logandk / unfurl Goto Github PK

it would be great with a progress bar showing the progress of the upgrading of the zip to unfurl

If a package contains a number of dlls only then there is no exe file to run. But it seems unfurl cannot be set to not run an exe file?

The upgrade message on the screen could include the position to where the program is upgraded. It could also show which file is upgraded right now

could unfurl return the path to where it unfurls the zip file?
in a batch it could look like below
Then unfurlpath contained the path to where myprogram was extracted
This feature is useful when one program needs another to run and therefore the path should be set to know where these files are. Below myotherprogram needs myprograms placement in the path

unfurlpath=unfurl myprogram.xml
path=%path%;unfurlpath
unfurl myotherprogram.xml

when upgrading a program then the message is always in the front and in the middle of the screen. But if it takes really long to upgrade it would be nice to be able to move the message or to minimize it

before starting the unfurl process it could be checked if the size and names of the files in the zip file are equal to the ones on the local unfurl directory
This way the unfurl process may be faster
The problem is worst when working on a low bandwidth connection and unfurl is used on a large folder. Some folders have a size up to 150Mb

Maybe it would be easier if the files were not packed so they would not need to be unpacked

Or the zip file could get a code or similar which could be loaded to the local folder. The zip file format seems to have a header with a number of informations that could be used for the purpose
