SectionDivider
I really really want SectionDivider back. My program users get terribly confused without it. Is there any way to get it back?
I'd try copying the source code for SectionDivider from 1.98 over to 2.05 but I have no compiler and don't really know what I'm doing.
Can anyone help me?
Many thanks for your valuable time :)
I think that's old version..... sorry.... :(
The code from 1.98 is incompatible because the components page now uses a tree instead of the list.
You can organize your sections into section groups to make it clearer.
That's a real shame. I use the section groups already which are very useful, but it would be nice to be able to distinguish between different types of section groups.
For example:
|-Program A
| |---component 1
| |---component 2
| |---component 3
|
|-Program B
. |---c1
. |---c2

|-Desktop Shortcuts
| |--shortcut a
| |--shortcut b
|
|+Start Menu Shortcuts
|+Quick Launch shortcuts
—————————————————————
Source Code A
Source Code B
But if it can't be done, then it can't be done.
I will just have to find a way of 'faking' a divider. Any suggestions? NSIS doesn't seem to like many characters. The only lines it can display seem to be hyphen and underscore.
It's not impossible. It's just not implemented because the section groups replace it.
Is there any way it can be added without causing trouble for the dev team?
I don't understand your question. Why would it cause us trouble if someone else is adding it for himself or even to publish?
I was thinking more in terms of requesting the dev team to reimplement it, given that my own knowledge is insufficient.
There's already an open feature request in the SourceForge project page. It's priority is not high.
