some new NSISv2 features (from french community ;))
Hi

Here are some things we'ld love to get in the next version of NSIS :
* multi-language support ! This was announced for NSISv2 ! In fact, using the existing fonctions doesn't allow us to tell the installer : is the current language is french, display all strings in french, else, use english as default language ! We have to use seperated exes ! As french translator of NSIS, i could create the french file as soon as this improvement would be ready !
* easier log ability ! Both in official of french forum, users ask for log files ! As they may not have any c++ compiler, can't this be set as default ?
* some guy asked me for not to display space information ! I didn't check, but i think that if we set blank strings (well, with a space, because we don't want the default text to be used), the space values are still displayed ! In fact, when building a patch, these info are not very important ;) !

Thanks for all

Hi there

I agree with veekee..
i just would like to add some features important for me

*icon full fonctionnality : ok it's almost ready but not without bug when you give a icon who are not accepted ( but in the range)...

* dynamic variable for the sectionIn

* FindWindow $0 "Title" > most explicite and more easy to use ...to permit to close any windows.... based with the process name

I don't understand your problems with the icon feature of kichik's mod. Which icons are not accepted?

Do you mean installer icon and uninsatller icon that doesn't match? To make this happen I will have to either implement my resource editor into the installer it self, or to include the uninstaller in the installer at its full size. Both of this options will make the header size grow by at least 3KBs.

I doubt this will happen...

Other features I am now working on:
1) Full color bitmaps in Enabled/DisabledBitmap (already ready, I just need to wait for Sunjammer to upload it)
2) Brand image
3) Full multilanguage support
4) Ability to change default dialog font on script compile time

I won't include logging facilty as the default option... The header size grows by 2KB because of this and people rarly use it.

I will try to do something about that space required thingy...

Do you want anything else? I am open for suggestions :D

I know that there has always been a huge discution about logging ! No matter... i will prepare a log-compiled exe for the french distrib ;)
About multi-language, feel free to contact me for the french stuff (even if i may be away 'til 28th july ;) ... holidays :D)
Great job... really :D
