* Changed toolbar (now it contains descriptions)
* Made some interface tweaks to improve usability
* Removed external tools (useless)
* Massive internal code optimizations

* Optimized buffered procedures (now they are 5 times faster)

* Added Black and FreshGreen themes
* Tweaked the "Classic" theme, changed icon
* Added command-line parameters for "Run" task
* Some of the actions can be made optional, letting the user wether to do the action or not

Inf0Byt3: great! but what's wrong with nullsoft's?

One question though: how do you setup icons on tabs? I find that wonderful.

Cheers and thanks for the freebie.

It's not made in PureBasic :D.

PanelGadget(3, 185, 44, 461, 334)
AddGadgetItem(3,-1,L_Key_175,ImageID(60))
;Here your gadgets on the tab
Closegadgetlist()

Addgadgetitem supports an imageid. You can use normal 16*16 icons :).

Cheers!

I was too lazy to read the feature list, does it support scripting?.

Cheers

Unfortunately it doesn't... Couldn't find anything simple. It seems that users run away from scripting because it takes too much time to learn :/. But I think BIM has pretty much anything you'll need for simple installations. I don't think there's much to be added, except FTP downloading and driver installation (planned).

Great work... I still cannot get it to set an icon on the desktop. I know it is me. I am too stupid. Can you give an example of the internal code to do that? :D

:D

A new version much much improved is on the way. Oh, and even if it would create the shortcut, there is a little bug in the "Working directory" field (kick me). Fix one, break another :lol: .

In the meantime, here's a quick example :).

Cheers!

I have got such a weird thing to report.

If I let your program create the desktop icon. When the user of my program creates the preferences file... it is created on the desktop.

If I open the folder and create an icon the old fashioned way (the right mouse button) the preferences file is created in the correct program folder.

In my program I assumed that the pref file would be in the same place as the program so I did not specify a directory. That way if users insisted on a different install location. It would not screw up the internal locations in my program.

Hmmm???

Oh and 1 more thing...

:D

In the Program Files folder that is created I can only see the weblink and the uninstall program. Even though my program IS in that directory???

That's the reason for that problem :). It's fixed now. In this moment i'm updating the translations.

:shock: . Can you please upload the script to rapidshare (or somewhere else) please so i can see what's wrong?

(OK you can kick me now...)

Script???
What Script???

You mean the BIM file?

You can locate that here: http://www.bluemesapc.com/Downloads/infobyte.zip

I add this so you can see what it does (PB Tool feel free to use!)
