Progress meter with File.Install

[Sergio_S]

I read in the APMS help that the progress meter is automatically used with some actions but there is not any mention to the File.Install action. Is there any means to show a progress meter with this specific action? If not, it is a good idea to include it in the next version since the install action is a typical apllication for that.

Sergio,

Since there is no callback function for that action then there is no possibility of an accurate progress bar. (I say accurate because you could fudge this using a timer and a video ect)

I will add this to our suggestions section for future consideration. Generally an Installer is better suited to install files but I know that it can be quite handy to do this quickly from within AutoPlay Media Studio 5.0.

Not sure if this will help or not, but this example uses a DLL that I wrote to copy folders, files and subfolders displaying a progress bar.

Hope it's useful.

To Adam,

Thanks for your reply. I agree about the installer and I use it whenever it is necessary, but once IndigoRose has included one action to do that as a quick way, why not to make available the progress meter too?

I agree Sergio. Your suggestion has been noted

Have a great day

I have tried your suggestion and it really works fine. I am sorry but we needed to burn the project yestarday and so we could not see whether it could be used on the project.

Anyway, thank you very much for you help. As allways you are nearby to help us...
