Hello,

i would like to present my new software named Easy2Install.

It allow to install easiest all archives from MorphOS-Storage.

This a snapshot:

installator.jpg

Many features:
- quick launch of database from MorphOS-Storage and choice by category (last entries, audio, development, etc.): a BIG thanks to BeWorld for this feature!
- extraction to ram:
- verification of the size
- choice of destination path except if installer script is present (it will launch it)
- show readme
- compare version
- doubleclick to launch apps allready installed
- notifications of differents operations

If you want to test it (alpha version), thanks to contact me in PM.

Sounds (and looks) like Grunch.

Things that seem to be missing:
- option for uninstall
- checking and installing needed libraries etc

Yes there is of course similar informations like a package manager

I have added screenshot feature.

The others features will come for next release i think.

Nice one!

All seems to working fine this side, great progress from initial alpha's and beta's.

Thanks MoerBoer for your return

Now i must adapt Easy2Install to archives "not supported"...

Nice prog!!
Window verticaly should be more scalable to minimize - defauilt is too big...
Scrolling file-lists should also be possible with mouse-wheel.

Thanks Amigaharry2

Ok for the GUI, i will do modifications on it.

Mouse wheel work here on filelist and readme...

Quote:I would agree with Amigaharry2 on that point.

@ Papiosaur - maybe a MUI Balance gadget could be added to allow resizing of inner sections of the GUI window elements and the inner GUI image, and any ReadMe/document GUI window size when required?
Quote:It seems you need to activate the specific file list window for it to allow scrolling in that window, but when it is active it works OK for me, as it does for Papiosaur.

@ Papiosaur - I would suggest there be sorting options in each field to allow them to be sorted into some sort of order, as required, be that for filename alphabetically, numerically, or BOOL, etc..

The minimise button only moves the window to the far left of the screen, and up a bit, but does not reduce the size of the window at all, as the GUI elements seem to be set as 'fixed' in the GUI window so they cannot reduce the window size in that way.

It also seems to need an App.icon for when it is iconified.

It will be a way to replace Grunch, to some extent, seeing as it does not support 'https' currently.
So some great work so far, and Kudos to you (Papiosaur) and beworld for taking the time to make it happen.

It seems you need to activate the specific file list window for it to allow scrolling in that window, but when it is active it works OK for me, as it does for Papiosaur.


Aha, learning something new: where can i activate this?

@ Amigaharry2 - Choose some files that fill that field/window and once you choose a file in that window it should make the window active and allow you to scroll through the available files.

I just clicked on the Audio (Categories) and then clicked on the first file, and the window then became active and allowed mouse-wheel scrolling. So, I hope that makes it work for you too.

I mentioned to Papiosaur some issues that are worthy of fixing, which he has already responded to me directly, but I mention here so other users know that these issues have been identified to him already, so they don't get duplicated unnecessarily.

They are in the GUI:

Hiden URL/Size - should be spelled - Hidden URL/Size (2 'd's) (a minor spelling point)
Ram should be CAPITALISED - to - RAM (Download archive to RAM:) as it is an abbreviated acronym (a minor point)

@newsense: Thank you. Sometimes one is blind to see the obvious.....

Hello,

new beta14 available:

https://www.morphos-storage.net/?id=1906410

Thanks for your returns!

Hope to can try it soon. Images are really interesting.
Can destination folders be global configured or only per entry?
I see games in Sys:games/ but I usually have work:games/ and change it game per game or app per app could be very tedious.
