Create a package file type #2

Open numeredev opened 1 year ago

numeredev commented 1 year ago

DESCRIPTION

What does your feature request improve on? Please describe. If we create a package, then we're limited to the contents, which fit into a NSCR file, which does not contain binary data for example. Embedding binary data would be helpful, if we want to embed images for example.

Describe the solution you'd like Create a new package file type (*.NPKG), which is a renamed ZIP file containing the install routine and supplementary files (like icons, images, configurations, etc.). This new file type shall be installable via double clicking and it shall createable by the package creator dialog.

Find a possibility to embed this kind of file into the repository and the repository browser.

Describe alternatives you've considered Usual NSCR files cannot contain binary data.
