RE: [suggestion] Remove all files before import option in ScriptInfo.xml
I suggested this months ago, and since I don't think it got a good response (I can't really remember), I made my own extra script for that.
Basically, I remove all files and sub-folders that are not in two lists (one for files another for folders), plus I use a "lock" file for Polygamy compatibility.
The problem with the XML file, which I can now see, is that you have to think of all version upgrades. If you changed files in version 1.0, then in version 2.0 and finally settled for another file in version 3.0, you have to make sure the commands in the XML file don't mess different upgrades.
Instead of setting a "RemoveFile", I think the idea is to have a flag tag like "RemoveNonListed" (or some similar name, to express that the engine must remove all files that are not listed in the package being imported). That way, you don't have to write down each filename, you won't miss one and you won't misspell one.
Hack, hack, hack!
