can adjust the width of the columns and view the items in a list view kind of interface, but nevertheless it's an excellent effort.

Oh, and btw, I have created a Setup program for YADSA, since I liked it that much, using a freeware. Setup program ask where to install the program and it also makes shortcuts to the desktop and Start menu. Also it includes an uninstaller too.

I thought if you have released it under Open Source, you won't mind a little professional touch!

You can get the setup from this link of mediafire.
YADSA-2.0-beta-win.exe

main post updated.

@vineet369 Thanks for the suggestions. Will try to implement them. and thanks for creating the setup , adding your link to the main post.

@nims- Good work man, really appreciate your hard work May be sometime I'll learn from you how to do it

@Vineet- Nice support buddy.

@Vineet- Nice support buddy.

Thanks, but the real credit goes to nims11.

@vineet369 Thanks for the suggestions. Will try to implement them.

If you are really going to try to implement them, I would like to clarify even more. What I mean by list view is that, it would be better if the results are shown in a gridview like interface, with columns like name, size, freeware or not etc, and which allows us to sort the columns.

Kinda like this freeware works like, Cathy. Cathy - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

And thanks again, for this awesome app!

need a favour, DIGIT hasn't uploaded the .xls file of its DVD content yet. Can anyone zip and upload the xml folder present in the root of each DVD?

 

[Vyom]

^Sure. I have received the Dec edition. And I am on my way.

Update: My computer is getting hang, and now I am unable to even log in to the OS.
Will upload soon, as the problem solves.
