What is the chance that the installer could optionally use a configuration file? The configuration file would specify which shapes to install. It could be edited to include local, custom shapes. The installer would come with a default configuration file that installs the basic set delivered with the package. Both local and Internet public URLs could specify additional shapes to be installed. There should also be a way to generate the configuration file from the program. This would allow one to install shapes and configure until it was considered ideal, then generate the configuration file for use on multiple other machines. Another way would be to reference shapes on a network location and not install them on local media. Centralized management would then be able to control what shapes are available. A silent installer is needed anyway. _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
