Feat: Is it possible to auto-create a new folder during the installation of Amica?

dreamjz commented 9 months ago

Installer Used: amica_0.2.0_x64-setup.exe

Issue

Due to my negligence, I forgot to create a new folder during the installation of Amica and I directly chose D:\Apps. Amica was installed in D:\Apps\.

When I uninstalled it, the uninstaller started deleting the entire APP folder. Fortunately, I terminated the process before my some important apps(like goland, unreal engine) was deleted, only some less-used apps and my Epic Games were removed. T_T

Because I'm used to Windows software installations, in which they usually create a new folder automatically, such as Goland, UE. When I install them, a new folder will be created automatically:

D:\Apps -> D:\Apps\Goland 20xx-xx\
D:\Apps -> D:\Apps\UE_5.3\

Possible Solutions

After reading some tauri docs, I came up with two possible solustions:

1. Customize the Windows installer

I think this is troublesome and it might be not in the scope of amica.

Because Tauri does not provide relevant configurations, it is necessary to use a custom NSIS script. Here are some docs I found:

Tauri NSIS template: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/1.x/tooling/bundler/src/bundle/windows/templates/installer.nsi
Tauri Windows budle configuration: https://tauri.app/v1/guides/building/windows/#customizing-the-nsis-installer-template
Tauri NSIS configuration: https://tauri.app/v1/api/config/#nsisconfig.template

2. Tell users to create a new folder

Add a note in the Amica documentation to remind users to create a new folder during installation to prevent the unintentional deletion of important files during uninstallation.

What do you think about it? >_<

Well that sucks. Glad it didn't do more damage. I merged the doc update, thanks. I'll leave this open, it would be nice to add some message to installer as well.
