RemoteMaster Files

This is build 1 of RMIR v2.11, superseding the last official release which was v2.10 build 9.  ***Please note that the update checker in v2.10 and earlier no longer works, due to a change made by SourceForge.  The checker in v2.11 will work when there are future builds.***

This version provides additional ways to exchange data between RMIR and RM on the one hand and IrScrutinizer and IRScope on the other.  The native file format of IrScrutinizer is Girr files (.girr), that of IRScope is Ict files (.ict).  RM, and the Device Upgrade Editor in RMIR, can now import and export files of these formats.  Depending on the context, for import these are either new file types on File > Open dialogs or on new dedicated Import dialogs, for export they are on new Export dialogs.  Import creates functions for a new device upgrade but cannot create button assignments, as there is no button information in the imported files.  An exported file is correspondingly missing the button assignments, which is why export is only through Export and not Save As dialogs.  RMIR can also export an entire remote as a Girr file that contains all its functional device upgrades, but the structure of Ict files does not support such an export.

RMIR v2.11 build 1 is only available as a full installation package.  The practice of issuing subsequent builds of the same version as both update and full installation packages has been discontinued, so later builds of v2.11 will also be available only as full installation packages.  Please note that for an installation to work correctly, the 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 version 2.10 then, after unzipping the package, copy the RemoteMaster.properties file from the installation folder of that version to that of this new version.

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.
