PackageMaker

A PackageMaker is an application to create a redistributable zip package. A zip package may contain part of, one or several application redistributable files.

Features

• Zip File Directory: using a treeview with checkbox to include files on a local disk in a zip package file.
  • There should be a package project text file which contains a plain list of filepaths that should be included in a zip package. It may contain regular expressions such as: "script/.*%.lua"
  • the zip directory treeview should also provide a bool function (filepath), that returns true if the file is being used by the system at the moment. Then the user can check files accordingly.
• Package installer script: at the root of a zip package file, there is a file called package.xml, which contains package installation information.
• package readme.txt: it is an optional text file at the root directory.
• package about.html: it is an optional MCML or html file at the root directory.

TODO

• save file txt file
• merge files with another txt files.
• when packaging zip, display a progress bar since it may take several seconds to be done. Use force render method.
• automatically select all files in use in a selected folder
• use red color to show files that are in use but not selected yet. Also in the preview window, precede such files with some mark letters like

  ==some file not selected but in use.txt
  file selected and in use.txt

• when changing file extension filter, already selected files should be persistent.
• when a folder is explicitly checked, it should check all sub folders, but needs to take the current file filter in to consideration
