Embedding prod numbers in filenames and generating HTML lists of files
category: code [glöplog]
It was fairly simple to write, but I like to polish my code.
Anyway, here's the latest version, complete with source: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13r6GyipWT2GLoeFOsoUtBlKE41RG55d7/view?usp=sharing

I don't honestly see copyright messages in demos.
Because if not stated otherwise or regulated(by a contract) the author always retains the copyright, even if unknown.
Also, putting things on github doesn't even force you to use an open source licence.

I used to use Borland Delphi 3 a lot, back in the day, and I never thought I'd come across an open-source environment that was so similar, but updated. I lost my Delphi 3 CD-ROM many years ago, and when I found a copy on torrent a while ago, it turns out it didn't run in Windows 7, and yet apps I wrote on it still work in Windows 10. I think it was the InstallShield installer that was the culprit, but I never knew how to install programs without such an installer.
PouetLister has become LinkLister! (FWIW)
I've modified the app so that more websites than just Pouet.net can be linked to with the generated lists. As long as there are URLs with the unique id on the end, it should work fine. Tested with Mod Archive in addition to Pouet.net, but should work with Demozoo and others.

I've found linking files (prods, mods) with URLs quite useful in not just recovering files, but the fact that there is the information about each prod/mod right there, in terms of popularity, stats, and comments.
I will eventually get around to putting the app on Github, although I'll have to find a FAQ for all the terminology I've seen at the site, it looks overly complicated with the jargon. I guess I just need to learn.

Foebane: thanks, and good luck with the jargon! https://desktop.github.com/ is the link for GitHub's desktop client, which might help with the learning curve.
