FileSystem browseForDirectory + Server.downloadFile

[DanH]

@d-healey so you supply the plugin and the standalone? and use the standalone for the server stuff?

[d.healey]

@DanH Correct. You can use Engine.isPlugin() to determine if your app is running as a plugin or as standalone and disable/enable stuff accordingly.

[DanH]

@d-healey ok, but then I guess my idea of making a separate app by the same name might actually work then. Will give it some thought, thanks

[DanH]

@d-healey so your app downloads and unpacks several zips, and updates the link file, all with one button?

[d.healey]

@DanH Yes essentially, but mine uses expansions so there can be multiple link files.

[DanH]

@d-healey yes I'm just looking through the code in your repo.

If you want to integrate my system into your app send me a message and we can discuss licensing.

[DanH]

@d-healey GPL ;)

[d.healey]

@DanH Even better, take all you want.

@d-healey :)

Just going back to the snippet you shared with me earlier, in the download function f needs to be defined as a file but this file will be different for each OS so.... how can I define it as such? Another if statement?

inline function startDownload()
{	
	Engine.showYesNoWindow("Select Folder", "Select the destination folder", function(response)
	{
		if (response)
		{
			FileSystem.browseForDirectory(downloadsFolder, function(dir)
			{
				if (isDefined(dir) && dir.isDirectory())
				{
					Server.setBaseURL("https://myserver etc");

					var f = dir.getChildFile("MAC-INSTALLER.pkg"); // HERE
						 
					download = Server.downloadFile(url, {}, f, downloadCallback);					
				}		
			});
		}
	});

@DanH Look at the part where I set the URL based on the OS. You can do the same thing for the file name.

[DanH]

@d-healey Yes, think I've got it working :crossed_fingers:
