Description

« Hide

Need a way to use the default installation directory as the install location without user intervention. Certain software must be installed in a required directory and allowing the user to change it invalidates the installation.

I'm proposing a DefaultTargetPanel and DefaultTargetPanelAutomationHelper be added to the panels package (I'm already using them). This panel is a copy of the TargetPanel that merely sets the idata installation location and then calls skipPanel().

Is the default location customizable through conditions (e.g., a specific OS?).

If so then I suggest that you commit it.

Yes, uses PathInputPanel so the same TargetPanel OS specific default directory names are used.

TargetPanel.dir.macosx
TargetPanel.dir.mac
TargetPanel.dir.windows
TargetPanel.dir.unix
TargetPanel.dir.xxx,
where xxx is the lower case version of System.getProperty("os.name"),
with any spaces replace with underscores
TargetPanel.dir (generic that will be applied if none of above is found)
