Commented files still appear in IDE

Postby JXBURNS » Wed Jul 19, 2006 7:07 am

1. List of files collected via PackageAware shown in both IDE and script.
2. Comment out the files in the script using COMMENT IN/OUT. They correctly appear as comments.
3. However the files are still shown in the IDE as being included.

[Wthether they are in the final MSI I have yet to test for]

This is by design - commented files will not be in the final MSI.

Then could I recommend that they be displayed in a different colour perhaps to show they will not be installed (or the font changed to strikeout). The system at the moment makes this very confusing as there is nothing in the help file to state they will be excluded. When there are 100's of files to exclude I keep having to switch to the script, scroll to find the relevant file, and then realise I have commented it out already.

Thanks - John
