Package Creator |
|
Function |
Script to create a package installer-updater called Package Creator. This creates packages of scripts from a default folder of scripts without the need to resort to scripting. Scripts can be selected from the default folder and installed as menu items, sub-menu items or library files. Spacer bars can also be added to menus. The advantage of using packages, as opposed to installing individual scripts, is that packages can be more easily updated and the ordering of scripts in menus easily maintained. With individually installed scripts there is no easy way of checking to see if the most current versions of scripts are installed. This package creator includes a robust version control and update system, and permits easy sharing of package configurations between PCs. |

Comments |
Updated in v2.2 to address a minor (non-fatal) window error in GMS 3.x caused by script changes introduced with GMS 3.x. If you are using GMS 2.x there is no need to update. If you are using GMS 3.x - the error message, which appears when launching the script, can be dismissed and the script works fine thereafter. Alternatively, install this version and the error will be gone. There is no new additional functionality in this script compared with v2.1. An extensive set of instructions with some tutorials on how to use Package Creator are included in the downloadable zip archive. As no new funcitonality has been added in v2.2 - the instructions, which are for v2.1, have not been updated. |
