as everyone knows, msgplus live now supports script. RE: suggestion:about script by vikke on 08-14-2006 at 10:29 AM Yeah. Some more script facts would be good. RE: suggestion:about script by Menthix on 08-14-2006 at 10:34 AM
"date of install" and "description" should be easy to add, and I agree it would be useful. RE: suggestion:about script by markee on 08-14-2006 at 01:34 PM These sound like very good ideas, I quite like them. They would become useful for the likes of my gradient script I think, especially while I'm continually evaluating it, adapting it, expanding upon and just changing it in general. This would help people relise that there ae newer versions a lot more easily rather than hoping that the script has an about UI that you have to check. RE: suggestion:about script by Dempsey on 08-14-2006 at 01:49 PM I still think a built in update system, similar to the FireFox Extensions update one would be great, but I think Patch said he'd leave it to script devs. RE: suggestion:about script by Menthix on 08-14-2006 at 01:58 PM
quote:True, but I am talking about leaving it to scripting devs. But there were already plans on this forum from somebody who wants to write a script that can check for updates on all installed scripts. All that would be needed for that is a generic method to get the versionnumber * Menthix hopes RE: suggestion:about script by Yil2201 on 08-16-2006 at 10:15 AM I second you Could be a great idea and useful. I made an update form for my new script ( AorSCS which will be released tonight or tomorrow ) using Delphi. I can share he source-code if anyone want it to add to his script ... About the version, we can put it in the ScriptInfo.xml, there is a <Version> line, isn't it ? So MsgPlus_ Live can take the v. number ... no ? RE: suggestion:about script by Menthix on 08-16-2006 at 04:25 PM
quote:Yes, true... but the problem right now is that sctiptwriters aren't required to use the <Version> line, so a lot of scripts don't use it. Because of that it's impossible to create some generic method to detect the versionnumbers of all installed scripts. It would be awesome if all scripts were required to use the <Version> line. RE: suggestion:about script by Yil2201 on 08-17-2006 at 04:37 PM
Yeah... or maybe... sdministrators of ScriptDatabase ( like u MenthiX ) could modify the ScriptInfo.xml file of each script and put in those the version number or contact the autors and ask them to add the version number in the next release of their script ... too big work, i can imagine ... And you have other things to do... but if an evening you get boring in front of your pc ... RE: suggestion:about script by Patchou on 08-17-2006 at 06:49 PM I don't want to force people to use <Version>, if developers who update their script should be happy to use it on their own, I don't see why it should be required (if it was, everybody who doesn't use it right now would probably leave it to 1.0). RE: suggestion:about script by vikke on 08-17-2006 at 07:08 PM Safety maybe? RE: suggestion:about script by step_on_hen on 08-18-2006 at 10:10 AM
make it autoset on scriptDB update... incrediment the version by one... |
