Have you tried posting this in the Thor Google group, Bill? Or posting a comment on the Github project? To the best of my knowledge all the VFPx projects were migrated to Thor so Thor's updater should be working.

Anyone want to take a stab at this?

I have a multi-pronged question here. I had (well have) used Thor's update process to update all the VFPx tools pointing to MSFT's former site for VFPx.
Side note: It's apparently undocumented but VFPx tools can still be updated through Thor. So long as the update comes from outside MSFT's dead web site, everything works. Occasionally an update will come through, such as Doug Hennig's new Project replacement.
So, things are now on GitHub. OK. How does one manage this?
- How do we determine which is the latest version? That's a serious
question as there are two places that can have the update.
What tools do you recommend for Github?
Thor would download an extension and put it in a specific directory
for Thor to manage. Let's call it directory X. The Github downloader would ostensibly put it in directory Y. Is there a way to not only point to directory X for a specific GitHub VFP tool but to have it unpacked in that directory?
- How about integrating new VFP tools on GitHub into Thor? Does one
just manually make the directories and update metadata somewhere?
There's probably several more questions but that will get us started.
