Applies to: Installer, Uninstaller
|
Properties: |
- Allow new folder creation [Chooser Dialog]
If selected, the directory chooser that is displayed with the chooser button will feature a button to create new directories.
- Manual entry allowed [Chooser Dialog]
If selected, the user can enter the directory manually in the text field. Otherwise, the text field is disabled.
- Initial directory
The initially selected directory. Can be empty if no directory should be initially selected.
- Standard directory
A directory name that should be appended to the user selection in the directory browser. Should be empty if an existing directory has to be selected.
- Screen title [Messages]
The title of the screen, shown in a bold and larger font. Should be a concise subject.
- Screen subtitle [Messages]
The subtitle of the screen, shown below the title in a normal font. Should be a short question. This question is also used by the console installer for presenting the screen.
- Info text [Messages]
A paragraph that explains to the user what this screen is about. This message is shown in the body of the screen.
- Directory description [Messages]
The description of the kind of directory that the user should select, in a few words, e.g. "ABC directory". This will be shown in the border around the text field.
- Allow spaces in directory name [Unix]
If selected, spaces are valid characters in the installation directory name for Unix/Linux installers, otherwise an error message is displayed if the user chooses a directory with spaces in it. Some JREs do not work on Unix if installed to a path that contains spaces, so spaces are disallowed by default.
- Variable name for selection [User input]
The name of the variable to which the selected directory is saved when the user advances to the next screen.
- Validation script [User input]
The script that is executed when the directory is selected with the chooser button and when the user clicks on the Next button of the screen. If the script returns true, the selection is accepted, if it returns false, the selection is discarded.
- Standard validation [User input]
If selected, the standard validation for well-formed directory names will be performed. This validation is performed before the validation script and will canonicalize the directory name before passing it to the validation script.
- Allow empty input [User input]
If selected, the user can leave the directory empty or clear the initial directory (if manual entry is allowed) and there will be no validation error.
- Only accept writable directories [User input]
If selected, non-writable directories will be rejected.
