iLiad Help creating an instaling package

Max · 08-14-2008, 02:43 PM

Hi, I have created a small application for the iLiad and now I wan make an install package.

I have read others aplications instalers, found how to create a .ipk package, but I don't found how to make that the counter manager recognize a file extension and launch my application.

Exist any script in the aplications instalers that makes this?

I have read in a thread that exists a kind of register that controls this.

Thanks for your help.

If you really need to associate an extension with an application, then the file to change is registry.xml. In the past, this was done by directly editing the file. Now we have iliad-regutils (iliad-regutils: Easy editing of the iLiad registry). No matter how you do this, modifying registry.xml is dangerous. At the very least, start out by making a copy of the file and test updating the copy.

Some "stand-alone" applications can be invoked directly from the content lister, without adding a registry entry, but if the application is supposed to work on a single file at a time then adding it to the registry is appropriate.

Thanks wallcraft, I will try the iliad-regutils. The application is a CBR/CBZ viewer and should be invoqued when you open one of this types of files.
