Dolphin 4.0.2

[410172]

After talking with the person who create the update future for our Populous Reincarnated Matchmaker, I have gathered some information which might be useful for the project.

He said it was actually quite simple to create an update future:
- the program downloades the newest files to a temporary location
- the current files should be renamed
- copy the newer files to the Dolphin directory
- delete the renamed files and the temporary directory
- launch Dolphin.

I asked him how to tell the program what version to download and he answered:
- Make a list of hashes of the new files
- let the program download the hash and compare the files with the current files. If they are the same, the program won't be updated and Dolphin will be launched. If they are, well, follow steps above.

This program can be created using any programming language that allows a created program to download, rename and copy/paste files. I can add that it should have the abililty to launch other applications like 7zip (unless developers would not give there updates in .zip files) and of course Dolphin.

Any more knowledge is of course very welcome. I don't know anything about programming language yet so this is your chance to teach me

p.s.: when enough knowledge is gathered I am definitely going to give this a chance, so I am actually going to try to create an update future. Hope you have nothing against that. It will be holidays then anyway.
