Yes.. Alot of usefull add ons we are getting Robert

Eventually we should compile them ALL in one program and release the whole lot! (As the next big update)

Welcome to the site Solenza

I'd like to see THAT Dude!!
I personally have only been waiting since November 2005 after all

Well, as you've probably noticed. I'm quite busy at the moment with other stuff, which doesn't mean I have lost my interest for DC. I just can't afford spending the amount of time on DC as is necessary to

1) update the amount of plugins submitted via the forum
2) update DC to make it more Vista compatible (not writing to program files folder, for instance.)

Any assistance with this is welcome. For instance, if anyone would be able to integrate the new plug-ins with the installer, that would be great. It's a relatively simple task. No programming knowledge necessary. I will be available for questions, assistance etc by e-mail or through the forum.

I'll post the install script here plus some hints when I'm at my own machine again

Here's an example:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~mp2004/install_script_example.zip

Download and extract to a new folder. Create a folder called 'target' inside this folder. Install the NSIS installer (I made the script with version 2.04, but I checked the script with version 2.34 as well).  After installation, right-clicking the dcleanl.nsi file and choose 'Compile NSIS script'. The installer (dcsetup.exe) should be created in a subfolder called 'target'.

The subsection called "!Plug-ins" controls which plug-ins are contained in the installer. Add plug-ins by adding a line like this

!insertmacro AddDCTFile plug_file_name.dct "Name in installer"

All plug-ins included in this way should be in the plug-ins subfolder. Note that NSIS includes the files as entered, so alphabetical order should be kept manually.

good luck!

Great! Good job. Now indeed releasing it as a new version. Didn't I make you an admin at sourceforge? Then you are able to release the installer yourself, as a new version
We could do this together during a messenger session as it can look a bit daunting the first time.

Sure I can release it, but you don't need shell access (SSH, CVS PuTTY) to release a file, just a FTP client, like Filezilla. Go to upload.sourceforge.net/incoming. Give the installer you created a unique name (like dcsetup1_5_x.exe) and upload it to the incoming folder on the sourceforge folder. Then create a new release of the dclean package in Sourceforge's interface: Go to admin->File Releases. Click 'Add Release' and give it a name. The current release of the dclean package (to which you are going to add a release) is called '1.5.7'. I suggest something similar as a name.

Then you need to set some things right, that I can't remember exactly, but at any rate you should add a changelog (what you posted here is just fine: added this, changed that) and release notes (usually the same as the changelog in my case, since I'm lazy). Also, here's where you'll have the opportunity to select the file you uploaded to be part of the release.

Yes! Cool..

I've updated the installer on my own mirror, the news items, the RSS feed, date of last update, and made your installer the default download in sourceforge.

Thanks!

Not to be a complete pain about this, but shouldn't the update be given a new release number such as 1.5.8 or 1.6 or even 2.0 - or is that still on its way?  Other than that, good work guys
