Congratulations, Walter!

Your first 'official script' is great

I included into nativeEx_barebone with 'factory settings' (did not change anything).

During build, it did some downloads etc. and in the PE it ran well!

Independent from the 'install' itself:
Your script already uses the actual functionality of WinBuilder, like multi language interface.

One hint: The number of quotes is already very low, but still could be reduced.

Currently in my opinion quotes theroretically may be necessary only in 'arguments' of ShellExecute (I'm not sure, maybe they are not necessary there, too)
Spaces, commas etc. can be replaced by the according #$?. And then the quotes can be left out.

A script w/o quotes is processed faster!


Peter

EDIT: To avoid troubles and misunderstandings by new users: The 'quote' issue affects only the script code written by the user, not e.g. the [Interface] section, which is maintained completelly by WinBuilder.

[MaineCoon]

Thank you for your answer, Peter and especially for the hint, will have a look on it.

Hi Mainecoon

nice script, only one thing
why downloading to target ,
as a result with everybuild i download to target,
instead of downloading all the time with everybuild livexp scripts prefer downloading to %globaltemplates%
and for vistape compatibility:

If,NOTEXISTVAR,%GlobalSupport%,Set,%GlobalSupport%,%BaseDir%\Workbench

If,NOTEXISTVAR,%GlobalTemplates%,Set,%GlobalTemplates%,%GlobalSupport%\Common

ps: on vistape project i guess oneday %globaltemplates% will be standart, till then this is the method used.

here is TeamViewer4 script for an example of usage webgetting to %globaltemplates%

maybe a webget folder %globaltemplates%\Irfanview_Mainecoon
will be nice

http://apps.winbuild...llonious.Script

thanks for the script

[MaineCoon]

Merhaba Lancelot,

Thanks for the link to Billonious' TeamViewer4.script, the hint to %GlobalTemplates% and the code. To say the truth I've never tested this variable, but will do so as soon as I can.

Script updated to version 2:

Changelog:
- implementation of %GlobalTemplates% (Thanks to Lancelot)
- new interface
- some unneeded quotes removed (Thanks to Peter/psc)

Hi MaineCoon

Sorry for later answer
Looks wonderful to me, some minor comments:

*
It is interesting you packed a script (not reg) full of reg settings in IrfanView_Registry.7z , i couldnt understand why you did that !? (maybe for gaining 50KB )
*
Also i feel it will be wonderful if you pack iview423.zip into the script and unpack if not exists (i read about.txt of irfanview , and take a look of website, i couldnt find any sign for not distributing )
*
*+
as you make interface for both languages (which i did once, i know it is not easy) only 1 comment:
Writing only %globaltemplates% is enough (Reminding Nuno's minimalistic approach for gui of projects )

with english/german interface, removing pTextLabel17 and replacing as shown

pRadioButton1="%GlobalTemplates%",1,11,260,390,120,18,True

pRadioButton2=%ScriptDir%,1,11,260,410,120,18,False

pButton1="Open folder",1,8,386,390,100,40,FileExists,"OpenFolder.bmp"

(pButton1="Ordner öffnen",1,8,386,390,100,40,FileExists,"OpenFolder.bmp")
looks better

*+
try to keep in default wb gui in your future scripts which looks better

*
Also, please add 2k3 support , i dont think there will be a problem for irfanview. LiveXP supports 2k3 source and we recommend freqently to users who dont have native XP source as it can be downloaded trial from MS site freely .

*
And minor advice, avoid using version number on filename and title, it is hard to update and easy to mix scripts in different folders. (verify of livexp/nativeex catches same named scripts and moves old version out keeping the new version ) better writing version of the utility on description.
And also better giving a unique name to the script (i mostly prefer author name )
IrfanView_MaineCoon.script

And a last touch to main section (giving contact info forumpage is important to get support in future )
[main]
Title=IrfanView_MaineCoon
Description=IrfanView v4.23 A very fast, small, compact graphic viewer. Needs XP-CD or Vista-DVD, WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit) not allowed.
Contact=http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7609


here are the minor changes i made only on interface&main sections with renaming file.

Totally, i love your script, it shows how hard you work on it and i understand you love irfanview , keep the good work, Welcome

[MaineCoon]

Hi Lancelot,

Sorry for late answer but at moment I am short of time.

Thank you for all your hints, will add them in next version.

Download of 2k3 trial has been successful this afternoon, will burn a CD tomorrow. Shouldn't be any problem to add 2k3 support to the script but it might take some weeks.

Regarding the download of iview423.zip: it was not a question of legality, the WebGet command has been the first command when I started with this script and I was so happy that it was working and then I never changed. But I agree, I should also consider the download speed - will pack it into the script.

It is interesting you packed a script (not reg) full of reg settings in IrfanView_Registry.7z , i couldnt understand why you did that !? (maybe for gaining 50KB

You're right. I was not sure what to do with 568 lines of registry settings and what's the best way - enlarging the script or integrating the lines in a txt file? So I decided to use the txt file. Is there a better way I do not see?

Thank you also for the RAR.

MaineCoon

[Lancelot]

MaineCoon:

Is there a better way I do not see?

yes you are right, adding reg lines to the script cause space but as a result it is more open and also helps to make searches easly too with search utilities like agent ransack

1 way (i never use) to decrease size is using variables for most used lines, look post 123 but it wont help you to decrease line number so i guess better not to use.

Well i dont think using .txt file in irfanview will be a problem as it only makes registrations to files types. Project scripts (at least LiveXP never) try not to use your method , xnview script contains totally 5317 lines but no restrictions to individual apps scripts


Keep the good work Cu soon.

Thanks a lot


and here is a recently developed good news for you for your future multilanguage script projects
http://www.boot-land...?showtopic=8019

ex: (sth like)
IniWrite,%IrfanINI%,Language,DLL,"%LangFILE%_TW.DLL"
changing to
IniWrite,%IrfanINI%,Language,DLL,"%LangFILE%_%LocalizeISO3166Country%.DLL"
........etc etc


take a look, I am sure after writing 30 language support manually (including Esperanto ) you will understand

Hmm I don't know.

I mean, one with a nick like MaineCoon can at the most do some CAT TYPING:




Here is supposedly an actual snapshot of MaineCoon at work during a pause :



Or are the .scripts a joint effort?


(Don't worry, just a senseless reason to post a few cute pictures of cats )

Seriously, I guess it's more than time!

Before receiving complaints by the WMO (World Mice Organization) , there are different levels of courage among mice:

you should say "as a fainthearted mouse"

Your Simba does actually look a bit similar to the image of the cat sitting on the laptop keyboard I had found, really a beautiful cat.
