Archive: my feature request list


my feature request list
This is my small feature request for all the NSIS2 Developers out there :)

1) easy to add Start Menu Folder Dialog (maybe in a plugin or a macro?)
- since most users like me are to lame or lazy (or both) to this by them self's

2) 7z compression it's one of the best format's I know and it's OSS.
- for that really big app that need to be compressed to the max.

3) $USERDOCS var with points to the user "My Documents.
- I really need this for my Save Games installer's.

4) dirtree to nsis script File instructions
- because it's a pain to write then when you have to install allot of files :(

5) improved zip2exe options with: icon, license text, gui and xpstyles picker
- also for my save games installers :D

6) !define COMPANY in Modern UI macro system would be nice
- but not really necessary I already worked around it

That's all I hope you don't find my feature request lame and even include some in the final NSIS2

release :)

PS: The Latest CVS build documentation is terrible please put it back with all chapters and content

showing in the index (I find it hard to find stuff like it is now)

Using: NSIS 2.00b0 CVS Build (Today)


1) StartMenu.dll, already there
2) In progress
3) http://www.clantpa.co.uk/nsis/wiki/i...olderLocations
4) File /r
5) No can do, that's a basic convertor, you want more use the real makensis.exe

Today is old news ;)


Thanks
Thanks, I guess i'm happy to be too late, still felling very stupid didn't noticed the startmenu.dll :(

PS: And i'll start checking the Docs before opening my big mouth


How about and option to backup files to a variable location similar to the $INSTDIR (Maybe $BKUPDIR?) so that when a file is going to be overwriten it will first move it (with recursive) to the $BKUPDIR..

It's not that common... The macro I gave you does its work perfectly.


In all fairness.... the macro you gave me worked wonderfully... thank you thank you thank you...

Was just thinking of a feature that could be turned on...
