Universal HISE Downloader/Installer
-
@d-healey how about expansions? I think I saw you were using .hr1s for these. I had problems with permissions when I used this method previously and ended up doing a zip download / install and a separate system files installer.

@DanH I don't use hr1s, they are too limited. Everything is delivered in zip files.

@d-healey ok, my mistake! So any system files come down in a zip too?

@DanH Yeah everything is in zips and will be extracted to where they're needed.

@d-healey nice. And is it made with HISE?

@DanH of course :) it would probably be more flexible if made with something like Electron but using HISE has certain advantages.

@d-healey the filesystem apis are pretty awesome in HISE tbf

Thanks for the feedback, looks like it's worth pursuing. I did a little work on it this evening, the account login/logout works and synchronising products with a server.
The next thing I'll do is get the actual download/install action working then it will be ready for some testing.

Just an update on this in case any of you are holding off making your own downloader.
I'm not currently working on this downloader project and won't be any time soon. At the moment I have too much other stuff going on. But hopefully I'll find time at some point to get back into it.

@Straticah Would still absolutely love this

@griffinboy After building Rhapsody I went off the idea. Managing one site's downloads is enough work for me. If I was doing it as a commercial product then it might be worth my time, but then I'd probably have to make it closed source which I'm not going to do.
