[Fixed] Source Links on App Pages pointed to incorrect locations

The following apps' Source links used to point to incorrect locations, however this has been fixed. (Thanks John)

Fixed

That list was a lot longer than I thought it would be when I started making it.
I see John T Haller fixed them all, so: YAY!!

Why?

If some one wants to view source code they will need to download it won't they? Just saving a few clicks........

Static

We keep the link static so it doesn't need to be updated for every release. Plus several apps have multiple source files. And it makes it easier for someone to find older versions.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Don't Give Up

It's just one more thing to update (amongst like 12) for each release. And since only a couple dozen people download the source... and they're gonna be geeks like us anyway and can handle picking the right version... it's much easier to leave it be. Especially as every single app has differently named and version ordered source files (unlike the apps which are all in our filename setup).

John Beat Me

But I was going to say that when I click a "Source" link, I either expect to See the Source, or to see what I'll be downloading, then I choose weather I really want to download the source right now or not.

Fixed

the fix so now it conforms to the method of fixing being static

Wow

Wow, the list is quite impressively large when you look at it on the one page (I knew quite a number of the apps were affected, but wow...). I've just posted an apology for not mentioning it sooner in the original thread that 3D1T0R linked to above - so again, sorry about that everyone Sad

I used to have a sig...until one of the mods ate it

np

It's not a problem that you hadn't mentioned it before, it's just that if you had mentioned it earlier, it could have been addressed earlier.

All Fixed

I'd hit up a lot of these as we updated apps and in spare time here and there, but I just went through every one of them again now to be sure and updated all the stragglers. All of the app pages now have direct source links which saves folks a couple extra clicks on SourceForge.
