Would you consider adding a version number to the download file name? I keep a small archive of older versions for everthing I install, and would like to be clear on while file has the latest version. Thanks!

Normally I would but with two items in ZapTools (ZapImport and ZapInterface) there is not really a single release number. For instance....only ZapImport changed in this release so ZapInterface is the same build number as the previous release.

Perhaps I could add a date to the file name.....but it would be just as easy for you to do when you download the file....just change the name you are saving to include a date.

I had been trying to number them myself, but ran into the same conflict due to the version number of each part. I could go to a date system.

It is helpful though if you could do it on your end. When I go and see this thread (or the duplicate under "community announcements") again in a few days, I am likely to get excited and attempt to download it not being sure if I already have the most current. :eek:
