  • I just wanted to give a sign of life. It is long time ago since the last official activity - my job consumes most of my time... Currently I am working on a new tool, for which I will release an experimental version soon. wktools Version 3 and 4 seem to be stable, because I received no complaints the last few months. If you don't agree with that, feedback is very welcome!

  • The developement of the Scheduler takes more time than expected.
  • At this time everything is finished except the Windows Task Scheduler part.
  • Any feedback to wktools is welcome
2007-06-20
  • I am currently working on a Scheduler. With this it will be possible to configure Tasks for saved profiles for all tools. The tasks may run on demand or may be scheduled as Windows task. It will then also be possible to start a tool with an associated profile directly from command line - no interaction with the GUI is needed.
  • Please contact me if you have any special needs regarding the scheduler or want to test the already available functionality right now -> wktools@spoerr.org
  • Hopefully wktools Version 3.4.0.0 will be released at the end of June. 
  • Right now the Scheduler GUI and the On Demand Scheduler is already finished. The command line enhancements and scheduled tasks are in developement.
