Suggestions: Date Driver Update Released / Date Patch Added Columns / Autoupdate Improvement / Error Message Improvement / File Ownership Merge Request

Suggestions provided by @Spaatz1402 on the keylase/NVIDIA-patch repository regarding the Win_1447_Apply_Patch can be found here.

Hello,

I love your tool but find it a bit daunting to determine when I last applied the patch and would like to save some time researching all of that before simply applying the latest patch.

Here are some suggestions I feel would be good for your application:

1.) The error message when trying to reapply the patch could be updated to indicate the patch has already been applied.
2.) The file ownership rights issue should be pushed to the main version because nearly all files I'm getting from NVidia these days are locked for editing until I take ownership and thus this installer fails. I'm using a forked version of this tool that has the functionality required. Perhaps merge that functionality? Win_1337_Apply_Patch_v2.1_By_DFoX
3.) The documentation screen / table which lists the patches, driver link, version number, etc. could have two additional columns:

• A.) Date patch made available
• B.) Date of Driver Release

4.) Adding an automatic update feature to the application to identify the correct patch needed, download the update from GitHub and apply it to the driver would be ideal.

Thanks for taking the suggestions into consideration and thanks for your work!

Thank you for your suggestion; I will consider enhancing the error message to indicate when a patch has already been applied.
