WUD 2.30 Build 939 Beta highlight

[MrFunky]

When I use this build with windows-xp-sp2-x86-enu.ulz, it fails to highlight already downloaded updates, previously it showed already downloaded updates in green.

Is this intentional and if not could it be implemented/fixed? Don't really want to verify every file to see if I've already got it or not, afterall, isn't the purpose of this app to make it easy?

I get the same results here, and was going to report it myself.

What are your operating systems? XP or Vista? 32-bit or 64-bit?

As a test, I selected one update in WUD to re-download. I opened the containing folder in Windows Explorer and observed while WUD re-downloaded the file. I could see when the old file was deleted. I could also see the new copy grow in size as it was being re-downloaded. Afterward, Version 2.30 Beta Build 939 still did not highlight the update as being downloaded.

I have now tried the same test running Version 2.30 Beta Build 939 on two PCs and received the same results. The first PC was installed with Windows XP SP2 32-bit, but it has been fully patched. The second PC was recently installed with a fully integrated Windows XP SP3. Both PCs have the full compliment of .Net Frameworks, etc. On both PCs, Version 2.30 Beta Build 939 does not highlight any update or category as downloaded.

Here are my WUD options:

• Download Folder=M:\Slipstream\WUD
  
• Product as subfolder = enabled
  
• Category as subfolder = enabled
  
• Show Published Date = enabled
  
• Show Description Tooltips = enabled
  NOTE: All other options are disabled
  

I should note that I am using my own customized .ul file. Below is the header of that file. This same .ul file generates no errors at all in Version 2.25 Build 895. In fact, if I uninstall Version 2.30 Beta Build 939, re-install Version 2.25 Build 895, and reconfigure my options correctly, everything works as expected and all previously downloaded categories and updates appear highlighted in green as expected.
