Starpacks - Setting Description, Company, File Version, etc... information
in [TCL]
|
From: kbercaw on 1 Oct 2009 10:24 When I create a starpack the .exe file has some information encoded into it that I would like to change if possible. Hovering over the icon produces a tooltip with this info: Description: Tclkit, a standalone runtime for Tcl/Tk Company: Equi4 Software File Version: 8.5.2 If I look at the windows properties of this file, this information and more exists: Copyright Language Original File name Product Name Product Version is also set. Is there any way to control this information? I am not able to locate info on the sdx.kit wrap command options (only that ?options? is available). Maybe there are some options that allow me to set this information. Any help is appreciated :-)
From: kbercaw on 1 Oct 2009 11:01 A bit more information: I found hints that this data may be able to be set using the starpack meta data. I tried the adding this header to the file however it did not work for me. # @@ Meta Begin # Application "My Application" 1.0.0 # Meta Description My description # Meta Company My company # Meta Platform My platform # Meta Copyright My copyright # Meta Language My language # @@ Meta End I saw that meta data can also be stored in a separate file, but once I again I can't find the wrap options for how to include the file in the build.

To provide you an example: - Application: ElmiLog - Folder: elmilog.vfs - Files in this folder: - main.tcl - tclkit.ico - tclkit.inf Contents of tclkit.inf: FileDescription "ElmiLog Waagenanbindung universelle Datei" FileVersion 2.0 LegalCopyright "Elmicron GmbH" ProductName "ElmiLog" -EOF-

You suggestions have worked nicely. I had only one field that wasn't changed to the value I expected on my first try. I will continue to try other key names to see if I can get my value in it. On the properties dialog (and also the tooltip): "File Version: 8.5.2.2" is inherited from the tclkit. I included "FileVersion 1.0.0.0" in my tclkit.inf file, and I saw the confimation message during wrap, but it didn't overwrite the 8.5.2.2. Instead there is a separate property called "File Version" with value "1.0.0.0". That's confusing to have two fields named "File Version" each with a different value, so I will want to fix it. I suspect the keyword for the "other" "File Version" is different, maybe it's just "Version" |
