News, dukus?

 

[dukus]

I make some progress...
News:
- Customize the setup (in single setup file, you may include more version of a single file, like SVN and stable version of same plugin )
- Post setup action (when the setup done, run the configuration.exe or a plugin setup)

In dukus.extra.hu the upload option is available, just registration needed.

Thx, goes to Fr team, zebons, Scubefr.

I see that finally you develop that functionnality ;-))
Nice, how does it work ? Is it based on groups and files mapping into groups ? Where can we declare which file put on each version ?

 

[dukus]

In Setup->Setup Groups
In first tab define the groups and in second tab map the files to group.
Multiple files with same name isn't allowed, use OuputFileName properties

And Where du you define which group for which version ?
For file renaming it should be better to have an InputFileName Properties, so the file name change only in the package and remain the same for users no need to rename files before importing into the package.
For example : after having imported a dll for a particular version, if you try to import the same filename for another version, MPInstaler ask to define groups first and assign the fisrt dll to one group, the internal filename become <filename>_<group> and the OutFileName is automaticly define with filename value. Now we can import the second dll without any problem and affect it to a second group. So no need to really change the real name. What do you think about ?

 

[dukus]

The group option was made to help making more packages in single an reuse some files to save some space and bandwidth. Distributing more version the same plugin it is a usage this option, but not necessary the only one. To support more files with same name it is difficulty, needed a lot of code changes and testing and i think usability is low it is hard to identify the files. The support site is now online it is usable and in sort time we migrate to official site, in mean time use my site.

Unlucky nobody want to use this format, and i don't know the reason.

Great that you can now add two versions in one package. I've used it for the UitzendingGemist plugin and found that it works nice, apart from two things:

1) It crashed when I tested it within MP 0.2.2 stable dir. I'm afraid you have to release two versions too
2) Is it possible to have 'common files'? For example, in my plugin I use some images that are common for every skin, but it seems I have to add them for every skin I import.

When i start MPI installer it starts up great, but when I select any button it gives me the following error. Any idea how to fix this?

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
