| Summary | 0009757: MM Installation wizard can be confusing missleading in some case | ||||
| Description | There is some improvements in Installation wizard regarding Portable Mode that could be improved: 1. Selecting Portable Mode still have NEXT Available even drive letter is not specified and can lead to issues on where MM is installed. 2. When using browse and select existing MM portable installation folder, byy default \MediaMonkey is appended which should not be the case in case of update is performed (I think it should be a way to detect existence of MediaMonkey.exe within selected folder) 3. Maybe it could be usable to read Create Desktop Shortcut as more and more users want to use MM as portable or are forced due the system incorrectly permissions issues (NOT RELATED WITH MM) but also retain desktop shortcut | ||||

4. When the user unclicks [ ] Portable mode, the path remains \MediaMonkey . I think that it should probably revert to non-portable path i.e. C:\Program Files\... (or the last used install path save to the registry) For MM 4.1, I think that 1. and 4. (and probably 2.) should be fixed. |

Note that this whole issue is child of 0008750, details there. I think that if we want to revert the default path to C:\Program Files\... for portable mode, then we would need to add the warning specified in 0009657 to prevent from problems reported in 0008750 |

Assigning to Ludek. Note that 4. is about _non_-portable mode. |

I've updated 0009567 with an appropriate warning, but as jiri implied, I don't think we need to implement it (my comment at 4. is about _disabling_ portable mode rather than enabling it). |

I've made it a little more sophisticated. If user clicks the Portable Installation checkbox and the entered path doesn't include the system program files directory, then the path doesn't change, but if the entered path contains PF directory (like the dafault path) then the path changes to [Drive from where you install]:\MediaMonkey Example 1: - I downloaded MM install package to D:\Downloads , clicked it and I see "C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey" - checked the [x] Portable Install checkbox => path changes to "D:\MediaMonkey" - unchecked the [ ] Portable Install checkbox => path changes back to "C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey" Example 2: - I previously installed MM to E:\MediaMonkey , I see "E:\MediaMonkey" - checked the [x] Portable Install checkbox => path doesn't change Implemented in build 1625 |
