TODO:
-----
- if install script is bad, give option to not use it?
- check miranda installer with other OS's
- read plugin information from scriptless files
- essential packages should be in a bold font - find another way, bold fonts suck
- document the syntax exactly, add DTD and examples as well
- comments inside element raw data - skip? include in data? sort it out for a later version
- small description in <info>
- extsend problem - install another file in tool/plugin? use a new attribute? Class?
- ess packages - color of box should be grayed - nono
- translation... use Miranda's langpack.c? (HeikoH)
- install into subdirectories specific packages (HeikoH)
- Problem with GetWindowModuleFileName... Win95 requires linking to GetWindowModuleFileName
NOT GetWindowModuleFileNameA (The ASCII version) which we always link to since we all
use a MODERN operating system that supports Unicode unlike crappy Win95...
BEFORE RELEASE:
--------------
Read-only files can't be overwritten.
if you want to protect a file, make it read-only.
To Kai: Have a look at Syntax.txt, I've tried to lay down everything we talked about.
The XML structure is pretty much the same, I added a root installscript tag so there'll be
no mixups on the purpose of the XML (And also to keep it according to the XML specs, I guess :))
Plus, I thought about the possibility of Miranda having multiple instances, and runs several times in the background (Or even once :)).
I had a look at how you handled Miranda-running-in-the-background it in InstallMaker, and I think this is best: (generalized)
app tries to find a running window by the class of "Miranda" which module has the same path (not filename, because problems can occur with other modules in the miranda process)
as the miranda we're "working" on :) it's not super-accurate, but it should do the trick in most cases.
Also :), to make sure Miranda Installer knows where Miranda is installed, the user will be given a choice to select it.
The initial directory would be retrieved from the registry (Miranda keeps it there).
Settings are saved in Options.dat, in the same directory as Miranda Installer.
Everything that is saved is actually one structure (MAIN_OPTIONS). Not very space-efficient,
, but it doesn't really matter since it's only a few KBs :)
About getting the type of addon: The type of addon reported in the script
supresses the addon's extension. If there's no install script or the type reported is wrong,
then the extension is used.
autorun is the only section that isn't validated (i.e. if file exists and such)
if the author slacks off and the info in there is wrong, the whole section is ignored
