Hide Script Tabs When in MSICode

[MattWilkinson]

When I click on the MSICode tab I see all my scripts open in the main window - there doesn't seem to be any way to close these? I only want to show a couple of them at a time and the screen looks very congested.

Is there any way to hide these script tabs or else some way to remove these from the InstallAware file so they are not loaded?

Thanks

Matt,

I could never find any method to hide them or close them from view whilst keeping them eligible for use in the project. I removed a reference to a script file in the .mpr project file (in my project they appear towards the bottom). I kept the Include Script statement that referenced it, but as expected, the compilation failed with the message saying the script was not found. It would have been nice if you could remove them from the project but still keep the Include Script integrity intact by reference the filename on disk. Alas, it seems you can't do it.

Guys,

You are correct - all included scripts are always visible in the MSIcode tab.

OK - can we add a feature request to be able to close tabs then. I have around 15 scripts in my setup but I only edit them rarely and some of them I have never edited (such as those included with IA) and so it makes the interface very cluttered. Most commercial programs allow the user to close tabs (SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio 2010 are two examples that come to mind)

Gets my vote too.
