file/directory and hide window questions

[gmx]

1. file and directory operations: is there a way to get wihu copy/move/delete files and directories?

2. is there an option to hide window

[installation screen that may popup sometimes - like the 7zip unzipping window when ryanvm's dotnetpackis unzipped]

kinda like hide=true in xplode

1.) why??? not necessary, there are system functions already available. Either use "command.x=cmd /c @xcopy ..." or "command.x=cmd /c @batchfile.cmd" and include "cmdow @ /HID" somewhere at the top of the called batch.

2.) Run your app using an AutoIt-script and this little tool gives you control over windows.

Hi,

The question to include copy/move/delete commands is not an invalid question.

Sure one can use batch files to achieve this but from a perpective of managing applications and writing ini files to do so it's much better to have an overview of

application installation in conjunction with the file handeling commands for this

install.

When you try a modular approach on config files, xplode seems handle this in

a more clear way by using one single xml file to do all. On the other hand xplode

lacks functionality that is available in WIHU which supports 'if then' queries, also

does not provide user interaction.

You could use them both I guess, but I'd rather have all the functionality in just one configuration file instead of heaps....

Ok, may be I'll add some direct operations in future version.

Things that may be added will be copy, move, delete.

Expected keywords will be:

command.0=@delete
command.1=@copy
command.2=@move

Expected option switches will be:

/R: recursive (include sub directories)

Allowed Syntax:

@command [/R] file1 [files2 ...] files.*
