looks good but i found a bug

in the selection plugin

<autoclose>truea</autoclose>

should that not just be TRUE without the 'a' ?

EDIT:

for the "profiles" example, u have "testing" as default..

the way it looks like u have 2 do it is add the program u want executed in the "profile" to each seperate profile

example:

if i wanted nero in the profile for "Minimum" & "maximum" & "default" id have 2 make 3 sections with 3 different entries for nero ?

Looks like someone's on the ball ;-)

And yeah, it should.

Read the docs.pdf - there's a portion of the XPlodeSelectInstall section that explains configs.

The first config is the one selected by default, and any tag that is supposed to be part of that config can be specified in the configs="..." attribute. The attribute is a comma seperated list. Look at the configs="..." for the tags in the Microsoft Office section.

P.S. I am back biatchez.

And it looks like the documentation is complete too. Cool.

My hat's off to you and your efforts.

Looks very nice!

But when i openend up the gfx xml i saw this one:

<item display="File I/O Testing (not working... yet)">
<!-- still have to ratify the fileio plugin's functionality -->

Is that correct?

Did a little test, and it wouldn't work, so i searched over the place, but didn't found any words on that one.

Can you confirm it for me!?

Because i now that sometimes i don't read so well, and probably messed it up!!

Thnx in advance.

[Wraith]

The selection plugin's XML has the WORKING syntax for the File Ops plugin.

If in doubt, read the docs

(Sorry, I forgot to update the XML's )

The beta version I'm working on has all the XML's updated. Mainly because I've re-added <include file="..." /> - I'll probably fix a few things the put out a maintenance release in a day or two.

Huh?

You mean, a way to make always-selected, hidden item, which automatically gets installed regardless?

If it's what you want, there's no real reason why it can't be implemented by someone else - the javascript.js handles that sort of thing.

If nobody stands up to make the changes, I'll try and put it in the next release. Post a bug report and make it a suggestion.

yeah,i just mean a way to make always-selected,which users can not cancel.just like cleaningup steps/rabbish files deleting and so on,which the maker does not want users to change

if these items can be hiden,it will look better.

by now,i only tested selection part,it seems all ok.following is my xplode.xml.since currently version does not have compulsory/hiden function,so i missed basic essential part and cleaning up part.

still i tested file i/o function,it also worked ok.

bugs:

i found none(maybe my script is too simple )

suggestion:

@files i/o function:i think it will be better if this plugins can tell difference between file and directory

@selection plugins:compulsory/hiden function for items if possible(i am a green @javascript)

dame CRENET

sorry for posting twice

[Wraith]

yeah,i just mean a way to make always-selected,which users can not cancel.just like cleaningup steps/rabbish files deleting and so on,which the maker does not want users to change

if these items can be hiden,it will look better.

I'll see what can be done... I have other priorities at the moment though

@files i/o function:i think it will be better if this plugins can tell difference between file and directory

No chance of that being changed - it was like that with XPlode 1.x, and people ALWAYS got things wrong. This way makes it harder to screw up.

Xplode - What is it?

I just came here from the announcement and everyone seemed so excited, I thought I'd check it out. No "XpPlode is..." anywhere in the forum or on the http://xplode.voidfx.com/modules/news/ website. The FAQ and documentation are mentioned as being in a Wiki, but not available. I downloaded the file, extracted the doc.pdf and was surprised to see that there is still no "XpPlode is..." statement.

XPlode may or may not be something in which I'm interested, but how would I know?

You may be missing a lot of other folks who aren't as persistent as me (or did I just miss it?)
