Development on hold...

[Wraith]

Well, it's happened. And you should all have known it was coming.

XPlode development is now on an indefinite hold.

Main Reasons:

• Going back to uni on monday, and it's quite a full week
  
• It's quite feature-complete as it is
  
• Rewriting code that I'm not allowed to release is a pain
  
• People using it doesn't warrant a complete rewrite
  

And the most important reason:

• It just doesn't interest me any more
  

Sorry if you were looking forward to a new version, but you are probably going to have to wait until the end of the year for such a thing.

I am willing to make minor changes to XPlode 1, but nothing too extravagant.

Expect me to figure out something new to write in the near future...

we are with you all the way dude.

I'm quite fond of that reason myself.

Oh well, guess no conditional statements. lol.

Yup!

There's more priorities in real-life than developing a tool used by just a few thousands of people. [i mean it, not being sarcastic.] What you point out (the last 3 points) as your "Main Reasons" is very true.

hi,

a complete rewrite isn't needed if a few things we really need (like conditional statements and variable-parsing for registry-sections) are applied in a future V1-version.

For parsing variables

old way:

<registry display='changing Temp-Variables...' method='write'>
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment]
"TEMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,59,00,53,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,44,00,52,00,49,00,56,\
     00,45,00,25,00,5c,00,54,00,65,00,6d,00,70,00,00,00
 	 "TMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,59,00,53,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,44,00,52,00,49,00,56,00,\
     45,00,25,00,5c,00,54,00,65,00,6d,00,70,00,00,00
</registry>

My idea of a possibility:

<registry display='changing Temp-Variables...' method='write' parse='true'>
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment]
"TEMP"=(hex(2)),#SYSTEMDRIVE#\Temp
"TMP"=(hex(2)),#SYSTEMDRIVE#\Temp
</registry>

hope this helps a bit

cya
