make copyfile easier to use #372

Open wixbot opened 19 years ago

wixbot commented 19 years ago

Code like this doesn't work:

<directory id="somedirectory" ....> ...

...

I would expect this to copy file with id "copyfromid" to directory with id "somedirectory".

Curently to acomplish this one needs to write code this way:

<directory id="somedirectory" ....> ... <copyfile id="copytoid" fileid="copyfromid" destinationdirectory="somedirectory" /> ...

Interesting. My only concern with allowing the simplified authoring would be that people don't understand what happens when they don't specify the DestinationDirectory or DestinationProperty attributes.

I looked at the source code. This feature is not fixed.

You will get an error stating that DestinationDirectory or DestinationProperty must be specified.
