Here’s another preview of the new Installer Maker. Below follows a list of new features in Installer Maker.
This is what Installer Maker 1.7 will look like. we changed the interface completely and added a really cool new feature: running applications and scripts before and after installation. As you can see, we also removed the old tab bar and added an all-new tool bar in the top of the window.
The picture shows the panel to set up additional applications and scripts. If a LiveCode stack is selected, you will be able to choose a handler name to run when the stack opens.
- We have reworked the interface, particularly by removing the tab bar and adding a completely new tool bar
- The ability to run scripts and applications before and after running the installer has been added; supported are: Revolution/LiveCode/MetaCard stacks, AppleScript (.scpt) files, Visual Basic Script (.vbs) files, Mac OS X applications (.app) and Windows executables (.exe)
- Commandkey-1 to Commankey-5 are handled ‘slightly’ better in the IDE
- In de Edit tab, files could sometimes not be removed; this bug has been fixed
- on Mac OS X, the installer log is now UTF8 encoded
- this version is meant to be compatible with LiveCode 5 (please report any problems)
- this version is also meant to be compatible with Lion (please report any problems)
- install optional alias in Dock on Mac OS X
- we disabled arrow key navigation in the Installer Maker window because it was confusing
- small language improvements in German installers
