This topic is meant to place beta versions of winbuilder.exe build 053 - please use the stable versions until you feel confident enough to use the available files in this topic.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beta 1

- Fixed a bug on Exec command wich outputed wrong result messages.
- Added the hability to run section [process] inside the project file (script.project) -

Advice: On distribution 052 there is already a [process] section inside script.project on the standard project with some code - you need to manually remove it.

Beta 8

- bugfixed the internal inf2script tool to correctly add "" on each converted value on registry keys of type 0x3 and 0x7
- DirMove has also been improved to allow moving files and folders silently - allowing to use *.* to only move files and subdirectories from a folder

- Replace the individual script update button with the option to run the selected script
- Added a global webserver edit option for using updates from alternative webservers

Beta 9

- bugfixed webdownload - was not decoding filenames properly and wouldn't download filenames with spaces
- when winbuilder.exe is started for the first time without any project available will jump straight to the download center tab
- bugfixed regwrite - wasn't supporting empty 0x1 entries wich created registry section keys
- bugfixed regwrite - 0x3 keys were also not being correctly handled

Beta 11

- refresh button will also reset the script window, whenever possible it will also try to re-select the previously selected script
- edited the description on the Paths tab to warn first time users that each project holds independent values
- re-added dependencies with the difference that now it is needed to add the path to the needed files or scripts - please use %basedir% to avoid to fixed paths (check explorer.script as an example)
- added the option to add scripts wich are incompatible when one script is selected (example: ramdisk vs fbwf), also valid to any sort of file if found.
- created a new section in tools where it is possible to convert files into native .script language, removing the respective buttons inside the source editor. BartPE plugin conversion is still incompleted - it's preferable to use external tool to retrieve accurate translations in the meanwhile.
- bugfix on filesearch - search is not case sensitive anymore
- removed the Archive folder and moved all static references to the Projects folder

- folders wich contain script.project files will use these files as description - usefull for describing projects just by clicking on the respective folder
- when a script on local host has a bigger version than the one available to download from the web server - it's not marked for update.
- Added support for using localhost even when not connected to the internet (or any network connection at all) - and use a download server from a local http server (localhost) - great to speed download testings, e.g.: http://localhost/winbuilder
- Added a button to stop the download process
- When running a single script - script.project variables are also loaded
- readded command "ShellExecuteEx" - similar to ShellExecute, but will launch the the program and continue to run the script

- Added the hability to run section [process] inside the project file (script.project)

Now the project itself can do the Clear Target.
Currently there is a

Exec,"%ProjectDir%\script.project",Check-Clear

in MakeDirs.

OOPS!

Does not work because

[process]

If,%pCheckBox1%,Equal,True,Run,%ScriptFile%,ClearTarget

does not evaluate the checkbox.

Try

[process]

Message,"%pCheckBox1%",Information

If I run (any) single script in WinBuilder 053 beta1, i get a "Browse for folder" window open and an error as in the attached log.

That's the new 'exec [process] in script.project' feature.

Delete the [process] section in script.project.

BTW: This is described by Nuno in the first post.

Actually Winbuilder doesn't repalce any variable

[pscEx]

buildModel deletes the $ModelRam folder after zipping it into modelram.exe.

With version 053 an error occurres.
Unlocker shows:

A lot of open handles!

Running the same project with 052 released, all is ok.

Peter

[Brito]

Really strange..

053 beta 1 is not very different from the published 052, will do some testing and see why this is happening - does this occur with a specific script or I can test it on any regular script?

If it's only happening on 053 with buildmodel, would you mind posting a test script for debugging this issue?

Thank you!!

It is also with the complete target dir.
I got the issue above when I manually tried to delete &ModelRam.

I just got it with 052, too

I've read it, but I wasn't clever enough to understand it.
edborg

[Brito]

I think you're quite clever - However I've read my post again and it's not so clear to understand what needs to be done in the first place. I guess that my written english can be tricky to understand sometimes (a good reason to re-read my own posts to check if I have managed to express my idea correctly..)

Thanks Nuno.
In case it is useful to others, I've subsequently checked that deleting those lines of code (which is necessary for 053 beta) could/should be done in any case, as it does not prevent from using also the previous stable release (052), if one so whishes.

@Nuno: I have found a bug: If there exists a variable in script.project with a predifined value and I use the set command (from the script.project) , the scripts "see" the old value and not the new

If the variable is defined inside script.project or winbuilder.ini and you change it using the set command - this new value should be available while this script is running - after it finishes the script it will re-read the variables from winbuilder.ini or script.project to start with fresh vars..

Or is this not happening?

If not, can you post a small test script to further debug this behavior?

Thanks!!

What you describe is exactly what happens but it shouldn't happen

[Brito]

What you describe is exactly what happens but it shouldn't happen

I've been working further on this, but it becomes harder to know wich variables came from which file - it is a cleaner process to just read them fresh from winbuilder.ini/script.project and then the script file.

To overwrite this process you can always use IniWrite to write a new value for the value in question inside the global files winbuilder.ini or script.project - on the following scripts this variable will hold the new value..

Beta 2 is available on the first post..

Here's a quick list of changes:

- Corrected the System,RefreshInterface message to: "System - Refreshing interface after finishing processing"
- Wizard window for encoding files was not centered when using desktop with two displays - fixed
- SetVars now support automatic update of all variables with new value
- Encoding tab presents filesizes in Kb and Mb (files inside scripts need to be re-encoded to reflect these changes)
- Links in the support tab have been updated
- Added quick-close, whenever the Escape key is pressed on the main window will quickly exit the program.
- Added a backup tool to make safe copies of Projects, Archive, Tools and ISO folders

The last improvement added was the backup tool wich I thought it would come handy for quick saving/restoring work folders using diferent snapshots.

Let me know if you like it..

Addition of a way to expand all "+" from a project.

Do you think the tools folder needs to be included?

I thought since there aren't many changes on tools it wouldn't be needed, but will add it also..


Another question: Do you think the UI is intuitive enough?

No, it's OK. Really, it's not that necessary.
I only asked because you stated it was already there, and I thought it was me who couldn't find how to do it.

The interface is quite clear, indeed.

Beta 3 is available, here's a quick list of changes:

- Added right-click menu options for expanding and colapsing sub-items on main window.
- Added a download tool for browsing files available on servers.

It can be found on the first post of this topic.


On this beta the download tool is introduced and allows to view files listed on a file called updates.ini located on a server.

This is the first test to this tool so functionality is still somewhat reduced althought you can use a direct link wich will allow you to open/save the selected file.


It is not exclusive to script files, any filetype can be added and the syntax will allow for different versions with equal names to be added - this is handy for developers who wish to keep a list of available file versions.

At this moment the update server is fixed on http://update.boot-l...Kit/updates.ini but it will likely be changed to allow user defined servers.
