My latest tiny Tracker add-on āOpen Origin Packageā is now in the HaikuDepot. It shows from which package a file comes from.
Open Origin Package is a Tracker Add-On that finds the package(s) of any selected file(s) and opens it in the preferred application.
By default that is HaikuDepot where you could uninstall the package, or look at its description or the āContentsā tab to see what other files are part of that package and where they are.
The source is available at GitHub.
Iād much rather have this functionality in Trackerās āGet infoā panel, see ticket #10528, but my code-fu is just too lame.
Iāll happily remove the package again, if anyone solves that ticketā¦
I upload my new project, a GUI for fan made levelsets of Alex the Aligator 4.
I collect levels from the internet and add a preview picture to the archiv. i create a list to select the levelset and a second one to start beginning the selected level, so people can play the they want and does not need to play other good known levels again and again (Alex4 with custom maps does not have the menu option to select completed levels).
This is a early version, i will work on it time by timeā¦
Normally, yes. Every file that gets packaged gets the attribute āSYS:PACKAGE_FILEā with the file name of its HPKG.
As long as the post-install script copies files that were in that same package, it works. It does not work for files created by the application of that package or, for example, if there were some ZIP archive that gets expanded by the post-install script etc.
Funnily enough, I just recently realized that HaikuDepot doesnāt show the āUninstallā button when started with a package (i.e. itās in āsingle-package-window-modeā). I filed ticket #14821 with that.
Question: Until that ticket is solved, would it make more sense to just open the folder of that package and select the HPKG?
If people wanted to uninstall, they can simply move/delete the HPKG. If they wanted it opened in HaikuDepot, itād just be a doubleclick/pressing ENTER.
(Iāll soon publish an update. If anyone wants to provide a missing translation, please do so at Polyglot.)
Playing around with Alex the Allegator bring me up to search for the colored edition of the PSP port of the game. I found them and create a new package:
