There's bee a change request, to have a wizard for program definition, as we have for options.

Here is a beta of WPI with configuration wizard. Try it. Post bugs.

Version 3.1 (beta)

Any suggestions ?

[EDIT]

Some bugs with deletion fixed.

Minor layout changes.

Quick jump to program column for better navigation

Perhaps an var to disable the config button?

When I delete the last 3 apps and want to save...there's an error and wpi doesn't load the other progs....anythings wrong there...wpi deleted all progs

Something with a value of the prog is in the error message.

i tried to delete in your example the first office entry and i gave me an js error when i tried to save.

i thought it was beacause of some dependencies but even after i deleted all 3 first office entries i received this error when i tried to save:

(my translation from italian)

prog.value is null or it's not an object

file: configwizard.js

line: 95

i then closed the program, when i reopened it there were 0 entries.

i like the form but the presence of every single variable, even the ones not so frequent make it looking a little heavy

Nice changes Hasi.

Havent tested it for bugs though.

Ok. It's definetly buggy. Will fix it soon.

So which ones should I omit ?

Bugfix done. See first post.

@hasi

what about a color picker? lol , instead of having to find the color value, for say

<u><font color="#FFAAAA">Execute</font></u>

u can implement 1? i use colorcop to find this, but it'd be quicker if it came with 1

EDIT: wat about a drop down box for catagory? so we dont have 2 type "multimedia" or whatever every time?

sincerly your lazy wpi fan

must be possible with javascript. post a link to w free working sample and I'll incorporate the color picker (if possible - there's always a few problems with HTA and popup windows)

Dropdown box won't allow a new category to be added.

im not sure of a javascript colorpicker, but the program im refering to is freeware if u wanna try it (?) colorcop

Now this is a BIG improvement hasi congrats

Will go and try it out

Well christmas is over and all visitors are gone so i will have a bit more time here...

hasi.. javascript color picker

well, with new layout and with the navigation panel i think that no others changing in GUI are needed!

great job

thanks

hasi, for me theres a REALLY big lag when opening the config page , it takes like 10 seconds to open

options is ok, can the config be sped up?

No. can't be done. It takes time to generate the HTML. This is because i have to do some regular expression replacements, when inserting the HTML for a prog.

If you want to know more, look into common/configwizardtemplate.htm. At some positions you'll find the string %pn% which is searched for and replaced by the programs sequence number. This is mainly to have distinct form names.

So frmcfg%pn% gets frmcfg1 for program number 1 and so on ...

If you want it faster, you'd have to buy a more powerful machine.

Sorry.
