DiffusionToolkit VS AutoUpdater.NET

Diffusion Toolkit (https://github.com/RupertAvery/DiffusionToolkit) is an image metadata-indexer and viewer for AI-generated images. It aims to help you organize, search and sort your ever-growing collection, using the data that's right there on the images.

Awesome thanks, I wouldn't have thought to use 'works" I always do JCW or just (Mini Cooper). FYI you can pull the prompt info from the image of you are using Automatic1111 or vladdiffusion, under PNGinfo tab. If not using those repos, something like this works well: https://github.com/RupertAvery/DiffusionToolkit

It's not a website, it's a project.

You could also maybe check out AutoUpdater.NET as another possibility.

Aa others mentioned, it just more common to have an auto-updater mechanism built-in in your app. Check out AutoUpdater.NET which periodically check the server for new versions, download it in background and allow you to present a "update ready" button to the user that quickly restart the app to the new version when they are ready to apply it. A bit like the Chrome or Discord update ready buttons.

Good catch. Hmm, looks like Squirrel might be a no go. Oh well. My examples were not heavily researched. Just something to point in a starter direction. At a glance this looks promising too: https://github.com/ravibpatel/AutoUpdater.NET

Libraries like https://github.com/ravibpatel/AutoUpdater.NET, and plenty of others. This may not fit your needs, but maybe it does.

But it AutoUpdater.NET(https://github.com/ravibpatel/AutoUpdater.NET) does quite the same. It only looks at your own server instead of github. You should be able to get an idea of how it works and how to implement it using github instead.

I have a few desktop apps that uses AutoUpdater.NET to update the app on startup, as well as one app that's linked to a mapped drive. Since both apps are self-contained, it's always been a pain to update them - you either have to copy the entire 150 MB publish directory to your update location, or you have to pick and choose which binaries were updated, which you'd then push into a ZIP folder.
