RemoteMaster Files

This is the first build of RMIR v2.06.  The main feature of this version is the addition of RM Protocol Builder (RMPB) as a third application to supplement the existing RMIR and Remote Master (RM) applications.  This is intended as a replacement for the Excel spreadsheet Protocol Builder (PB) just as RM and RMIR are replacements for the spreadsheet Keymap Master (KM) and the Windows application IR.exe.  Full details of RMPB are in the article "Using RMPB" on the Help menus of all three applications.  There are also some minor additions and bugfixes to build 9 of RMIR v2.05.

As with all new versions of RMIR, as distinct from new builds of a current version, RMIR v2.06 build 1 is only available as a full installation package.  Please note that for the installation to work correctly, this package needs to be unzipped into an empty folder that is not read-only.  For a Windows OS this means, in particular, that it should not be unzipped into a subfolder of the Program Files folder. If you want to preserve your settings from an earlier version of RMIR then, after unzipping the package, copy the RemoteMaster.properties file from the installation folder of the earlier version to that of this new version.  In all cases you need to run the appropriate setup script, Setup.vbs (Windows) or Setup.sh (Linux), to create desktop shortcuts for all three applications, since RMPB was not covered by the scripts of previous versions.

Note that protocols.ini includes no-repeat versions of certain protocols, primarily intended for use by Slingbox files.  Due to the specialized nature of these versions, by default they are not loaded when RM or RMIR is opened.  If you need these protocols, check the item "Show Slingbox protocols" in the Options menu of either RM and RMIR.  These protocols will then be loaded in all subsequent invocations of RM and RMIR until this item is specifically unchecked.
