Feature Idea

Hi guys,

Y'know that bit of writing above the install progress bar? I think it'd be good if you could change it to something you want.

So instead of seeing a million things flash by in one second, you can have it so it says 'Installing Program Files', 'Creating Start Menu Group', etc.

It seems pretty easy to put in the script too. You could have:

InstallWritingThingy 'Installing Program Files'

...and to revert it back to displaying the files and stuff you could have something like:

InstallWritingThingy -

Thoughts?

Sounds good.

I'll add the following command to my upcoming release:

ProgressText [set] "Blah blah blah"
ProgressText auto

Expect a forum announcement about my changes to NSIS some time this week.

Just wondering if this might make it into an official Nullsoft version some time soon.

I'm adding an instruction, SetDetailsPrint, which can take one of the following parameters:
none
listonly
textonly
both


So basically you can do something like this:

SetDetailsPrint textonly
DetailPrint "Extracting files.."
SetDetailsPrint none ; this could be 'listonly' if you want them to be listed in the list view
; extract a bunch of files
SetDetailsPrint both ; back to normal


I'll be putting 1.62 up this afternoon.
