Add files to root

Postby maximus » August 7th, 2011, 5:01 am

First I would like to say that this is a great project, and I greatly appreciate the effort that has been and is still being put into it. But I do have a question/request.

I know there is the extra folder to put files into, and the extra config file. But what I need is a way to put a few files on the root of the build, not in the extra folder. Is there a way to do this now? If not, then I would like to request that a way be added to do so, along with the normal extra folder.

Thanks

If you use usb why don't copy manually the files?
I did not expect this option because it can lead to incompatibilities

Sometimes I work with older computers that have slow usb speed and poor usb support, and a cd/dvd works better. Unfortunately there are no freeware ISO editors, or I would not have asked.

I understand about possible compatability problems when putting files directly on the root. I just thought the option would be nice, maybe as an advanced option with a warning box stating that it could have undisired results. And maybe a popup choice box if it finds files that it wants to overwrite.

On a side note, I did find a way to do it. It is a bit messy, but I opened the main SARDU_1 file with 7-zip and found a folder that I can add to, and it will end up on the root. Where there is a will, there is a way.

I just looked at the extra help for the new version... maybe I don't need files on the root, you are adding some nice options already that might do what I need.

It wasn't anything about a guide. I was basing my question on the last stable release, 2.0.3. I didn't look at the new beta, which looks like it will already have what I want with the new features you are adding. Looks like I am now a beta tester :mrgreen:
