[PROGRAM] X Plugin Manager : 1.92 : 2026-01-31

I extract files from the archive, and through Cat Manager, if necessary, I unpack PCK files, after which I compare two folders, the old and the new, and get only the changed files.

I made a small utility for comparison.
I'm not sure if there's any point in doing what you want. But it's up to the author to decide.

Thanks, I tried the tool you linked but it doesn't compare a .pck file to equivalent .xml file. It just considers it a new file.

I already understand I can manually extract .pck files and then compare like for like. I'm just trying to find a way to skip a step in this process which burns through dev time.

I'm not sure if there's any point in doing what you want. But it's up to the author to decide.

I think I've pretty well argued there is a point to it. I'm also aware Cycrow has 1000 things on his to-do list so may not happen even if it's a good idea.

I sent you a PM. I updated the utility.
Added optional processing of PCK files.

This no longer concerns X Plugin Manager, and the discussion has been moved to PM.
